A critical goal, is that organizations and citizens can easily access the geographic information required for good governance. However, despite the costly efforts of governments to create and implement Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs), this goal is far from being achieved. This is partly due to the lack of usability of the geoportals through which the geographic information is accessed. In this position paper, we present IDEAIS, a research network composed of multiple Ibero-American partners to address this usability issue through the use of Intelligent Systems, in particular Smart Voice Assistants, to efficiently recover and access geographic information.
