The Swedish approach regarding the capture, storage and use of data and especially
geographic data is one where the national, regional and local levels appear to be well
interlinked. The Swedish NSDI strongly incorporates cadastre-based information.
Additional drivers for the NSDI include the needs of stakeholders such as Municipalities
which migrate their Master Plans and their planning processes into GIS environments, as
well as the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency which is working together with
NLS to build up the components for its own thematic SDI.
