User-centric SDI: Addressing Users Requirements in Third- Generation SDI. The Example of Nature-SDIplus

Today, Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) play a key role in spatial information sharing. Since their beginning, SDIs undertook tremendous changes. Product-based (first-generation)models evolved to process-based (second-generation) SDI models. Now we face shift to user-centric, third-generation...
