The objectives of the subject are:
· Introduce the student to the Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI), its principles, components and regulations.
· Introduce students to web technologies and learn the languages and architectures related to Geographic Information.
· Know the geographic data of reference, web cartography, metadata, catalogs and their rules.
· Know the geoservices and provide students with the skills to use the services of a SDI. Create and manage your own geoservices and share geographic data.
· Know the applications of the SDI, in the field of territorial information, land planning and land management.
The memory of the Master contemplates for this subject the following contents:
· Basic concepts of SDI and geographic information on the Internet: Actors, policies, technologies and regulations in an SDI.
· Geographical information web services: visualization, download, processing and location.
· The servers of maps and geographic information: catalogs, dictionaries and metadata.
· The creation and management of web geoservices for land planning and land management.
These contents configure the theoretical and practical program of the subject, which will be developed according to the following theoretical and practical programs (The estimated time of study, both face-to-face and indidual work and/or study of the student, is indicated below the title; These times are indicative and may vary slightly, depending on the dynamics of the group and the student himself):
THEORETICAL PROGRAM:
· Unit 1. Introduction to SDIs. Basic concepts of SDIs and geographic information on the Internet: Actors, policies, technologies, regulatory framework and standards of SDI. SDI nodes (Face-to-face time: 1 hours. Individual work time: 2 hours)
· Unit 2. Web technologies and languages of geographic information. Viewers and clients (Face-to-face time: 2 hours. Individual work time: 3 hours)
· Unit 3. The geographic information web services: visualization, download, processing and location. Standards (OGC, INSPIRE), Technical Guidelines and Implementation Guides (Face-to-face time: 2 hours. Individual work time: 4 hours)
· Unit 3. Maps and geographic information servers: catalogs, dictionaries and metadata (Face-to-face time: 2 hours. Individual work time: 3 hours)
· Unit 4. The creation and management of web geoservices for land planning and land management. Applications and SDI nodes, in the field of territorial information, land planning and management (Face-to-face time: 2 hours. Individual work time: 3 hours)
PRACTICAL PROGRAM:
· Practice 1. Location, access and visualization of public geographic data for the land planning and management. (Face-to-face time: 3 hours. Individual work time: 6 hours)
· Practice 2. Structure of XML documents and creation of geographic information metadata (Face-to-face time: 3 hours. Individual work time: 6 hours)
· Practice 3. Management of visualization and download services for land planning and management. (Face-to-face time: 3 hours. Individual work time: 6 hours)
· Practice 4. Implementation of a visualization service and construction of a visualization web client (Face-to-face time: 3 hours. Individual work time: 6 hours)
The practical contents are developed in interactive classes in which the previous theoretical contents are deepened and put into practice, once the theoretical exposition is finished. In addition, students will carry out an individual WORK where they will analyze a SDI node for land planning and management at the local, provincial or autonomous level. (Individual work time: 12 hours).

BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCES
CG01 - Ability to search and select useful information for on complex problems, fluently managing existing bibliographic sources and statistics.
CG03 - Ability to collect spatial information from different sources and integrate it into spatial databases.
CB7 - That students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the ultimate knowledge and reasons that support it, to specialized and non-specialized audiences, in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be in goog part self-directed or autonomous.
CROSS-CURRICULAR COMPETENCES
