About the Irish Spatial Data Exchange

Using the exchange it is possible to search meta-data catalogues operated by each of the partner organisations. This can be done either using the ISDE Search page on this site, or by selecting the global option on the individual catalogue search pages from any of the partners’ websites.

Development of the exchange has been funded by the Information Society Fund, the DCENR Change and Innovation Fund and the Marine Institute.
The current partners participating in the exchange are the Coastal and Marine Resource Centre at UCC; the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Geological Survey of Ireland; the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Marine Institute.
