N2 - The relation of spatial data and e-Government is important, but not alwaysacknowledged in the development and implementation of e-Government. Theimplementation of the INSPIRE directive pushed this agenda towards a growingawareness of the role of spatial data and the need for a spatial data infrastructureto support e-Government. With technology, policies, data and infrastructure inplace, new iterations of this relationship are needed, in order to reach a higherlevel of maturity. This paper analyses and discusses the need for thedifferentiated roles of spatial data as an important step towards more mature eGovernment. As part of this understanding, the paper focuses on a subset ofdata, so-called ‘spatio-legal data’. Spatio-legal data are created within theregulated legal environment of public administration, and used for rulings within a given legal area. Sometimes, the legal status of these data is the wording of thelaw and the spatial data are just visualisation thereof. Under other circumstances,the spatial data themselves represent the legal status. Compliance betweenspatial data and the legal administrative framework is necessary, to obtain amature e-Government. A preliminary test of the hypothesis on a small scale,using Denmark as a case study, supports the need for discussion and awarenessof the role of spatial data in e-Government with emphasis on the use of spatio-legal data.
