Geographic Information Systems and GI

Giving decision-makers in business and government the power to make more informed decisions using the spatial and temporal dimensions

Why do we need all this data and information?To reduce losses from natural and human induced disasters, for prevention and early warning, to improve human health & well-being, for better business/resource management and improved governance

Spatial data infrastructureTo encourage the collection, processing, archiving, integration, and sharing of geospatial data and information using common standards and interoperable systems and techniques ….. and accessible via the web

Mission goals of GSDI AssociationThe Association promotes international cooperation and collaboration in support local, national, cross-country and international SDI developments thatWill allow nations to better address social, economic and environmental issues ofpressing importanceIt is an inclusive non-governmental, non-profit organisation of organisations, firms, and individuals from around the world formed exlusively for educational, scientific and research purposes


4

Activitiesare in line with the vision and goals of GSDI:

Foster SDI development locally and globally

Promote access data at a variety of scales and from multiple sources, common standards, interoperable systems and techniques

Promote and develop awareness and exchanges establishing a knowledge portalFor all things related to SDI

Facilitate data discovery and access

Stimulate and conduct capacity building by small grants, conferences, workshops

Legislative SDI Framework in the EU: INSPIRE Directive

PrinciplesData should be collected once and maintained at the level,where this can be done most effectively

Combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources across the EU and share it between many users and applications

Spatial data should be collected at one level of government and shared between all levels of government

Spatial data needed for good governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive use

It should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its applicability for purpose and to know which conditions apply for its use


21

Legislative Framework in the EU: INSPIRE Directive

Data sets concerned

Annex ICoordinate reference systemsGeographical grid systems Geographical namesAdministrative unitsAddressesCadastral parcelsTransport networksHydrography Protected sites

Harmonised data specification

geometrically semantically logically topology

Annex IIElevation, Land cover, Identifiers of properties, Ortho-imagery, Geology

Annex IIIThematic data incl. Buildings, Land use, Human healths, Utilities and Governmental services etc

Objectives:To establish a Thematic Network as platform or communication and exchange among stakeholders involved in the creation and use of SDI`s

To bring together potential SDI stakeholders in order to increase awareness and to facilitate the creation of guidelines, and best practices

To establish communication mechanisms between European and local levels to maximize benefits of INSPIRE, GMES and GALILEO and e-government programmes

To develop solutions for multicultural and multilingual access, exploitation, use, and reuse of digital GI content in Europe

EUROGI VisionGI should become a fully integrated component of the European knowledge-based society

Mission GoalsIn order to ensure good governance, economic and social development, environmental protection and sustainability, and informed public participation, the mission is to maximise the availability and effective use of GI throughout Europe.

This will require EUROGI to stimulate, encourage and support the development and effective use of GI and relevant technologies, and to act as the voice for the European community.
