Pang and Parry Oei}, abstract = {The establishment of national Marine Spatial Data Infrastructures (MSDI) have been geographically uneven due to challenges such as funding, political will and human capital. Furthermore, actualising MSDI benefits; enabling and supporting hydrospatial applications, poses another set of challenges. Using Singapore’s national MSDI ̶ GeoSpace-Sea, this paper uncovers four catalysts of GeoSpace-Sea’s development and describes three challenges an emerging national MSDI confronts when actualising its envisaged benefits. These challenges could vary over time, space and the MSDI’s maturity. Along with integrated hydrospatial and geospatial management, MSDIs would foreseeably continue to be key to unlocking the value of spatial data and in revealing insights into the past, present and future. }, )
