INSPIRE Directive and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)
INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in the European community (INSPIRE), is an EC Directive concerning the sharing and harmonisation of spatial datasets across Europe. INSPIRE has considerable implications for the Highways Agency and other UK road administrations, because such organisations will be required to create standardised metadata (descriptions of the spatial data), as well as having to provide access to data that has been collected or created in standard form.
