  1. Digital Asia Network (DAN) Shin-ichi Sobue1), Ryuzo Yokoyama 2) 1)National Space Development Agency of Japan 2)Asian Center for Research on Remote Sensing

  2. Background A lot of geo-spatial data are available in Asia. Geo-spatial data include satellite remote sensing data, geographical data, in-situ observation data, etc. Digital Earth proposed by former vice President Mr. Al Gore was launched in U.S.A and has been implemented by international society including (USA, Japan, China, etc.) with UNEP. Geo-spatial data are powerful tools for investigationg various socio-economic and Earth environmental topics. Proposal of Digital Asia (1)

  3. Issue Lack of trans-boundary data and information sharing. Proposal – Digital Asia To provide easy and effective sharing of Geo-spatial among Asian countries for practical application and global change studies for sustainable development and global environmental protection. Proposal of Digital Asia (2)

  4. I believe we need a “Digital Earth,” a multi-resolution three-dimensional representation of Earth. For scientists to understand the complex interaction between humanity and our environment. Multiple geo-spatial information sources various resolution. Needed a user interface networked, browsable, displaying, integrating, The Digital Earth Vision • (Gore, 1998)

  5. Digital Earth activities OpenGIS Consortium (OGC): a collaborative effort between government agencies, private companies and universities to develop interoperable web mapping and data access. OGC's Web Mapping Testbed (WMT) Web Map Server (WMS) Interface Specification. WMT phase 2, now in progress, is extending WMS and defining new standards to access georeferenced data. Digital Earth Technology

  8. 1) Digital Asia Workshops/Sessions Host Digital Asia workshops and/or special sessions to promote the Digital Asia concept and call for participation in DAN at international remote sensing and GIS conferences (such as ACRS, GMSARN and APAN) through support from NASDA/RESTEC and other sponsors. 2) DAN Home page Develop and maintain a home page for DAN to promote the Digital Asia concept and call for participation in DAN. Maintain a mailing list for all DAN participants, the Steering Committee, the Technical Support Team and users. 3) Prototype demonstration systems Each participant is expected to implement a prototype demonstration system for data sharing using OGC WMT and IT. These demonstration systems will be evaluated by users, the Steering Committee and DAN participants to compile issues and lessons learned information for future development of operational systems. Three Year Plan for DANsupported by NASDA and other partners Call For Participants

  9. 1) Steering Committee Propose and coordinate the Digital Asia concept and future direction. Formulate sponsoring agencies, participating agencies and IT and GIS experts. 2) Technical Support Team Support the implementation of demonstration systems by participating agencies through provision of technical training courses and consulting services. Collect and maintain freeware GIS and IT tools. May provide their own developed software as a shared tool. 3) The Secretariat Located at ACRORS/AIT and supported by NASDA and other sponsors. Coordinate with the Steering Committee and participating agencies to host a DAN workshop or special session at remote sensing and GIS conferences. Support overall management of DAN, training courses and homepage which will provide Digital Asia information and freeware tools. Since DAN is a self-funding best-effort forum, each participant has the responsibility to develop and operate their own data sharing system. Structure of DAN

  10. OGC training course at AIT 11/11-15, 2002 Purpose To make a capacity building for data sharing and management using IT and GIS Outcome 16 participants from 9 countries (India, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippine, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam) Very high interest of this training course and request to continue this training course coming years Request to provide experts to make a training course in requested countries to increasenumber of partcipants in each countries DAN Promotion (1)

  11. DAN special session at ACRS in Nepal 11/27, 2002 Summary of session About 120 participants． 8 papers presentations for Open GIS concept, Digital Earth concept, Digital Asia concept, demonstration system． Outcome AARS agreed to endorse DAN activity in Asia High interest from participants． Need to focus to the target of DAN in specific application field． 　　　　　　　　　　ACRS：Asian Conference of Remote Sensing DAN Promotion (2)
