Some Implementations

INSPIRE in Northern Ireland

Luxembourg

“ArcGIS for INSPIRE allowed us to implement the

view and download services necessary with the least

possible effort. Without this solution, we might not

have met our deadline.”

Implementing an INSPIRE Node

What is so challenging about INSPIRE

• INSPIRE is Demanding

- Many Complex Specifications

- Metadata

- Data specifications

- Web services

- Long term commitment

- Strict Conformance Requirements

- Strict Quality of Service Requirements

• INSPIRE is

- Driving geospatially enabling the information society

- Core pillar of the geospatial information society

- Prerequisite to add geospatial to eGovernment

processes

ArcGIS for INSPIRE is a Complete Solution

• Create INSPIRE compliant datasets using the

geodatabase templates for INSPIRE Annex data

themes

• Manage INSPIRE Data

• Create and publish INSPIRE Metadata

• Author INSPIRE Services

• Deploy INSPIRE View & Feature Download Services

• Create and federate INSPIRE Discovery Services

• Discover and consume INSPIRE resources

• Multilingual aspects

Create and Publish Metadata

1. Create INSPIRE metadata by using the desktop editor or the

Geoportal Web editor

2. Publish metadata from desktop to Geoportal with publish tool

Discover and Consume INSPIRE Resources

ArcGIS for INSPIRE Implementation Pattern

1. Integration into business processes and transformation of data to INSPIRE

Existing information/ storage systems

ArcGIS for INSPIRE Data models and web services

Consumers

3. Delivery via INSPIRE network services

2. Data repository for spatial data sets optimized for INSPIRE data specifications

Extending the reach

Focus on Using SDI

• Who ARE the users?

- GIS Professionals

- Subject Matter Experts

- New Media Editors

- Policy advisors

- Executives

- Developers

• What do they NEED?

- Information Products

- Maps

- Data

- C#, Java, .NET, PHP

SDI Users Face Additional Challenges

• No Access to servers

• No Access to GIS tools

• Not a Desktop User

• Need a Quick Map, Not Data

• Answering Questions Quickly

• Outsource Everything

• The economy…

SDI is for Everyone

An Intuitive Platform For Sharing, Discovery, Access and Use

Subject Matter Experts

Executives

Policy

Makers

New Media Editors

GIS Professionals

Web Maps are a Medium for Information Products

Integrating Services (Data, Maps, Models…)

• High quality mapping

• Pop-ups, charts, and graphs

• Live links to web services

• Temporal data (trend data)

• Spreadsheets and map data

• User annotation and sketching

• Spatial analysis

• Embedding in other applications

Information Products Require Good Design

• Understanding Issues

• Appropriate Data

• Analysis & Manipulation

. . . And A Compelling Graphic Design

Good Information Products Are Timely

Tsunami Forecast

Good Information Products Disseminate Knowledge

Fukushima Radiation Exposure

Good Information Products Communicate Importance

Suitability For Conservation

Good Information Products Support Decision Making

Wind Turbine Suitability

Hydrocarbons

Good Information Products Show Status

Government Expenditures vs. Need

World Bank Projects

Haiti AID Funding

Good Information Products Illustrate Change

Urbanization – Landsat

Sedimentation

Temperature

So What Now?

• From building to using SDIs

- SDI revisited

- Focus on information products

- Built around the concept of a webmap

- Ubiquitous access to content

- Hosted Services in the cloud
