Discussion

What are the components of an SDI?

What might be some core data sets?

Do SDIs have intrinsic value?

What geographic extent might an SDI

have?

What might be the final state of theSDI? Is there a final state?

Federal Geographic Data Committee

The FGDC is an interagency committee that promotes the coordinated

development, use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data on a

national basis.

Standards facilitate the development, sharing, and use of geospatial data.

The FGDC develops standards only when there are no equivalent externally

developed standards

The FGDC develops geospatial data standards for implementing the NSDI,

in consultation and cooperation with State, local, and tribal governments, the

private sector and academic community, and, to the extent feasible, the

international community.

Non-Federal representatives may provide technical input and comment on

FGDC standards


18/44


Information Systems The work of INCITS L1 consists

of adopting or adapting information technology standards

and developing standards used in creating, defining,

describing, and processing digital geographic data.

INCITS L1 is the means by which government agencies,

private companies, and professional organizations

participate in ISO and ANSI standardization activities forgeographic information.


19/44

INCITS L1 serves as the U.S. technical advisory group(TAG) to ISO Technical Committee 211 (ISO TC 211),Geographic information/Geomatics.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) hasaccredited The InterNational Committee for InformationTechnology Standards (INCITS) to develop standards forInformation and Communications Technologies (ICT).

INCITS comprises many technical committees, includingINCITS L1, which develop standards in specific topicareas of ICT.

22/44

ANSI is the U.S. member body of ISO, the

International Organization for Standardization

ANSI is a non-governmental organization

ANSI is not a standards development

organization; rather it accredits standards

developers, certification bodies, and technical

advisory groups (TAGs) to both ISO and the

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)


23/44

ANSI-accredited development organizations arefrequently trade associations: for example, the

Information Technology Information Council (ITIC) hosts

the INCITS Secretariat.

ANSIs other roles include Publishing notices of national adoption of standards and public

review of standards in theANSI Standards Action newsletter.

Reviewing final draft standards through its Board of Standards

Review (BSR)

Standards developed through ANSI-accredited organizations such

as ASTM International (formerly American Society for Testing and

Materials) are allowed to bypass the BSR, based on their extensive

history of standards development.


24/44

ISO (International Organization for

Standardization) is the world's largestdeveloperand publisher ofInternational

Standards.

ISO is a network of the national standardsinstitutes of162 countries, with a Central

Secretariat that coordinates the system:one country, one vote


25/44

ISO is an NGO that bridges the public and private sectors. Many

member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their

countries, or are mandated by their government. Others have their

roots in the private sector, having been set up by national

partnerships of industry associations.

ISO is not an acronym! It does not stand for InternationalStandardization Organization, as translations into different

languages would result in different acronyms. Whatever the country,

whatever the language, the short form of the organization's name is

always ISO.

ISO comprises many technical committees, the most relevant to us

being ISO Technical Committee 211, Geographic

information/Geomatics


26/44

Geographic information/Geomatics

infrastructure, brick by brick ...infrastructure, brick by brick ...


27/44

The goal of ISO/TC 211...... is to develop a family of international standards that will

support the understanding and usage of geographic information

increase the availability, access, integration, and sharing ofgeographic information

enable inter-operability of geospatially enabled computer systems

contribute to a unified approach to addressing global ecological andhumanitarian problems

ease the establishment ofspatial data infrastructures on local,regional and global level

contribute to sustainable development


28/44

Scope of ISO/TC 211

Standardization of digital geographic information.

This work aims to establish a structured set of standards for

information about objects or phenomena directlyorindirectly

associated with a location relative to the Earth.

These standards may specify methods, tools and services for datamanagement (including definition and description), acquiring,

processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting, and transferring data

in digital/electronic form between different users, systems and

locations.

These standards shall link to appropriate standards for information

technology and data wherever possible, and provide a framework

for the development of sector-specific applications using geographic

data.

OGC is an international consortium of vendors, contentproviders, integrators, other technology providers,government agencies and universities

OGC develops advanced open systems standards and

techniques in geoprocessing and related informationtechnologies.

OGC interface and encoding specifications enableinteroperability among diverse geospatial data stores,services, and applications.

OGC Vision

A world in which everyone benefits from geospatial information


37/44

Tenets

Geospatial information should be easy to find

Once found, geospatial information should be easy to access oracquire

Geospatial information from different sources should be easy to

integrate, combine, or use in spatial analyses Geospatial information from different sources should be easy to

register, superimpose, and render for display.

Special displays and visualizations should be easy to generate,even when many sources and types of data are involved.

It should be easy to incorporate into enterprise information systemsgeoprocessing resources from many software and contentproviders.
