Geodata to GeoservicesDesign Issues for GI Infrastructures Josef Strobl Universität Salzburg Austrian Umbrella Organisation for Geographic Information - AGEO
Data etc Data etc Look at the complete picture … GI infrastructures are not ‚just‘ a • technical or • organisational or • business or • conceptual or • people … problem, but all of these and then some! • 10 Building Blocks for SDI‘s!
Standards • … of course, that‘s why we there are many of them • OGC • ISO • CEN • national and industry standards 1
Interoperability • Based on (technical) connectivity • Implemented as (web) services • Concepts, Architectures, Standards • Languages like GML • ORGANISATIONAL and PEOPLE interop.!! 2
Business Model • Web Services require a distributed, ‚incremental‘ business model based on • Value Added per service • Differential pricing schemes result, depending on different value added • From Value Chain to Value Web! 3
Service Level • Different levels of • Quality / Completeness / Scale • Currentness • Availability • Performance / Throughput • Emergency Services Access 4
Workflow / process models • GII‘s cannot well be defined as collections, but rather as requirements from workflow analysis • „Same“ item in different workflows can have very different requirements – more than one model (or view) of an aspect of reality! • Organisationally and socially integrated! 5
Metadata • Describing suitability, fitness-for-use • Search domain for catalog services • Profiles are still a research topic! • Further, ongoing development needed … 6 File Format File Format Data
‚Active Catalog‘ Services • From centralized to distributed cataloging • Catalog interoperability – independence from entry point into search space • Search engines with ‚centrifugal‘ sorting 7
geo - Integration • Instead of separate geodata, we want to enable ‚geo-views‘ onto „all“ data • no ‚geodata‘, but ‚geospatially enabled data sets‘ or ‚…services‘ • Geo-IT as an integral part of IT! 8
Integrated LBS • LBS components as part of many devices (clients) and services, automatically generating position-focused responses • geoCommunication – generating ad-hoc communities 9
‚real world‘ Geoinformation • … as opposed to stored representations, data models. • position encoding in facility infrastructure elements like stations, switches … • ‚Live GIS‘ – operating directly on critical infrastructure! 10
„Thinking Spatially“ • Awareness • Education • Practice
