Georreferenced information has been increasingly required for the planning and
decision-making in different sectors of society. New ways of dissemination of data, such as
the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web services, have contributed to the ease of access
to this information. Even with all the technological advances in the area of data distribution,
there is still low availability of georreferenced data about the Amazon. The goal of the present
work is the development of a spatial data infrastructure (SDI), that is, an environment of
sharing and use of georreferenced data based on the technology of web services, metadata and
interfaces that allow the user easy access to these data. The present work discussess the OGC
patterns, the most relevant georeferrenced data servers, the main web clients, and the
revolution in the dissemination of georeferrenced data which geobrowsers and web clients
offered to regular users. Data to be released for the case study come from the project
Exploitation of Non-wooden Forest Products-PFNM-in progress at the National Institute of
Research in the Amazon-INPA-as well as from inventories of NGOs and other government
bodies. Besides contributing to the enhancement of PFNM, this project aims at encouraging
the use of GIS in the state of Amazonas offering tech support for the deployment of
geographic databases and sharing between agencies, optimizing the resources applied in this
area through the use of free software and integration of diffuse information currently
available.
