2b. SDI Implementation
I
Open geospatial software, standards &data underpin our services
§ Authentication: Shibboleth§ OSS: Apache, PostGres/GIS, etc..§ Open Libraries: Spring framework/JQuery§ OGC: WMS; WFS; WTS; WCS; WPS§ Metadata: AGMAP/ UK Gemini 2.1§ UK Open data § OSM & open global gazetteers§ But also, licensed data providers too

3a. Why the academic SDI matters
I
§ National SDI supports ecosystem development
§ Promotes discoverability & access, with focus on sectoral user needs
§ Key SM expertise developed§ Standards based§ Cost base (& role of Open)§ Support/Enhance research & teaching§ Eliminates duplication at institutional
level (data, infrastructure, licence)
Principal motivations & benefits:

3b. Why the academic SDI matters
I
Principal Barriers:
§ Access to (some) services (subscriptions)§ Licensing requirements (cost/feasibility)§ Funding constraints§ Open technology - TRLs / maturity§ Effective monitoring - Open services§ Open demands new business models
