National Spatial Data Infrastructure of Slovak Republic - Intergraph’s Web Services Implemented in Slovak Spatial Data Infrastructure The Slovak Republic delivered a complete catalogue service for the Web (CSW) and implemented Web Map Services (WMS), Web Feature Services (WFS) and Web Coverage Services (WCS) to comply with new rules of becoming a new Intergraph Expands Smart Grid Solution member of the European Union and the European Directive INSPIRE. through Partnership with eMeter Intergraph has partnered with meter data management Research project National Spatial Data Infrastructure of Slovak Republic (NSDI SR) was submitted by Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius (MDM) provider eMeter to integrate smart meter data into its Smart Grid University in Bratislava, leader of the research consortium. Spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) are necessary for each country and when this project was originally awarded, Operations Command-and-Control Centre. The integration will provide grid operators with consolidated the European Union had not yet released INSPIRE, the Web portal dedicated to the infrastructure for spatial information in Europe. Therefore, the Slovak Republic needed to end-to-end network visibility and management capabilities to provide utilities with the full operational develop rules for SDI from the ground up. Intergraph was a member of the research consortium for this project. benefits of their advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart meter deployments for use in outage detection and response. From the beginning, the aim of the project was to provide services that allow users to search in metadata catalogues and connect to available data sources. As part of NSDI SR, it was expected the system would comply with worldwide geographic information system (GIS) and commercial The Intergraph Smart Grid Operations Command-and-Control Centre standards. Nationwide systems like NSDI SR should always be universal, because they will be used by a wide group of users. Users are integrates the various technologies that make up a smart grid – outage typically looking for various data types and their associated metadata information. When the project began, there were not any metadata management, distribution management, supervisory control and data standards
