A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is a coordinated series of agreements on technology standards, institutional arrangements and policies that enable the discovery and use of geospatial information by users for a range of purposes. While SDIs have economic, social and environmental benefits, they require inter-disciplinary organizational, coordinated studies to preserve the ecology and for sustainable development. Turkey is moving towards a spatially enabled society underpinned by a national geo-spatial data infrastructure, called TNSDI (Turkish National Spatial Data Infrastructure). In this article, the initial organizational studies and action plans in Turkey for TNSDI are described. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
