ResumoThis study presents an implementation framework for the development of planetary spatial data infrastructures (PSDIs) that support improved spatial data management, discovery, access, and utilization. The implementation framework is drawn from terrestrially developed theoretical models (e.g., product‐based, process‐based, and complex adaptive system approaches) and case studies from large‐scale, multiorganization, or transnational spatial data infrastructures. We adapt these terrestrially proven techniques for the planetary sciences and present a Europa case study. This case study includes a knowledge inventory of available foundational and framework data products, the availability and access mechanisms currently used to discover said products, the interoperability of said products in geographic information systems, a review of the policies and standards currently being used by the Europa science community, and discussion of the users a Europa PSDI would serve. This study concludes with a vision for a unified, cross‐organization Europa PSDI to support both current science investigations and future data collection efforts.
