The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2011 INSPIRE Conference about implementing an organizational spatial data infrastructure (SDI) at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH). The presentation discussed CEH's efforts to make its environmental data more accessible and shareable by developing an SDI using Esri and con terra technology. This included building an information gateway with automated metadata and data management. The presentation emphasized that an SDI requires addressing organizational and cultural challenges to data sharing, and suggested going beyond basic INSPIRE compliance to realize greater benefits like cost savings and improved stakeholder access to data.
