Current set up of SDI in Malaysia The Malaysian Centre for Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MaCGDI) was established on 1st December 2002 under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE). MaCGDI plays crucial roles to spearhead the geospatial industry in Malaysia towards materialising the benefits of geospatial information. MaCGDI will provide better services to merge the geospatial industry into the mainstream IT in Malaysia MaCGDI was founded to establish the Malaysian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) as the Malaysian NSDI.

Current set up of SDI in Malaysia MyGDI as MALAYSIAN NSDI MyGDI comprises of technology, policies, standards and procedures for data provider agencies to cooperatively produce and share geospatial information. MyGDI is an initiative by the government to enhance the awareness about data availability and improve access to geospatial information by facilitating data sharing among participating agencies. MyGDI provides a basis for spatial data exploration, evaluation and application for users and data providers, within all levels of government, commercial, and non-profit sectors, academia and the public.
