1. Libyan Spatial Data Infrastructure - ExistingSituation & Future Vision Thursday October 3rd 2013 / CorintiaHotel, Tripoli - Libya NSDI EXPERIENCES AND FEEDBACK • Christophe DEKEYNE - International DevelopmentDirector

2. PRESENTATION SUMMARY • 1- What is an NSDI? • 2- Why implement an NSDI? • 3- NSDI – What’s in? • Reference data • Thematic data • 4- Main difficulties • Description • Recommendations • 6- Some examples • Technical assistance for the creation of an NSDI in Serbia • GeomaticNational Plan in Gabon • 7- Situation in Libya • Actors, data & project • Tentative Road map

3. 1- Definition & perimeter (1/2) A National Spatial Data Infrastructure can be regarded as a set of technologies, policies, standards and human resources necessary to: - acquire, - process, - distribute, - use, - exploit, - conserve, - preserve a government’s geospatial data

4. 1- Definition & perimeter (2/2)  By extension, the term NSDI covers all processes of implementation and the promotion of the use and the sharing of the geographic data at all levels of government, public or private sectors or the academic sector of a government: Organisation Methods/ Good practices Training…  The set of actions that constitute an NSDI as well as those of the implementation of it’s optimised usage at all levels is often referred to as a National Geomatic Plan

5. Distribution - Services • Cataloguing • Geo portal • Web Services 2- Main components Data/Metadata • Specifications • Production • Updates Legal aspects • Norms/Standards • Decrees

6. Why create an NSDI? • 1- To optimise the use of geographic information • By structuring and standardising the methods and techniques used to constitute reference data2- To have access to spatial data and share them • To be able to find the spatial data that we need via metadata searches • 3- To improve the decision process and thus improve the quality of the services provided by the government • Between different public organisations (Transportation, Development, Environment, Agriculture, Health, Education, Economy, …) • Between those working in the public and private sectors

7. Summary: NSDI, a response to global needs Improve good governance and the competitivity of governments • Improved competitiveness for government services (rationalisation of expenses or investments) • Creation/improvement of decision-support tools • Development of new markets (maintenance of data, geoservices), employment support Create an environment conducive to sharing and the use of data • Definition of rules for the sharing of information • Creation of platforms for exchanges and information between local authorities, institutions and the private sector • Clearly defined rules for updating (Who does what?) • Definition of reference databases, production of missing data, improvement of existing data • Harmonisation of data (structures, formats) • Definition of updating methodologies Improve the quality of geographic data

15. 4- MAIN DIFFICULTIES

16. 1- Main difficulties of leading NSDI project  The projects can be long, ambitious and necessitate a lot of resources

17. Main difficulties of leading NSDI projects (1) Difficulty  : the lack of information concerning the informations that is actually available. Difficulty  : ignorance within governments as to what an NSDI is No matter what the country, launching an NSDI project requires that the interest of the procedure be demonstrated and that the highest authorities be convinced because they must: Lead the procedure and make sure that it enters into a binding strategic framework Unite all of the data-producing institutions An NSDI project that is not linked to a national development strategy is very unlikely to succeed. Data may be inconsistent in terms of production, updates and availability. Few metadata exist that indicate the source of the data, their level of quality… This ignorance of existing data leads to poor exploitation, under-utilisation or redundant production.

18. Main difficulties of leading NSDI projects (2) Difficulty  : underestimate psycological roadblocks Technical difficulties are not the only ones you will face: Leadership problems from one administration to another can be problematic Short-term visions (elections…) Reluctancy generated by changes in work methods Difficulty  : trying to do too much too quickly, and too much at once In order to help your project succeed: Take time for the procedure Use what already exists NSDI projects are very ambitious, you must accept that the work will happen progressively with a detailed plan for short, medium and long term

19. Main difficulties of leading NSDI projects (3) Difficulty 5: Financing the NSDI PPP Dialogue with private partners Co-financing Donors Convince for the Infrastructure needs Emphasise on the good governance Emphasise on the return on investment Emphasise on Economy of scale Land Administration vs NSDI

21. 5 – MAIN REFERENCES - NSDI

22. Recent references NATIONAL GEOMATIC PLAN - GABON Gabon is a country full of important mineral and environmental resources. In order to accompany the national “Emerging Gabon” development strategy created by the President of the Republic, geographic information has become a valuable tool. IGN France International was commissioned by the Gabonese government to conduct the preliminary study for the implementation of a National geomatic plan. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE CREATION OF A NATIONAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE The Serbian Geodetic Institute (RGZ) in charge of establishing cadastre in Serbia will soon become the Centre for Geographic Information for the Serbian Republic in accordance with the European SDI standards that should be in place by 2015. A collaboration has been established between the RGZ and the consortium of EADS Astrium - IGN France International that will allow the deployment of highly technological components, capacity building and a unique transfer of experience.
