Land Information Ontario

• Program developed to coordinate geospatial
  activities across Ontario

Ontarios Land Information is well-managed,
accessible, integratable, and affordable

Thematic Data
5
Data Administration

• Data Standards - stakeholder based approach to
  development of comprehensive data standards
• Data Management - initiation of cooperative
  approaches to data collection maintenance
  access planning sharing integration etc.
• Data Partnerships - Provides a forum to identify
  common data needs and facilitate partnerships
  between all levels of public and private sector
  organizations

6
Planning Goals

• Data should be integrated both horizontally and
  vertically across jurisdictions, to reduce
  duplication of effort and to promote the concept
  of collect once, used by many.
• Data should be maintained closest to source
• Establish accountability for long-term management
  of key sector data assets
• Facilitate improved and integrated planning
  around land information activities

Sharing Data
The Ontario Geospatial Data Exchange (OGDE)

Long Term Strategies

• Development of other Exchange groups
• Forestry Exchange - implemented
• Water Power Exchange - implemented
• Utilities/Infrastructure
• Private Sector Exchange
• Looking at collaboration opportunities with other
  provinces (Quebec/Manitoba/British Columbia and
  Saskatchewan)
• Working extensively with the IJC and GLC
• Looking to develop partnerships with public
  sector organizations across the USA, particularly
  States around the Great Lakes (New York,
  Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
  Wisconsin, Minnesota) and Federal (EPA, FW, USGS
  etc.)

Ontario Quick Bird Project
Project Overview

• Image Requirements
• Source Protection Planning legislation requires
  current and accurate mapping to be completed
  across the province
• Conservation Authorities and the Water Resource
  Information Project are taking the lead to ensure
  that source water is protected throughout Ontario
• A Technical Working Group was formed to identify
  data gaps across the province current and
  accurate land use information was recognized as
  one of the major data gaps for source water
  protection planning

17
Ontario Quick Bird Project
Project Overview

• Image Requirements contd
• Detailed analysis of current data holdings across
  the province identified large areas where no
  imagery was available
• Quick Bird satellite imagery was considered to
  offer the most detailed imagery at the most
  effective price
• A project was put in place in March to capture
  approximately 125,000 sq km of imagery
• Anticipated completion in 2007

18
QuickBird Satellite Imagery

• Satellite Owned by Digital Globe
• Launched 2001
• Products include
• 60 cm panchromatic
• 2.4 M multi-spectral (B/G/R/IR)
• Scene size 16.5 km2 swath (272 sq km/scene)

Ontario QuickBird Project

• Funding
• Cost 19.25 per sq km
• Signed Contract for 2.2 Million
• Funding commitments obtained primarily from
  Provincial Ministries for a wide variety of
  business purposes
• Multi user licenses established for broad use
  across the public sector (Federal, Provincial,
  Municipal, Conservation Authorities, others)
• Able to display images over the internet raw
  data not downloadable

23
South Western Ontario Orthophotography Project
(SWOOP)

• Project initiated out of Sarnia/Lambton to
  capture updated, high resolution orthophotography
  
• Development of funding partnerships expanded
  beyond Sarnia/Lambton
• Evolved to large project area, encompassing all
  of south western Ontario 40,000 sq km

Future Opportunities for Partnerships

• Development of a strategic, coordinated,
  partnership funding approach to high cost data
  acquisition products through LIO
• Cost effective method of obtaining current and
  accurate high resolution data
• Imagery updates
• Highly developed municipalities currently on a
  three year update cycle
• Rural municipalities looking at 5 year update
  intervals
• Need to consider products leaf on/off, DEM

32
Future Challenges

• Extremely large storage requirements
• Data Distribution
• Need to develop coordinated and centralized
  storage capacity
• Compression utilities need to be effective and
