The document discusses accessibility of geospatial data in Europe. It provides an overview of the INSPIRE Directive which aims to create a European Union spatial data infrastructure. The directive includes 34 spatial data themes that member states must make interoperable. It also discusses examples of best practices for data harmonization and access including Plan4all, Geoland.at and CentropeMAP. Potential use cases for linked geospatial data are described such as a mobility pass for real estate and web-based maps for the blind.
