Statutory basics in Germany

Resolutions & decisions of the German Bundestag on the GI

subject

15 February 2001 and 10 April 2003

� To force the implementation and further development of the spatial

data infrastructure for Germany (GDI-DE)

� To promote the cross-departmental use of GI by (web) services

� Cooperation Federal Government & federal states & economy &

scientific sector

� Coordination of the GI activities by the Federal Government is

needed

Based on the resolution of 2001, the Federal Government is called upon

to provide the German Bundestag in the third year of each legislative

Survey of user requirements

Motivation

� Compilation of current and future requirements for spatial data on the

federal, state and municipality level

� for strategic decision of the spatial data suppliers,

� for monitoring activities on the political-strategic level.

� by the institutions using the data on the federal level,

� through a web based Tool.

� Evaluation of spatial data products of the National Geo Data Base (NGDB)

� Identification of lacks/inefficiencies in providing spatial data.

� Tailor-mademodification or re-engineering of spatial data.

� Tailor-made licensing of spatial data.

� Development of new web services for providing spatial data.

INSPIRE Conference 2011, June 28, Edinburgh, UK 13

Survey of user requirements

Goals for the 1st step in 2011 – federal level

� which spatial data products are currently used?

� which spatial data is additionally needed/required?

− in what priority (immediately?, in due course? long-term?)?

− in which way (online: web services, offline: DVD,D)?

− by whom?

� The survey has been established as a continuous task on the federal level

and will be updated yearly starting in 2011.

� It will be extended to the state and municipality level by the respective

administrations.

Cooperation between BKG and the Federal Statistical Office

� Federal Statistical Office responsible for the technical infrastructure

� BKG responsible for the analysis and evaluation of the survey
