It is very useful for Geolocation services. This is due to the fact that the amount of open data has been increasing and most of the data have a spatial reference and hence called geodata. It improves employment possibilities and facilitates becoming an e-citizen using e-government information.Time and space are very important for data analysis. Therefore, it is possible to learn geography from SDI geodata, especially if it is integrated into a learning environment. Some examples will be analysed. Geodata provides us with open data and a holistic approach that lead us to come to our conclusions which in turn improve learning quality leading to the acquisition of spatial and digital competencies.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess54 Geografíajournal articleSpatial Data InfratructuresLearningInteractive Web MapsWebGIS
