GSDI 11 World Conference 2009, Rotterdam Workshop 3.4 Lessons Learned and Best Practices from GI-SDI Projects: Examples of eContentplus ProjectsPart 1: The eContentplus Programme and the eSDI-Net+ Network eSDI-Net+European Network on Geographic Information Enrichment and Reuse Coordinator Dr. Joachim Rix INI-GraphicsNet StiftungRundeturmstr. 1064283 DarmstadtTel.: +49 (6151) 155-128Fax.: +49 (6151) 155-599Email: joachim.rix@inigraphics.nethttp://www.inigraphics.net June 15, 2009

  2. eSDI-Net+ Network for promotion of cross border dialogue and exchange of best practices on Spatial Data Infrastructures(SDI’s) throughout Europe Establishment of a Thematic Network funded withinthe eContentplus programme of the European Commission ECP-2006-GEO-320005

  3. Why eSDI-Net+? Obstacles SDI’s have to face: • Technological Barriers(Lack of Reusability and Clustered Data) • Organisational Barriers(Fragmentation and Lack of Harmonisation and Interoperability) • Legal Barriers • Cultural and Linguistic Barriers

  4. Analysis of demand • Public sector organisations: need to define clear data exchange policies to disseminate their information • European Bodies: need for the enforcement and validation of standards in Member States • European GI Agencies: need for standardised solutions in order to create a shared base cartography • Technological enterprises: need to increase their knowledge in GI standardisation • GI Research Community: need for better defined specifications in order to collaborate in Pan-European research and training projects • Consumers: simple search, access and viewing of geographical data in standard formats

  5. Objectives of eSDI-Net+ • To establish a Thematic Network as platform for communication and exchange among stakeholders involved in the creation and use of SDI`s • To bring together potential SDI stakeholders in order to increase awareness and to facilitate the creation of - guidelines - standards - best practices • To establish communication mechanisms between European and local levels to maximize benefits of INSPIRE, GMES, GALILEO and e-government programmes • To develop solutions for multicultural and multilingual access, exploitation, use, and reuse of digital GI content in Europe

  6. Thematic Network – Initial Partners Geographic coverage Organisations from 15 European countries from the different regions in Europe Involvement of Stakeholders • Providers of digital geographical data (local, national and regional public authorities, private organisations and institutions) • Users of digital geographical data (research institutes, universities, software manufacturers) • National and international GI umbrella Associations • Consultancy and Network Management

  8. Related initiatives and projects – current status of collaboration

  9. Aspects relating to standards, dissemination of information and exploitation of the results • INSPIRE • JRC + EuroGeographics at the Advisory Board • Partners are represented in INSPIRE committees • Related projects in the INSPIRE context • Workshop and GSDI Conference • OGC: bilateral meetings took place • GALILEO and ESA: establishment of contact envisaged • Industry: INGR partner; ESRI in Advisory Board; participate in project events and workshops • Dissemination & Awareness building • Exploitation and Network Sustainability

  10. Work packages Sustainability strategy WP1Network Establishment, Administrationand Enlargement WP3Best Practices Showcase WP5Project Assessmentand Sustainability Evaluated best practices Strategy, goals, conditions Identified best practices Dissemination strategy and material Information exchange on existing SDIs WP2Identificationand Analysisof Best Practices WP4Awareness and Dissemination List of common assessment parameters

  11. Goals of the regional activities • Objective: Identify and document relevant existing local, regional and national SDI initiatives Determine common problems and good practice solutions Focus on Sub-national SDI • Outcomes: Evaluate and document possible integration of good practices Identify best practice solutions on existing SDI • Target: INSPIRE, GMES and GALILEO; e-communities, e-government clusters and stakeholders

  12. 1. Identification of existing SDI solutions in the region 2. Address the existing SDI solutions 3. Pre-selection of promising SDI solutions 4. Personal interview with the SDI managers 5. Analysis of SDI solutions based on the evaluation framework 6. Evaluation of SDI solutions in each category 7. Involvement of EUROGI members 8. Promotion of best SDI solutions on national workshops Procedure to identify and analyse best practices

  13. Regional and national SDI workshops Identification and Preparation Questionnaires and Interviews Assessment and Selection Workshop Report Recommendation of Best Practices for the Award In Summary: 12 Workshops 26 Countries 170 Cases identified

  14. Available results • Established Network • Annual Report 2008 • Documentation of identified problems and good practices at local, regional and national levels (D2.2-2) • SDI Best practice data base • Data base of project stakeholders

  15. Methodology and Processto identify Best practices Francois Salge

  16. Discussion and Conclusion-Next Steps

  17. SDI Best Practice Award 2009 – GET INVOLVED! Date: November 26 – 27, 2009 Place: Turin, Italy SDIs are welcome to submit their applications untilJuly 17, 2009 Evaluation criteria (5 criteria and 32 indicators): • Quantitative aspects • Data and services quality • Co-operation and subsidiarity • Sustainability • Users and usability

  18. SDI Best Practice Award 2009 SDIs selected/awarded will be given a wider visibility to the community • Visibility during the Conference in Turin • Visibility through online announcement • Local workshops • to transfer the experiences and • the lessons to learn (from others results andexperiences)

  19. Establishment of sustainable network • Extension of the consortium • Building the network • Identification of persons and organizations interested in collaboration • Organizational body for sustainable network and decision on legal entity
