Resumen
Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have been identified as essential for environmental management and development activities around the world. The development of frameworks to monitor and evaluate SDIs is currently an important research area. This study proposes Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a framework for evaluating and monitoring the implementation of SDIs. The concept and advantages of BSC for strategy implementation are described in the paper. Furthermore, a general framework for the evaluation of Swedish NSDI in line with the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) directive is presented. The case study shows that BSC is suitable for evaluating Swedish NSDIs and the results can be used by other SDIs.
