Contents • About Production Model and a new data base structure • GIS in the new environment • Modelling GIS and statistical attribute data • Examples • Benefits and summary
Production model of ‘Census’ statistics • Downsizing of processes in IBM mainframe • modernising production of statistics • integrating digital map data, locations of statistical entities and attribute data together in the same environment • statistics are produced in the old and new environment and results are compared
Data Base Architecture of ‘Census’ data Register Data GIS Data Base Others Meta Data Electronically collected data Data Ware House Production Data base Superstar User Interface, SAS,SQL User Interface, SAS SQL
Spatial database is a data base containing digital map data and location data, Also called: geodatabase or GIS database Spatial database is a logical concept, physically data is in more than one SQL Server-database. Geometry is administrated by ArcSDE-product
Spatial data production and use Map data, locations of statistical data as spatial data types Micro- and macro-data
Spatial Modelling of database • GMF : General Feature Model (Application Schema ISO 19109) • GML : Geographic Markup Language (ISO 19136, OGC) • GMF:n XML-implementation • Finnish recommendations, work ongoing • ESRI’s Geodatabase
Current Contents of the Geodatabase • In production: • Maintenance of buildings (as points) • Use of Municipal boundaries in different scales • Updating Sub-areas of municipalities • Using Grid nets of 1*1 km and 250*250 km together with aggregated grid data • Testing • Postal code areas • Localities • ...
Digital map data Building_id Co-ordinates Sub-area code Locality code Municipality code Geometry:Point Point in polygon- method Common use of statistical entities and map data
Benefits of using spatial database • Commonly used database • Statistical attribute data in the same environment • Maintenance in one place • Processed will be simplified • Quality will be better • More possibilities • Administration of large data is better
Summary Central spatial database is a part of spatial infrastructure and is one of the most important clue in GIS-strategy of Statistic Finland => Harmonised data sets to common use
