Abstract

River Information Services and INSPIRE Spatial Data Infrastructure are examples of two systems which are providing spatial data for public use. The first one is dedicated for stakeholders of inland shipping and waterways users, while the second one is commonly used by publicity for viewing spatial information. Thus, both systems provide spatial data, however, they are dedicated for different groups of users. The paper addressed the problem whether both systems could collaborate technologically. The scope of data processed in systems, as well as the set of offered services are described and compared. Finally, the concept of data integration and interoperability of services is presented.
