The document summarizes Switzerland's national spatial data infrastructure (SDI) called geo.admin.ch, which is operated by swisstopo, the Federal Office of Topography. Some key points:
- Geo.admin.ch provides easy and rapid access to Switzerland's authoritative geodata through web services, maps, and APIs in compliance with the Federal Act on Geoinformation.
- It serves over 10,000 daily users and peaks at over 35,000, delivering over 1,300 map tiles per second.
- The SDI utilizes cloud computing, open standards, open source software and open APIs to boost innovation and generate value-added services while ensuring scalability and reasonable costs.
