  1. FP-5 Cross Programme Action line New Geographic Information Society. Yves Reginster GI consultant - GERE SA

  2. The context • FP-5 - IST • Cross-Programme activity • Cross-programme themes are the most practical manifestations of both the integrated nature of the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme and of the underlying convergence of information processing, communications and media 2

  3. The sources • A strategic view of GIS research and technology development for Europe • 5 FP - Proposed GI RTD activities in IST • GISDATA documents • US documents from NSF, UCGIS, … 3

  4. The challenges (1) • GI share Information Society challenges • EU policy have impact on the territory • The accessing countries have to build their infrastructure • The need for mastering information: the Kosovo example • The need for geographic information infrastructure 4

  5. The challenges (2) • GI is a mixed economy • interaction between public and private sector • need to better understand GI economy • Increasing need for timely and accurate information for decision process • The number of GI databases increases dramatically, but not the knowledge 5

  6. The challenges (3) • GI is cross-discipline • All disciplines face common problems • Needs for a common solution 6

  7. Definition of EGII • EGII: European Geographic Information Infrastructure • It is not an isolated approach • Europe should be the last • EGII is based on several components 7

  8. EGII components • Political - legal • funding • regulations • Technical infrastructure • reference data, standards, interoperability • Organisation, a platform • How do we organise GI in Europe? • Research • what are priorities, specificities? 8

  9. CPA 5: New Geographic information society • A European plan for research to face the European challenge, integrating GI into the Information Society • “To contribute to the establishment of a European Geographic Information Infrastructure based on a large scale, heterogeneous and distributed collection of geo-spatial data and services” 9

  10. GI system engineering • focus on new models, metaphor, concepts and use of technology, including GNSS, should promote the general accessibility, usability and acceptability of GI 10

  11. socio-economics and political aspects of GI • Work should also cover legal and ownership issues 11

  12. applications • Technology testbeds, and full-scale demonstrations • Trials on robustness and stability of GI-based systems, • development of new interface paradigms, • creation of enduring information environments for real-world problem solving • the involvement of large user groups. 12

  13. 4 main research domains • GI systems engineering • data visualisation and management tools • spatial analysis, DSS • Socio-economic and political aspects 13

  14. Part 2: links with other KA • GI tools, techniques, methods to support other KA • A common solution for common problems 14

  15. GI systems engineering • methods and tools - theoretical background • concept, interoperability • to integrate GI into IT • data generalisation 15

  16. Data visualisation and management tools • data integration • indexing technologies • large scale databases • Data warehousing • Data mining technologies • Focus to non-expert users • Real time data access 16

  17. Spatial analysis - DSS • focus on application • Demonstration projects 17

  18. Socio-economy - political aspects • opportunities to better understand interaction between sectoral and regional policies • to better understand GI market economy • to assess needs for awareness and training • to assess the impact of new technologies 18
