Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) manual for the Arctic / a collective work by the national mapping agencies of the eight Arctic countries, Canada, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, United States...: M104-12/2017E-PDF

“The Arctic Spatial Data Infrastructure (Arctic SDI), launched by representatives from the eight participating national mapping agencies of the Arctic countries, was established to address [the] need for readily available spatial data in the North. This manual addresses the needs of 3 different audiences: the high-level strategic decision makers, the Arctic data providers and distributors, and the end users of Arctic data. The goal of this manual is to provide information and guidance on the planning, management, development and maintenance of the Arctic SDI to the various involved groups, to provide best data management practices, to identify policy and guideline requirements and to demonstrate the value and benefits of using a SDI for efficient monitoring and decision making in the Arctic. It is inspired by and building on the United Nations SDI Manual for the Americas (CP-IDEA, 2013) and other references"--Executive summary, p. 1.
