Methodology for assessing the overall based on three criteria: transparency, functionality and content available. Category transparency are attributes of evaluation defining the effort it takes an organization to share information through its Web site. The functional category defining attributes of assessing the ease with which users can obtain information on one page. Rating the content is quantitative verification of spatial data contained in the portal of the three thematic groups of the Act on infrastructure.
The proposed method of assessing the valuation performed spatial data quality in 29 counties located throughout the country. As a result of research work, it was found that the overall assessment web geoportals is satisfactory. Each of the sites got more than half the maximum number of points.
