  1. Evolution of the Canadian GeospatialData Infrastructure (CGDI) B. McLeod CCRS

  2. Overview • CGDI Concepts/Vision • Current situation • Evolution

  3. Applications Applications Applications Consumers Providers Providers Data CGDI Services Data Services Data Services CGDI vision CGDI will enable geospatial applications with online data and services e.g.• Sustainable Development• Transportation Planning• Climate Change Monitoring• Disaster Response• Site Assessment• Infrastructure Portal ... e.g.• Transformation• Analysis• Visualization • Location-based ... e.g.• Features• Coverages• Projects, Studies, Activities• Events, Situations ... Consumers will be able to access many kinds of geospatial capabilities .

  4. Federal Govt Agencies Municipal Govt Agencies Provincial Govt Agencies Utilities Others Academia CGDI Private Companies Autonomous Interdependent Organizations CGDI will enable organizations to remain autonomous while working together Autonomousorganizations ... … that are interdependent .

  5. Applications Data Services Data Services Applications Applications CGDI Services Data Data Services Applications Distributed Applications, Data, Services CGDI will enable distributed applications, data and services .

  6. AltaLIS LDBC MGDI LIO Data Data Data CGDI OtherCanadianSDIs Services Partnerships throughout Canada CGDI will facilitate partnerships to build a Canadian Infrastructure Applications Applications Consumers Providers Providers A greater range of geospatial information will be available to Consumers .

  7. European GII U.S.NSDI GlobalSDI OtherSDI AustralianSDI CGDI Global Participation CGDI will join with other National SDIs to form a global SDI Canadian information providers will have access to global markets .

  8. Common Geospatial Framework Data CGDI will make Framework Data available to all GeodeticReference Topography Hydrology Road Networks AdministrativeBoundaries GeographicNames ElectoralUnits CensusUnits PostalAddresses Online Framework Data will make discovery and spatial integration easier .

  9. InformationStandards Others InternationalStandardsOrganization Open GIS Consortium defining Common Data Types Common Interfaces • Features• Coverages• Spatial Reference Systems • Projects, Studies, Activities• Events, Situations ... • Discovery• Access• Update• Transformation• Visualization ... Adherence to Common Open Standards CGDI will adhere to common open information standards Standards adherence will result in interoperable, marketable components .

  10. Earth Observation Provincial Forestry Marine Data Data Data OtherCanadianSDIs Services Current situation – interoperable discovery services Applications CGDI Interoperable discovery services .

  11. Current situation - standards CGDI recommended services and related specifications: • Geodata discovery service (OGC Catalogue service, Z39.50 profile) • Web Map Service (OGC WMS) • Web Feature Service (OGC WFS) • Geographic Markup Language (OGC GML) • ISO content standard for geospatial metadata (ISO 19115 DIS)

  12. Earth Observation Provincial Forestry Marine Interoperable discovery services Data Data Data OtherCanadianSDIs Development network Services Development network Applications .

  13. Development network CGDI development network • “Pre-operational” environment for interoperability testing of “new” services • Extend CGDI service interoperability “beyond discovery” • Field-testing of CGDI architecture specifications&implementations • Mature services contribute to the “operational” CGDI • Environment for developing “CGDI-enabled” applications • Benefit to vendors – marketing, showcase • Benefit to new service/application providers • infrastructure “in action”, without full operational commitment • Driven by “information community” requirements, use cases • Direct tie into GeoConnections infrastructure-building programs • Leverage related initatives: OGC testbeds, pilot projects; WGISS test facility; etc.

  14. Development network - partnerships FEDERAL • Agriculture Canada • Department of National Defence • Environment Canada • Department of Fisheries and Oceans • Natural Resources Canada • CCRS/GeoConnections • National Forest Information System • Geological Survey of Canada • Centre for Topographic Information • future: Health Canada; Statistics Canada

  15. Development network - partnerships PROVINCIAL • British Columbia • Ontario • Newfoundland • future: Alberta, Quebec, other

  16. Development network - partnerships PRIVATE SECTOR • Compusult • Cubewerx • Galdos • Information Interoperability Institute • MDA • future: Autodesk, Caris, ESRI, PCI, other

  17. Reference Architecture, Standards, Open Specifications, Today -- nucleus for CGDI Design 2 years -- core CGDI 5 years -- self-sustaining CGDI 10 years -- ubiquitous CGDI Build Components Applications Integrate Prepare Data Evolution 1. Establish a CGDI nucleus 2. Incrementally build up by pursuing opportunities along several fronts 3. Follow a spiral development approach Analyze .
