What is a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)?

• It is an INFRASTRUCTURE that provides a basis
  for spatial data discovery, evaluation and
  application for Macro micro level planners,
  implementers, users and providers within all
  levels of government, the commercial sector, the
  non-profit sector, academia and by citizens in
  general.
• --The SDI Cookbook

Who needs access to coordinated geographic
information?

• Land Records Adjudication
• Disaster Management
• Transportation Management
• Water, gas electric planning
• Public Protection
• Defense
• Natural Resource Management
• Telecommunications Infrastructure
• Economic Development
• Civic Entrepreneurs
• Local Bodies

4
Components of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

• Policies Institutional Arrangements
  (governance, data privacy security, data
  sharing, cost recovery)
• People (training, professional development,
  cooperation, outreach)
• Data (digital base map, thematic, statistical,
  place names)
• Technology (hardware, software, networks,
  databases, technical implementation plans)

5
Why to build an SDI?

• Build data once and use it many times for many
  applications
• Integrate distributed providers of data
  Cooperative governance
• Location-based management
• Share costs of data creation and maintenance
• Support sustainable economic, social, and
  environmental development

6
Best practices

• Treat data as strategic, capital assets and
  public goods
• Collaborate and Coordinate
• Align roles, responsibilities and resources for
  data stewardship
• Organize Effective and Efficient Production and
  Stewardship of Data
• Pool and Leverage Investments

7
The outcomes of an NSDI

• The participant members (contributors and users)
  are known and can interact
• Core and specialized map and data services are
  easily discoverable and accessible
• Decision-makers and analysts have ready access to
  the right geo-information for input to analytical
  and visual models indicators, models, trends,
  patterns

8
Creating the motivation

• Development of an SDI should be a voluntary and
  have long-term vision
• Government roles may require both incentives and
  directives
• Commercial and non-commercial participants
  should find SDI appealing as a market
• The correct solution for NSDI must be defined by
  the community

NSDI Clearinghouse

• Supports uniform, distributed search through a
  single user interface to all domestic metadata
  collections to find data and maps
• A free advertising mechanism to provide world
  access to your holdings under the principle of
  truth-in-labeling
• Search for spatial data through fields and
  full-text in the metadata and categorical
  browsing
• Links through to full data access and online web
  mapping services, where available

Future directions-ConvergenceGeoICT

• A basic building block for E-Government
• Shall focus on the use and re-use of data and
  services between government (G2G) and the citizen
  (G2C)
• Involves all sectors (Central, state, local
  government, academia, commercial)
