On June 24, 2024, a workshop on the topic ” SDI Registers and Data Entry” was held in Sarajevo. Ten representatives from the following institutions attended the workshop:

• Federal Hydrometeorological Institute
• Federal Ministry of Education and Science
• Federal Ministry of Trade
• Cantonal Institute for Urbanism, Spatial Planning and Protection of the Cultural and Historical Heritage of the Central Bosnia Canton
• Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction, and Environmental Protection of the West Herzegovina Canton
• Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs of the Central Bosnia Canton
• Anticorruption and Quality Control Office of the Sarajevo Canton

During the workshop, participants were introduced to the Organizational Model of the Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SDI FBiH) and the SDI FBiH Registers. The application solution for the SDI Registers and the method for entering data into the SDI Registers were presented. Following the introduction, participants, with the help of the organizers, entered basic information about the institutions accessing SDI FBiH as SDI FBiH stakeholders.

At the end of the workshop, participants were also given a brief introduction to the concept of the Metadata Catalogue and the entry of information on spatial data sources into the Spatial Data Source Register of SDI FBiH as well as the Metadata Catalogue.

The inclusion of the aforementioned institutions in SDI FBiH represents an important step towards enhancing the metadata database and ensures that stakeholders included in SDI FBiH are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary for consistent management and updating of spatial data and metadata.

The Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs remains committed to providing support to all SDI FBiH stakeholders and continuously improving the quality and availability of spatial data.
