Spatial Data Infrastructures: Patent Analysis

The spatial data infrastructure is evolving more and more, countries make use of it, benefiting from the advantages that access to geographic data, through web service to of domain public, which improve the use of territorial resources. The objective of the research was to analyze the spatial data infrastructure, through the analysis of patents; it was documentary, descriptive; with a transectional and bibliometric design. The population consisted of 35 patents published from 2009 to 2019 in the US, European and Asian patent offices; Information treatment was performed with VantagePoint software and SPSS version 10, an analysis matrix was used for data collection. The results obtained show that the greatest research activity is concentrated between the years 2017 and 2018, the countries that exercise leadership within the study area are China, the United States, and South Korea; The areas that presents the greatest development in the first place are the services of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), in second place the Geographic Information Systems in the cloud (GIS Cloud) and in third place with an innovative nature, the Spatial Big Data, Mining Data; and the so-called Voluntary Geographic Information (VGI) & Crowdsourcing collaboratives. The stage of development that the technology is emergent.
