We have been commissioned by the government to coordinate the Swedish infrastructure for access to and exchange of geodata.
What does the coordination responsibility mean?
The coordination responsibility means, among other things, that we have a driving role to be responsible for development together with municipalities, county administrative boards, other authorities and organizations and management of the national infrastructure for geodata.
Roles and responsibilities
Here you can read about the roles and responsibilities that designated actors in the Swedish coordination structure for geodata have.

We coordinate the geodata area nationally and are a driving force in the implementation of the national geodata strategy. The implementation is based on collaboration between the actors involved. The Geodata Council has an important role in the work.
We coordinate the implementation of the Inspire directive in Sweden. The coordination role involves, for example, providing advice and support to the authorities affected by the infrastructure, managing the Swedish metadata catalog, managing the Geodata portal, developing and managing the collaboration model that lays the foundation for efficient data sharing between Swedish authorities.
The coordination responsibility is regulated in the ordinance on geographical environmental information (2010: 1770).
