Digital tribes

• Verticals - line ministries, scientific domains, application domains• Silos and stovepipes• Everything happens somewhere• Geospatial community: “Collection of people who …. share a

common (digital geographic information) language and common (spatial feature) definitions” (OGC Inc.)

• Interoperability – systems and organisations talk to each other • Syntactic - exchange data – common formats protocols• Semantic - interpret information – models and vocabs• Standards development – ISO, OGC, W3C

Spatial Information Infrastructures

• Socio-technical infrastructure • Institutional - policy, standards, people, practices• Technical - information, software, hardware• Information• Government-led, authoritative information• Web & standards based • Discover & download• YAP

Key enablers – Openness

• Open data• Open standards• Open source• Open Government

• Innovating• Adopt and adapt• Working with the crowd• A legislative framework

Building Information Communities | Paul Box 17 |

Innovation – handling the social dimension

• Leveraging existing infrastructure• Evolution not revolution

• Data providers – no change underlying business process/systems • Data Users – continue to use preferred data • Convergence • The power of the crowd

Building Information Communities | Paul Box 18 |

• Spatial identifiers common reference • SIRF – community infrastructure to links information resource• Understand and leverage socio-political context • Technology to support and encourage the right behaviors • ‘Thinking outside the polygon’
