The strategic aim of 
geomatics 
is the distributed usage of spatial data in the spatial data 
infrastructure [based on Voser 2007, S. 89]. 
This is reached by buidling up 
interoperable 
solutions using standards and data models. 
[Gubler 2003] lists the following components belonging to a spatial data infrastructure:
- basic or core spatial data
 
- meta data
 
- essential spatial services
 
- technical infrastructure
 
- education and research
 
- standards
 
- law
 
- pricing and data distribution/data
