1 Cadastral Standards & Interoperability Some Considerations Black Hills Digital Mapping Association September 18, 2007 Jeanne Foust ESRI Spatial Data Infrastructure Global Manager

2 Why is this area of GIS receiving so much attention? Interoperability is essential for sharing Land Records and other GIS data Technology advances are enabling interoperability Networked infrastructure Spatial Extract Transform & Load Metadata tools Standards are emerging that support interoperability SOA GIS

3 What we will talk about Thinking about the Interoperability Components and Functional Areas of GIS Standardization The Role of ISO TC211 & OGC Standards W3C and OASIS Standards The Role of the FGDC in setting standards in the United States What s s the FGDC Cadastre Standard? Law or guidance? Agreeing on State-wide standards for South Dakota.

4 What is Interoperability? "capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units Source: OGC Abstract Specification Topic 12: Services. Derived from ISO the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged Source: IEEE Be able to: find what you need; access it; understand and employ it; have goods and services responsive to the needs of consumers ISO TC211

5 GIS has always required Interoperability Geographic analysis Multiple sources, multiple organizations Distributed within a community Merging diverse information types Enterprise GIS GIS evolving beyond isolated communities GIS merging with broader IT infrastructures GIS Web Services Enabled by distributed networks Loosely coupled Roads Cadastre Land Use/Land Cover Imagery Topography Control Geography is a Key an integrating technology

6 Interoperability Enablers Metadata tools Standards Authorization Business Agreements/MOUs Copyright Pricing/commerce/ Business Model Datum/Projection support Compatible Technology Security Privacy Information Assurance Certification Quality

7 Components of Interoperability: Standards & Best Practices Technical Technical (machine to machine, software module interaction, API, format ) Semantic Semantic (understanding concepts, terms, inter-disciplinary special vocabularies ) Human (cooperation, training ) Legal /Policy (digital rights, ownership, responsibility, )

8 Technical Interoperability Standards ISO Metadata XML Schema OGC WMS OGC GML

9 Organizations in which establish Technical Interoperability Standards example: ISO 19128, example: WMS, WFS, GML example: Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI)

10 Semantic Interoperability Standards ISO Metadata Title = name by which the resource is known Standards which define terms, concepts, and information schemas OASIS Common Alerting Protocol-CAP msgtype = the code denoting the nature of the alert message. <element name = "msgtype"> <simpletype name = "msgtype" > <restriction base = "string"> <enumeration value = "Alert"/> <enumeration value = "Update"/> <enumeration value = "Cancel"/> <enumeration value = "Ack"/> <enumeration value = "Error"/> </restriction> </simpletype> </element> FGDC Framework data content

23 The US FGDC Cadastral Framework Standards: How are the Cadastral Framework Standards organized? FGDC Cadastre Subcommittee s s work: The data considered "Core" are divided into two categories - "Core Geometry" and "Core Attributes." Core Geometry is comprised of fields considered necessary to uniquely define and reflect the spatial orientation and location of a parcel. Core Attributes are those minimum attribute data considered necessary to adequately document a parcel in a GIS system. The standard also includes "Core Plus" options, and a table of suggested field types and sizes for the Core and Core Plus attribute fields.

24 What are the Cadastral Core Plus? Core Plus attributes are those attributes that a cadastral producer or distributor may deem desirable for inclusion as part of the cadastral information, but are not considered necessary. South Dakota may wish to adopt PLUS attributes as a statewide best practice.

25 Primarily collected at neighborhood scales using survey techniques. es. At the neighborhood level, the parcel is the primary mapping unit. City and county level representations are important to identify and distinguish city blocks, and to highlight government and private lands.

26 DATA MODELS: A tool for Data Content Standards Also Implement other Standards Use standardized modeling languages and rules for application schemas Street Parcel Topology Vectors Networks Use standardized spatial schemas ISO 19107, OGC SF, etc Basic Geographic Structures With Rules That Define Relationships and Behavior With Schema Rules Relationships Definitions Behavior ISO Content Description Smith Building Name To produce user view Data Management Data Format Visualization

Agreeing on State-wide standards for South Dakota.

28 Random thoughts Don t t reinvent the wheel Agree upon and adopt the base standards Good standards are always being improved upon CHANGING Standards should be a floor for innovation not a ceiling Understand the difference between methodology best practices and standards Get your GIS providers to support standards in the box or with tools as much as possible
