About MyGDI

Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) enables people to discover, share and use geospatial information and services

Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) is an initiative by the government to develop a geospatial data infrastructure to enhance the awareness about data availability and improve access to geospatial information. This can be fulfilled by facilitating data sharing among participating agencies. MyGDI, as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) for Malaysia, is a geospatial data infrastructure that comprises of policies, standards, technology research and development and skilled human resources.

MyGDI facilitates online access to geospatial information, avoid duplication of effort in collection of data and to ensure the accuracy, timeliness, correctness and consistency of available data that enables far more comprehensive analysis of data to help decision-makers choose the best course(s) of action.

The Goal of MyGDI

To enable members of the geospatial communities in Malaysia to share and access geospatial information by establishing key partnerships with federal and states agencies, local authorities, academia and the private sector.
