The research object of the project is the relation between a spatial data infrastructure and public sector innovation. As information is the basic resource of governments to fulfil its tasks in a complex society, databases become the backbone of public administrations. Three major datasets have to contain data on citizens, on companies and organisations as well as on geographic information. In this project the focus is on geographic information. A lot of information in the public sector has a geographic component, so the large-scale roll-out of a spatial data infrastructure will be of great strategic importance in itself and to the further development and innovation of public administration practices.
