Goal and Mission To Supply Geo-Information and- Application Services via the Internet as Integrated and Embedded part of any websites.Through Fixed and Mobile connections these Services can be delivered any Time, any Place and for Everybody.
The GeoPortal Solution • From concept to Solution • Using webservices technics • 3 Solution businessmodels: • Traditional project; • Outsourcing model; • ASP-model. • GeoPortal Services….
Geo-Apps Services Geo-Data Services Education Services GeoPortal Basis IT-infrastructuur De GeoPortal Services Project Solutions and Cases (Professional Services) GeoPortal Interface Services
GeoPortal Standards • WWW Consortium Standards • OGC Web Services (OWS) • Metadata Standards (CEN/ISO) • J2EE • Oracle 9iDB • Oracle 9iAS • Oracle 9i Spatial Option
GeoPortal, Wat is het? • Acces to GeoData and services: • Locate (find) GeoData • View GeoData • Use/Analyse Geodata • (Payment, access,…) • ……. • Integration of data!! Catalog Services WebMapping GeoServices
GeoPortal, Characteristics • Data en services at the source • Distributed environment • (Mobile) Internet as communication medium • OpenGIS as standard
GeoPortal remarks • Moving very fast towards a distributed geo service concept • GeoPortals: • Data is no longer ‘local’ • Geo Processing Resources (services) at a distance • Commerce will dominate the market? • Problem: • how to integrate information from different ‘Portals’ • Domination of sofware vendors? open standards • OpenGIS can help us! • Webmapping • Catalog services

AST vision • The architecture envisioned by AST deploys interoperable services that will help to produce and publish, find and access, and eventually, use and understand geographic information over the internet across the European Union and Accession Countries at local, national, and European levels.
Methodology • Organisation model - shows the organisation’s goals, relationships (financial, economic, business) between public and private sector, and rules and policies • User model - identifies the types of users and defines user requirements • Process model - defines the abstract business objects that will be modelled and codified in the SDI system, their rules, and workflow • Architecture model - defines the SDI system components and the relationship between them (e.g., servers, their functionality, client applications, etc.) as well as their relationship to the different national and international standards and specifications (e.g. OpenGIS and ISO) • Implementation model - breaks down the architecture model into smaller components and defines the scope of the technology decisions, deployment platforms, building and reusing components, and performance and networking decisions
Current statusArchitecture model User applications Clients Access to transformed data, pictures, maps, reports, multi-media content Service chaining: search, display, access, e-commerce, …. Metadata search and retrieval for data and services Middleware Direct data access Geo-processing and catalog Services Catalogs Metadata update Other data e.g., administrative, statistical, env. reporting Content Repositories Servers Coverages Features Distributed Geographic reference data After the Digital Earth Reference Model
Current statusGeospatial processing services (notably catalog services)
NCGI History • Phase 0: Ravi Initiativemarch 1995 • Phase 1: Idefix - pilot mid 1997 • Phase 2: NCGI official start early 1998 • Phase 3: NCGI version 1.1 end 2000 • Redesign website • Pilot WebMapping • Distributed information (nodes at the source) • Status report early 2001 • 13 data suppliers with approx. 1500 geodatasets • Many technical and organizational problems encountered • Financial future uncertain (governmental grant only 4 years)
Motivation for the continuation of NCGI • Infrastructuur NCGI is OK -> ready for use • In future focus onexploitationof the infrastructure and on users • Quality and transparency via NCGI garanteed: • Openess, uses available standards, Security issues,… • G-to-G discussionwithin government • G-to-P discussion ‘not in my backyard’ • International geo-issues: • High water, industrial air pollution, mouth disease,…… • New Inspiration from GSDI, GINIE, INSPIRE initiatives • HOW to continue ???
Public Private PartnershipNCGI – Geodan (phase 4) • Agreement signed end June 2001 • Starting 1 July 2001: • NCGI Foundation remains owner • Geodan responsible for exploitation and maintenance • Main task of the Foundation: • Watching over, and Monitoring, the mission and goals of the foundation • PPP construction used frequently in Netherlands • GBKN : Large Scale BaseMap • IntWIS : Integral Water Information System • KLIC : Cable and Pipe Information Centre (call before you dig) • Sherpa : GeoIT fundament for Nationwide security (homeland)

Missionand Goal: NCGI New Generation • Mission NCGI: • The NCGI aims at the exploitationand maintenance of an geo-platform for quick and cost effective publishing and usinggeo-datasets and geo-infrastructure servicesfor the purpose dissimination of geo-information within and between state, regional and local government and to the general public. • Goal NCGI: • To run a economic profitable NCGI infrastructure within the boundaries of the mission. The infrastructure may be used to supply (meta)datasets or may be used for a quick start for projects with high priority or can be used to publish ongoing thematic geo-related information to the public and/or government.
