Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE)

The Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) is a set of standards and tools that help countries in Europe share and use geographic data consistently. It ensures that maps, environmental data, and other location-based information are available, compatible, and accessible across borders. By doing so, INSPIRE supports better decision-making for issues like urban planning, environmental protection, and disaster management, making it easier for governments, businesses, and researchers to collaborate using accurate, up-to-date spatial information.
