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
