  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.
