  1. Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Mark Reichardt Mreichardt@usgs.gov Federal Geographic Data Committee GSDI Steering Group Member

  2. Survey of SDI’s Around the World • SDI activities underway or planned around the globe • 45+ nations planning or implementing NSDI • Regional organizations in Europe, Asia/Pacific, Americas • Many differences, but may common themes • Survey extended to broaden responses and analyze implications http://www.spatial.maine.edu/~onsrud/GSDI.htm

  3. Global Spatial Data Infrastructure • “The policies, organizational remits, data, technologies, standards, delivery mechanisms, and financial and human resources necessary to ensure that those working at the global and regional scale are not impeded in meeting their objectives” • Source: Second GSDI Conference, 1997, North Carolina USA

  4. Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Focus Areas • Awareness and Outreach • National Strategy / Priority – Importance of SDI to key decision-making • Global Service Catalog • Exchange of proven practices • Technical • Policy • Case Studies • Financing, supporting resources

  5. Global Spatial Data InfrastructureFocus Areas • Business Case Study (2000) • SDI Implementation Guide – internationally developed document to help grow globally compatible SDI’s • Geodata Development • Geodata Cataloging • Visualization, and Access • Metadata, Standards • Supporting Case Studies • Outreach and Capacity Building • Other Services Version 1.0 Online by April 2000 www.gsdi.org

  6. Global Spatial Data InfrastructureFocus Areas • Regional SDI Activities • Permanent Committee on Geospatial Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific (PCGIAC) • European Umbrella Organization for Geographic Information (EUROGI) • Permanent Committee of the Americas • February 2000

  7. Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Focus Areas • Technology initiatives have the potential to “leap frog” transitioning nations rapidly • Open GIS www based standards and catalog services (open geoprocessing) • ISO TC 211 metadata standards • Expansion of WWW connectivity • Increased access to low cost clients, global data • GSDI is providing the reference environment to implement compatible SDI’s

  8. US NSDI Clearinghouse Growth 1994 – 2000

  9. Delivery Mechanisms Organizational Remits Technologies Finance/Human Resources Standards Policies Data Global Map, SRTM, Corine ISO/TC211 NMA’s / World Bank OGDI SDI Relationships NGDF ASDI Clearinghouses NSDIPA ICDE EGII CGDI Digital Earth NSDI APSDI Open GIS NSIF HUNAGI SNIG NaLIS http://www.gsdi.org

  10. Forecast for 2003 • Pervasive GSDI organization developed, with extensive international representation • A GSDI Implementation Guide is maintained as key tool for national SDI development • Permanent Regional Committees for most regions of the world • Increased participation in SDI activities by UN, private sector, NGO’s, and others

  11. Forecast for 2003 • Open geoprocessing technology and data standards move us to a virtual WWW SDI marketplace • Telecommunications growth in Africa, South America, & other areas increases accessibility • Financing sources increase support of infrastructure development as part of focus programs

  12. Node Node Node Node FGDC Node Node CEONet Node Node Today: Global Reach On the Way Clearinghouse Sites Gateways Web Client • Many ISO conformant Gateways provide Global Search and Access • South Africa (NSIF), Canada (CEONet), US (FGDC Clearinghouse), Australia • (Australian Data Delivery Service) • Metadata is the key, without it, spatial catalogs will not work

  13. Tomorrow: A Global Spatial Infrastructure Enabled Through Partnerships, Standards, Technology Users s s s Government Businesses Consumers Internet Global Service Catalog • E-Commerce • Authentication • Other Web-Enabled Services Service Map Catalog Services Services Registry Internet Registered Local, , Regional, Data Metadata Metadata Metadata Metadata Metadata Metadata Metadata Imagery Elevation Hydrography Demographics Health Geodetic Control Transportation Urban Indicators Food Avail Forecasts Economic Local Cadastre Environment Crime

  14. Recommendations • Many of the building blocks for a UN data base exist today • Move to: • Identify assets • Inventory – Create Metadata for geospatial information holdings (cost, control, liability) • Advertise - your data and services for others to discover (Catalog) • Consistency – use proven practices and standards • Partner – agreements to share and maintain • Share when possible – don’t recreate • Interoperate when you can, don’t design
