Brand new viewers for the Municipal SDI: the town planning approach

Abstract

Organizations use viewers to disclose the georeferenced information they produce, but what’s the actual scope of this information they publish? How many people do they reach? Madrid City Council introduces the brand-new generation of viewers for its Spatial Data Infrastructure. Nothing better to get to know them than using urban information as a common thread, which, as a set of mandatory rules they are, are subject to the principle of publicity enshrined in our Constitution and has, therefore, as a potential recipient the entire population of the municipality. But has that cap always been reached or has the scope been much less? This exciting journey through the history of Madrid’s urban information shows the scope it has had throughout all the times to conclude with the great potential of the new generation of viewers of Madrid’s Spatial Data Infrastructure.
