OSI GIS solution flowchart

by phases: During the OSI, as per Treaty provisions, there are four (4) phases: Launch Phase, Pre-Inspection Phase, Inspection Phase and Post-Inspection Phase. These phases are slightly changed in order to fit with OSI GIS solution workflow:

ABSTRACT: During the Launch phase of the OSI, immediately initiated after Inspection Request has been received, core Inspection Team will need to develop an Initial Inspection Plan and, a need of appropriate tool with access to necessary map libraries represents an essential part of the GIS solution. Data collected during the Inspection Phase of the OSI, using all 17 different techniques as listed in the CTBT Protocol, should be geo-referenced to allow spatial analysis. Different techniques and huge amount of data arriving every day place in front of the IT a big challenge related to systematic analysis and visualization of data and results. The GIS techniques should synergistically provide a direction for further steps during the Inspection. Specific confidentiality and security measures should be implemented in order to protect the IT activities as well as national interests of the Inspected State Party. At the end of the OSI, GIS solution should have capabilities to provide integrated pictographic results and images/maps in order to ease the preparation of the Preliminary Finding Document. All mentioned requirements resulted in highly sophisticated and technologically advanced OSI specific GIS developed for the purpose of the efficient operations during OSI missions.

[1] Trigger Event

Seismic detection is associated to a Longitude and

Latitude coordinate and estimate of confidence

ellipse of effect.

[2] Query Data Worldwide

Search and extract data for Inspection Area from

CTBTO data stores, as well as public open data on

the internet using VOYAGER technology.

[3] Generate Report Content

Compile basemap showing key event locations for

input to preliminary analysis report.

[4] Go or No-Go Decision by the Executive Council

[5] Clip Data to Hard Disc

Data from worldwide sources is clipped to

Inspection Area (IA) extent (using VOYAGER

technology) and copied to a portable hard disc.

Additional National Technical means (NTM) data

may be provided

[6] Provision GIS System

Data, workflows, applications, portals, and group

administrative definitions are loaded onto rugged

server system.

[7] Mirror Data and System

Data and system components are copied to

portable hard disc for transport first to the Point of

Entry (POE) and then into Inspection Area (IA)

Base of Operations (BOO).

[8] Receive Field Data in Receiving Area (RA)

Data from field collection is received and inspected.

[9] Transfer to Working Area (WA)

Approved data from Review Area is carried on

portable disc into Working Area.

[10] Load Field Data

Data from Integrated Information Management

System (IIMS), on portable hard disc, is loaded into

work area server system.

[11] Transfer Route Plans

Route plans for the next day are written to portable

hard disc, for transfer into the Review Area and

then to field instruments.

[12] Close out the OSI

Data is saved to a final storage device for archive.

A Preliminary Finding Document (PFD) is

generated, including maps as needed.

An inventory of all GIS data layers is produced.
