La calidad de las IDE desde el punto de vista de la interoperabilidad

Abstract

The Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are recognized, under the label of “Integrated Geospatial Information Systems and Services” as one of the goals defined in UN-GGIM  (2018) in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Nevertheless, several voices are saying that the SDIs are not yet producing the expected results. To facilitate the resolution of their problems and gaps, it would be very useful to go deep in the existing SDI quality descriptions. This paper tries to go forward in this line of work taking as a basis the concept of interoperability as a core concept in SDIs. First of all, a brief and commented analysis is provided of the methodologies proposed until now for describing SDI quality. A descriptive taxonomy of quality indicators is proposed: actions performed indicators, quality results indicators, use indicators, impact indicators and cost-benefit indicators. A set of quality results indicators (resources implemented quality indicators) is presented following the European Interoperability Framework v2 stablished in 2017. Finally, a set of conclusions is outlined and some lines of work for improvement the situation are proposed, in most of cases with very necessary research areas associated.
