The Swiss Background Legal Situation 3
The Swiss background Legal situation Art. 75a of the Federal Constitution: Mensuration/ measurement 1. The national measurement is under the control of the Confederation. 2. The Confederation legislates on the cadastral survey. 1. It can legislate on the harmonisation of official geo information. Adopted by the Swiss people in 2004 INSPIRE Conference 2011 - Edinburgh 4
The Swiss background Legal situation National Act on Geoinformation Is fully compliant to the INSPIRE directive (without reporting obligation to EU bodies) Represents a similar legal basis to Switzerland as the national acts do for the EU Member States Goes beyond the INSPIRE directive by involving all geoinformation (not restricted to environmental themes), referred to by a Swiss legislation or decree The respective regulation lists over 178 data themes (of which 75 concern the environment) for which metadata, a minimal federal data model and geoservices (e.g. visualisation and download) have to be provided INSPIRE Conference 2011 - Edinburgh 5
The Swiss Background Organizational Issues 6
The Swiss background Organizational Issues Cantons transpose the national act by introducing their own cantonal laws on Geoinformation Cantons and municipalities organize, implement and handle their own local SDIs (over 30 local portals!) cities and cantons or several cantons provide regional SDIs Public but also PPP and private providers Access through Geoportals Portals of the Cantons are accessible through KKGEO Web site The Swiss Federation provides a Federal Geoportal for the access to all thematic portals of federal offices NSDI coordination through e-geo.ch INSPIRE Conference 2011 - Edinburgh 7
