SNIT Project Overview

Legal Background

SNIT Objectives

SDI/SNIT Framework



The Portuguese National Spatial Planning Act (1998) requires the Government to establish a national spatial planning data infrastructure. Needed to:

Ensure easy and broad public access to information on spatial plans and other relevant territorial data;

Support monitoring and assessment of: Territorial state and main trends; Policies related to spatial planning and urban development.

Legal Background




Legal Background

SNIT Objectives

SDI/SNIT Framework



Aimed to be a collaborative platform linking public services engaged with territorial management. Intended to deliver official information to citizens and to stakeholders involved in territorial development. Meets the Spatial Planning Act and the Law on Spatial Plans by:

Ensuring public access to spatial and urban development plans as well as to information on their implementation;

Contributing to a more efficient spatial planning, promoting the effective coordination between the involved stakeholders and assuring a better information flow within the Administration;

Delivering a better service to the government, the citizens and the private organisations.

Legal Background

SNIT Objectives

SDI/SNIT Framework



SNIT is managed by DGT, the Portuguese INSPIRE Contact Point, as well as SNIG (our national SDI). As part of SNIT and to help achieving its objectives, DGT and Intergraph developed SDI/SNIT, a national thematic SDI, following INSPIRE orientations. Drivers:

Transnational initiatives for geographic information interoperability and harmonization, like INSPIRE Directive, OGC Specifications and ISO Standards;

Increasing demand for geographical and territorial information worldwide, promoted by Google Earth and other similar social platforms, as well as the growing usage of mobile applications.

SDI/SNIT Framework



The SDI/SNIT GeoPortal is developed over Intergraph’s Geospatial Portal, from the Intergraph’s Geospatial Portfolio, and consumes standard OWS (internal or external).



SDI/SNIT Implementation

Business Process Internal Workflow

Metadata Catalogue and GeoPortal




SNIT team members use a BackOffice application to administer and manage SDI/SNIT contents: Following a workflow of activities, defined to address the

business process of publishing spatial plans on SDI/SNIT:

Using a workspace prepared to optimized performance: Each user receives specific activities to perform and process its

tasks as they are delivered in its Task Manager window;

To support those, a set of Tools can be opened on another window.

This BackOffice app is based in GeoMedia Smart Client and makes use of GeoMedia, GeoMedia WebMap and Geospatial SDI, all from the Intergraph’s Geospatial Portfolio.

The results of this process are delivered as OWS: An SDI/SNIT Metadata Catalogue service (CSW); Various scales and themes Viewing Services (WMS); Specific municipal land use Download Services (WFS). SDI/SNIT Web Services can be invoked and used in: The SDI/SNIT GeoPortal

By the anonymous citizen, free of charge;

Other, web or desktop, interoperable SDI clients By accredited users, under a paid access agreement.



SDI/SNIT Implementation






SDI/SNIT GeoPortal can be accessed on DGT site:




From the Metadata Catalogue side. DGT has a custom metadata profile (MOTU), that restricts

the usage of specific metadata elements but conforms with: ISO 19115/19119 base standards; INSPIRE Profile for ISO Metadata Application Profile for CSW 2.0; The Portuguese National Profile.

SNIT team loaded more than 5000 records of metadata: Around 3600 Datasets, 1450 Series, and 30 Services (counting…); Shared XML files are harvested and published in the national SDI.

All published by SDI/SNIT Metadata Catalogue (CSW). The SDI/SNIT metadata is managed and validated in Intergraph’s Common Catalogue

(part of Geospatial SDI), from the Intergraph’s Geospatial Portfolio.







From the GeoPortal side. Developed to follow the INSPIRE Architecture of the

Publish-Find-Bind pattern, with a Rights Management Layer in place for the accredited users access:




From the GeoPortal side. “Publish” phase is assured by BackOffice activities; “Find” phase will be the first SDI/SNIT user interaction

(GeoPortal starts on the Catalogue Search Mode):




From the GeoPortal side. “Bind” phase will occur each time a user adds a WMS or

a WFS, with the interface changing to Visualization Mode:



Current Results and Plans

INSPIRE Compliance

Monitoring and Quality of Service



INSPIRE Compliance

Current version of SDI/SNIT is OGC compliant but still, not fully compliant with latest INSPIRE requirements: SDI/SNIT is under a migration process to the latest 2013

versions of Intergraph geospatial software that will allow DGT to quickly upgrade to this level of compliance:

This SDI components are delivered by Geospatial SDI, over the basic capabilities of GeoMedia WebMap (and ERDAS APOLLO), from the Intergraph’s Geospatial Portfolio.



Current Results and Plans

Metadata and Web Services Conformity





All SDI/SNIT activity can be permanently monitored: Internally:

SNIT team activities in the scope of the BackOffice workflow tasks (used to generate management reports for the administrators);

Web services usage, either requested by the GeoPortal (public access) or by external accredited users, using other SDI clients.

Externally: Quality of Service can be tested and

evaluated using Quality Monitor: Admin: Configure custom QoS tests; Map Layer: Locate tests on the map; Data Window: Present updated,

detailed and graphic information from the QoS tests.
