the Nordic Grid ProjectWebsite and community • Outline • summing up the process so far • Nordic Grid perspectives • status – the Nordic Grid Portal and community • case – make use of the community • towards a pan-European grid • future steps
the Nordic Grid Projectwhat is now this? • Summing up • why are we here? • being a private company, what can we offer? • GEOMATIC – centre of Geoinformatics • adviser and external sparring partner of Statistics Denmark • specialized in grid-based analytics • PhD research ongoing at GEOMATIC • the Nordic Grid Project – a ongoing project • since 1997 (Tandem II among others) • lentement, mais sûrement
Nordic Grid perspectivesUnified, comparable and useful data • Previous conclusions: there is a need for a NG • Tandem II and other excellent works stated that • unified platform for gathering and dissemenation of statistical data • (still) needs for common disclosure policy, specifications and formal agreements • New perspectives • what is yet to be considered? • a user and stakeholder forum • a mutual openness • a market that is opening and highly interested
Status of the NGP communityThe website will be the place to meet
Make use of the communityA prospective workspace • Specifications to be discussed and formulated • NSIs and the NMAs can use a ’restricted area’ on the NGP site as long as the material is regarded confidential – with publication afterwards or not at all • Common disclosure policy/handling of sensitive data is a great challenge • critical question that will enable, if solved, a comparison on a different level • without a doubt it implies more than just this one thing (data protection? Modification of laws? Changing of constitution?)
Towards a pan-European gridPerspectives and pending activities • From national via Nordic towards European solutions • different scales, same considerations and solutions • a need for active participation from the NSIs and NMAs in a future unification and specification • making the Nordic Grid Project a European standard • Interested parties • Eurostat, JRC, IES • pending talks about the perspectives of using the NGP website as showroom and meeting point
Future stepsWhat to do next – and who to do it? • a Nordic Grid community • private and public actors in unison • GEOMATIC regards cooperation to be the right way • GEOMATIC will participate due to own interests and activitites • NMAs and NSIs should be the responsible parties behind specifications, technical solutions, products and so forth • we are open towards constructive debate
Let’s get to it! … and please feel free to make use (very soon) of the www.nordicgrid.info
