An operational spatial information infrastructure needs feasible spatial information exchange between different stakeholders. When building spatial information infrastructures at the international level interoperability between the national level and supra-national level data becomes particularly important. The paper presents a study analyzing spatial information interoperability in the field of land-use information. In particular, the case study addresses information exchange between German and European land-use planning information. Spatial Planning in Germany is regulated by the country-specific Federal Building Code. A spatial application schema XPlanGML was developed to serve as a standard for information exchange of spatial planning documents in the national e-government processes. At the European level the ongoing European INSPIRE initiative seeks to establish a framework to enable interoperable information exchange in many themes, one of which is the theme of land-use. The paper studies interoperability aspects between the recently released German standard as defined in XPlanGML and the current status of corresponding INSPIRE data specifications in detail. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
