Digital Norway - Inspire (EU SDI) - sharing a Vision

Data should be collected once and maintained at the level where this can be done most effectively

it should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different sources and share it between many users and applications

it should be possible for information collected at one level to be shared between all the different levels, high resolution for detailed investigations, general for strategic purposes

Changelog

– FOR BENEFIT OF THE SOCIETY SPATIAL DATA

The lifetime of a technical implementation is shorter than the lifetime of the information it handles. This makes it necessary to describe the information in a way that allows for new techniques and implementation environments to be applied. We also know that many organisations often need data outside their jurisdictions or operational areas. When necessary information about the data and interfaces are described in a formal, implementation-independent model, it is easier to integrate distributed components and data sources with your own system.

PHASE 3 – PILOTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

includes piloting and deployment of technology specified and developed through Geosynchronization phase I og phase II. planned as parallel projects with separate economy (funded partially by the parties). The following pilots may be appropriate. Pilot 1 - Coastal Administration – Mapping Auth. (Geodata - Norconsult) (BarentsWatch) Pilot 2 - ”PlanSynk” – Municipalities – Mapping auth. (Norkart – Norconsult – Geodata) Pilot 3 - Roads - Road Administration – Mapping auth Pilot 4 - detailed topogr data Municipalities – Mapping auth. (Norkart – Norconsult) Pilot 5 - Land resources – Forest and Landscape Inst – Mapping auth. Scope of phase 3 is testing geosynchronization in actual use in a variety of cases and environments.

BENEFIT REALISATION

Infrastructurecomponent - A common component for synchronization of geographic information - important part of the NSDI Quick and qualified distribution of geographical information required for safe and reliable public administration, and for dataflow meeting the requirements of INSPIRE Standardization contributes to information sharing and reuse, thus extends the demand for and use of location based information Land register, and the municipal planning records are made available as updated public data sets by all the leading system suppliers and throughout the NSDI. Updated and reliable geodata release significant efficiency potential in the public administration Governmental initiative, quite unique arena of collaboration and confidence Governing the results through the NSDI Ease the exchange of geographic information across different systems and platforms Focusing on the use of GML and WFS-T, and contributing to general skills upgrading in the field

RISK ASSESSMENT – RISK FACTORS The GIS-providers’ committment Lack of their fully participation in the sprint-team (common

component will not be ready according to plan).

The GIS-providers choose different approach to deliver their synchronisation upgrades- Difficult to run the solutions by the firms wanting to synchronise between different software

Challenges

When you outsorce innovation-process to some ”spheric” area of

collaboration, all partners/owners must response to the requirements evolving from that area

Are the owners outsourcing still owners strong as before? How to organize and maintain the drives in a project when transformed

to running phase

Thank you for your attention - questions?
