Abstract

The paper provides overview of research and studies covering implementation and development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) concept in Serbia. Research had been done in 2011 divided by 2013, with the objective to determine situation in geo-sector and the INSPIRE Directive implementation. The results of these studies are the basis and inspiration for the creation of new technological development projects and the concept of NSDI in the period 2014 divided by 2020. The institutions in charge of implementation of NSDI are making significant efforts in implementation of the INSPIRE Directive through regional or national projects. The present paper elaborates the achieved level of NSDI technical implementation, data, network services and provides recommendations for future development. Future development of the NSDI will be based on the accurate, reliable and updated spatial information collected with various modern technologies. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology and the NSDI concept are constitutive parts of the main development trends.
