Summary/Abstract: The article presents the idea and the main objectives of the project: „Th e development of digital geospatial resources and their availability in the National Geoinformation Science System Integrating Geodetic Knowledge – OGNIWO”. Th e project was financed in frames of the Innovative Economy Operational Programme, Priority 2. Th e general objective of the project is to provide permanent and secure access to the advanced information infrastructure for representatives of Polish scientific environment and enteprenuers. Th e system enables the use of geoinformation resources of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography for the scientific, research, economic and educational purposes. IGiK has some unique geoinformation resources regarding, among others. photogrammetry, remote sensing, geodesy and geodynamics or cartography, as well as resources of scientific publications and research results in this field. Th e result of the project is the OGNIWO geoportal that enables a wide group of various potential recipients to get access to the resources through a typical web browser. Spatial data services are delivered using the Internet as the main medium and are available for all authorized users.
