It was created mainly to enable the reporting requirements for the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) to be carried out technically and organisationally. From a technical-conceptual point of view, it is a spatial data infrastructure (SDI), which is by numerous components. Each participating institution operates an infrastructure node (ISK) consisting of the following three basic components: services for providing data, metadata and a database. In addition to these core components, further modules are implemented at the ISK, for instance, a coastal gazetteer or a presentation of monitoring data. The paper examines the strategic orientation of the Schleswig-Holstein infrastructure node, the functions it assumes in the MDI-DE network and other target environments. The technical base components and extensions, like a WPS-demonstrator or the coastal gazetteer, are described.deText/Conference Paper
