Abstract

The NSDI concept has changed with the development of the NSDI. While the NSDI was initially established as a separate entity, recently more attention has been given to the SDI hierarchy, from a local level to a global level. As an advanced NSDI, the USA, the UK and Canada emphasize more on better citizen services through an e-Government GIS portal such as the USA's Geospatial One-Stop. This study hypothesizes that the characteristics of NSDIs can be different from each nation in terms of vision, structure, evolution stages and a degree of integration with the e-Government. Rather than to describe differences just fur comparison, more characteristics of NSDIs are identified and the comparisons are developed as recommendations for the future NGIS(National Geographic Information System) in Korea.

국가공간데이터기반 개념은 국가공간데이터기반의 발전과 더불어 변화한다. 초기의 국가공간데이터기반은 개별적이고 공간데이터기반 자체에 초점을 두었지만, 최근 국가공간데이터기반은 세계, 지역 및 지방공간데이터기반 간의 위계구조에서의 역할이 초점이 맞추어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근의 국가공간데이터기반의 특성과 미국, 영국, 캐나다 국가공간데이터기반 등 각 국에 대한 비교, 분석을 통해 향후 우리나라의 차세대 국가공간데이터기반, 즉 국가GIS의 정책방향을 모색하도록 한다.
