Providing a gateway to data, decisions, and innovation – Georgia’s National Geoportal
National Agency of Public Registry
The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) is one of the key pillars of the e-governance agenda in Georgia. Launching the NSDI geoportal has laid the foundation for a unified and transparent ecosystem aligned with international standards. More than a technical platform, it serves as a strategic tool for valid, up-to-date, and harmonised spatial data sharing through a single point of access, informed decision-making, and fostering collaboration among public authorities, private stakeholders, and the wider community.
Davit Devidze, Chairman of National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR), Georgia
The National Geoportal of Georgia was launched on July 2025 by the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Coordinator, the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR). This unified digital platform for spatial data ensures standardised data description and improved accessibility, while aligning with the EU INSPIRE Directive.
The National Geoportal of Georgia was introduced through a phased and coordinated approach, combining institutional cooperation, legal alignment with the NSDI Law, and the technical development of core system components. All system components were developed in-house by IT Department of NAPR, ensuring flexibility for future enhancements and facilitating the seamless integration of additional modules and services. The process involved close collaboration with data-producing agencies and international consultants, standardisation of metadata and services, gradual integration of existing spatial datasets into a unified national platform, and targeted capacity-building activities.
The National Geoportal integrates information resources, a map interface, and related applications, including the National Metadata Catalogue, the Metadata Editor, and the Validator. Developed in line with the EU INSPIRE Directive, the National Geoportal is fully operational at https://nsdi.gov.ge/en and provides access to standardised OGC services, enabling efficient discovery, visualisation, sharing, and downloading of harmonised spatial data.
