Spatial data interoperability and INSPIRE compliance the platform approach BAGIS

BAGIS Voluntary, independent, public, non-profit organization; Organization with main mission to promote the growth of the GIS society in Bulgaria and support the development and use of GIS in Bulgaria;

BAGIS Main goals To help create effective conditions for wider deployment and use of GIS and GI; Provide knowledge and information on GIS and GI; Encourage the creation of GIS applications, as well as the use of GIS and GIs and related technologies.

BAGIS Main goals To promote and support GIS education, scientific and innovation practices in the sphere; To promote dialogue between the public and private sector on GIS issues; To help create GIS legislation, policies, strategies and plans;

BAGIS Main goals Provide appropriate information to its members and act as a catalyst for new opportunities in their work; Work to improve the qualifications of Geospatial Information Systems specialists; Many more

Integrated processes for using spatial data Applications Processing Creation Data production Work processes Publishing Detection Services Use Visualization Products and services Analysis End users Data collection

Use Case: I want to find data Solution: Simple keyword Search Spatial search Federated Search Advanced options for experts Smart matching and ranking Thesaurus Service Search results are simple to understand yet contain detail for power users

Use Case: I don t want to search though Solution: Analogous to Department Store Implementer Organizes Hierarchy (Facets) Based on Metadata Content Filter/Paginate Within Category Classification and Relationships

Use Case: I want to make a map Solution: Preview services: - ArcGIS Server Map Services - OGC WMS, SOS - GeoRSS - KML Provide integration points for map viewer platforms - Web AppBuilder - ArcGIS.com Viewer - JavaScript, Flex, Silverlight - ArcGIS Desktop ArcMap - ArcGIS Explorer

Use Case: I want to download data Solution: Based on Clip-Zip-Ship Service - Select area - Select data - Set options Deliver download link through email Extensible in Python

Use Case: I want to share my resource Solution: Register Servers or Services Directly Create metadata online Upload metadata Register catalog service for harvesting Support metadata standards: - INSPIRE - North American Profile - Dublin Core - Configurable

Use Case: Is new data is available? Solution: User specifies search criteria Give user link to a GeoRSS feed User subscribes to GeoRSS feed Bookmark searches in the browser

EU SPATIAL DATA - Initial assessment 2001г. Needs - Better spatial information for policy implementation - Improvement of the existing GSD information streams - Cross-border exchange of geo-information - Update of the approach from reporting and monitoring to sharing information Situation in Europe - Restrictions on spatial data - Prices, rights, access, licensing policy - Lack of coordination - Across borders - Between the different administrative levels - Lack of standards - Incompatible data and IS - The existing data is not used multiple times - Fragmented information, repeatedly funded July 2004 Offer for INSPIRE Directive November 2006 Political decision 15 May 2007 Enters into force EU has islands of data in different standards and quality.

INSPIRE GSD institutional frame Technical standards for GSD Basic spatial data sets Spatial data services

Problems with the current data sharing method Data actuality Formats Coordinate systems/projections Compatibility Size Lack of metadata Usually require processing of the data before their usage (transformation)

Components of the Spatial Data Infrastructure Technology - hardware, GIS software, networks, databases, technical standards Policies & Interdepartmental Agreements - management, rights and data security, data exchange, return on investment People - training, professional development, cooperation, goals` achievement
