National Geospatial Platforms Solution to interoperability challenge in Europe Antti Jakobsson Programme manager National Land Survey of Finland 1
Questionnaire made in 2017: Google search: Public Geospatial Platforms in Europe Country Name of the platform: Link to the existing platform or portal: The Netherlands PDOK (Public Services on the Map) www.pdok.nl Norway Geonorge (SDI is Norway digital) www.geonorge.no Ireland GeoPortal.ie www.geoportal.ie/ Iceland Oskari kort.lmi.is Spain Spanish Spatial Data Infrastructure www.idee.es Sweden Geodataportalen www.geodata.se/geodataexplorer/ Germany Geoportal.de www.geoportal.de Germany Dienstleistungszentrum des Bundes für Geoinformation und Geodäsie (DLZ) www.geodatenzentrum.de Poland Geoportal www.geoportal.gov.pl/ Great Britain data.gov.uk (existing portal) data.gov.uk/location Finland Paikkatietoalusta www.paikkatietoalusta.fi (development site) www.geoportal.fi (existing portal) 2
Geospatial platform a plug-and-play business model that allows multiple participants (producers and consumers) to connect to it, interact with each other and create and exchange value1. Also collections of services used for hosting, processing and distributing geospatial data are called platforms. 3
Services for the Data providers 4
Services for the data users 5
Challenge Reaching critical mass and creating a working ecosystem 6
INSPIRE pros and cons Pros Legal Framework Data standardisation effort Web Services Thematic approach Cons No clear user need management No user ecosystems Too many sources for data -> too much work Complex models and challenging APIs Use cases are mostly national -> No demand for data providers to make INSPIRE useful Commision has not shown the example by investing to utilisation of services Data quality 7
Current challenges nationally Spatial data is not uniform or harmonised Spatial data is not used to its full potential. LACK OF INTEROPERABILITY THE CHALLENGES OF DECISION-MAKING icons made by ddara, Freepik, becris, Tomas Knop, good ware, mynamepong and smashicons from www.flaticon.com Data processing is a laborious task COSTS
Available But not used 9
Possible solutions 25.9.2018 10
Everything has to be managed We need organisation(s) that take the leadership at European, national and regional level 11
Data specifications need to be maintained and based on user needs We are moving to 3D, integration of BIM 12
13
We need to address data quality -Current specifications are not enough -Need to introduce data quality validation tools -Need to provide quality dashboards 14
15
Most user needs are national/local Do we need separate services for Europe? Why not make national services INSPIRE compliant 16

Support and innovation At European level capacity of countries is not the same, but this is true also at national level -> there is a need to build capacity Data providers need support Data users need support solutions/applications 18
What are the key components of the platform? Data standardisation data schemas, quality rules, life-cycle rules, collection guidelines Automated Data tools for the producers quality quard, data lifecycle management, error reporting, data updating tools Data portal finding, evaluating data situational picture, metadata search, quality dashboards Data distribution services, APIs, Analysis and processing services Support (community) Geo Hub Management of the ecosystem 19
Shall we create a network of interoperable national platforms? Interested please contact? Antti Jakobsson, National Land Survey of Finland Antti.jakobsson@nls.fi 20
