Abstract
SENSOR is dependent on sufficient reliable and accurate data that have to be provided and shared by the partners within the project. Access to reliable and harmonised data across Europe is a fundamental precondition for realisation of the SENSOR project. The current chapter describes basics concerning geo-spatial data types and formats, system architecture and database technologies, interoperability standards, including the INSPIRE principles, data warehouse and GeoPortal technologies. Further some information on spatial data mining, on data policies and related legal aspects and the SENSOR approach for spatial data handling are provided.
