GDI Federated Node

Expression of Interest to Onboard GIS Data

About the Federated GDI Node

Geo-Intel Lab at IITTNiF is proud to host one of India’s pioneering Federated Nodes of the Geospatial Data Interface (GDI). This platform forms a vital component of the National Geospatial Policy 2022 and supports the creation of an interoperable, decentralized, and standards-compliant ecosystem for spatial data sharing.

Built in collaboration with national stakeholders, the GDI node allows organizations, academic institutions, and government bodies to publish, access, and integrate spatial datasets securely—supporting applications in Digital Twin, Urban Planning, Infrastructure, Tourism, Indoors Mapping, and Precision Agriculture.

Key Features

• OGC-Compliant Services: Supports WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS, and other Open Geospatial Consortium standards

• Secure Data Sharing: Access control and permission-based federation

• Interoperability: Seamlessly integrates with global GIS platforms and national geospatial initiatives

• AI-Ready: Serves structured geospatial data for advanced analytics, ML pipelines, and decision support systems

• Aligned with NGP 2022: Promotes open data exchange under Government of India’s National Geospatial Policy

Board Your Data with Us

We invite government departments, research institutions, startups, and industries to onboard their spatial datasets onto our GDI Federated Node.
