Coordination

Lantmäteriet has a national coordination responsibility for geodata

In June 2006, the Swedish Government commissioned Lantmäteriet to coordinate geodata nationally. The aim is to create a national infrastructure for geodata.

The coordination responsibility is regulated in the Swedish Ordinance on spatial information (2010:1770).

The coordination responsibility means that Lantmäteriet will:

• develop and administer the national infrastructure for geodata together with the Swedish local authorities, county administrative boards and other authorities and organisations
• coordinate and support the national implementation of the INSPIRE-directive
• explain and interpret the INSPIRE-requirements
• be the national contact point towards the European Commission

The Geodata Advisory Board supports Lantmäteriet

The Swedish Government has established a Geodata Advisory Board to support Lantmäteriet in its coordinating role.

The INSPIRE-directive is coordinated nationally

Lantmäteriet is responsible for coordination and support of the national implementation of the EU directive INSPIRE. The directive implies a European infrastructure for geodata, to improve conditions for collaboration in the field of the environment.
