Geographic Information Network in Europe
- 1990s characterized by discussions at regional,
national, and European levels to promote wider
use of GI for policy-making, business, research,
and society at large - Currently Europe characterized by fragmentation
- multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-national
nature of Europe, - main challenges are organisational,
institutional, and political in nature
4
Geographic Information Network in Europe
- Aim Develop a cohesive Geographic Information
Strategy at the European level - Key activities
- Develop a sound knowledge base through the
comparative policy analysis of frameworks for
access, use, and dissemination of GI - Raise awareness and capacity building which
includes targeted actions for policy-makers at
national and European levels - Strategic input to INSPIRE and contributing to
the international debate taking place at the GSDI
Conference (Budapest, Sept. 2002) - Establishing government and industry panels to
help formulate a cohesive European Strategy for
GI, and a business model to make it work.
5
Geographic Information Network in Europe
- GINIE will result in a fully functioning Advisory
Board on Geographic Information (ABGI) - Representatives of
- governments
- industry
- research
- European Commission
- ABGI is to promote and co-ordinate the use of GI
in Europe for business, citizens, research, and
policy-making

8th EC-GIS Workshop
- Dublin, 2-5th July 2002
- GINIE as central theme
- Presentation of findings on SDIs and Data Policy
WS - Opportunity to have broad range discussion on
ABGI with key stakeholders - Input to the GI strategy research agenda
10
Global Perspectives on GI
- Workshop on NSDIs experiences and lessons for
Europe. (ISPRA, May 02) - Workshop on local to global infrastructures.
(Rome, March 03) - Comparative study of experiences in US, Australia
and Canada providing inputs for MoUs - Inputs to SDI cookbook and legal and economic
working groups of GSDI
11
Workshops - to date
- Two workshops completed
- Spatial Data Infrastructure (ISPRA, May 02)
- Data Policy (Paris, May 02)
- Experts from 17 countries have participated
- Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Czech Republic,
France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA. - Other pan European SDI and Data Policy
initiatives have participated. e.g. INSPIRE
12
Workshops - to date continued
- Baseline documents and presentations from the
workshops available on GINIE web site - www.ec-gis.org/ginie
- Workshop reports (English only) and Management
overviews in 10 European languages will be
available by end of July 02.

SDI WS recommendations
- Co-ordination and organisation
- There is a need for a coordinating body at the
European level to make an ESDI happen. It should
have technical working groups reporting to it. - Financial sustainability and political
sustainability - Political involvement is important
- to endorse and propagate the vision
- for putting in place the legal framework
- for allocating resources and
- for peer pressure of politicians on politicians
14
SDI WS - recommendations
- Selling the benefits
- Carefully devise a communication strategy
addressing authorities at different
administrative levels, and focus on use-cases and
pilot projects that have a direct relation to
political top priorities - Phased implementation
- ESDI principles should be followed in EU-funded
projects development of data and technology
specifications should be considered in parallel
to enable delivery of a specific service
15
Data Policy WS - Recommendations
- Regulation - the need
- The provision of a universal GI service requires
a conventional regulatory regime. - Regulation is required between
- The different levels of public sector
- The public sector and private sector.
- Regulation is required if voluntary solutions do
not work.
16
Data Policy WS - Recommendations
- Regulation - the framework
- The regulatory framework shall ensure that
- Where information monopolies exist they maximise
the access to data for the citizen and public
sector and a level playing field for commercial
operators exists. - When privatisation of a public sector activity
occurs the rights to data are established.
17
Data Policy WS - Recommendations
- Data user
- Individuals and organisations must be able to
achieve their objective without being impeded by
the terms and conditions regarding the use of
geographic data. - The terms and conditions related to the use of
all public sector data must be publicly and
freely available.
18
Data Policy WS - Recommendations
- Data provider
- If a licence is needed, it must be both simple
and clear and be similar for similar products. - Liability All products should be defined
(described) including the limitations of the
products. New legislation will need to be put on
the statute book to provide the liability
framework.
19
Data Policy WS - Recommendations
- Data policy
- Innovative financial regimes must be developed to
maximise the sustainable, cost/effective
production and use of GI. - GI usage should be maximised through incentives
to promote data sharing. - All services should be funded either through
public funding or user payment - whatever is
sustainable. The option chosen should ensure
that it promotes the maximum (the best) access
and use.

OGCE View of GINIE business/technical perspective
- GINIE is a project for sensing
- Seek out the uniqueness of European (from
cultural and geographic perspectives)
competencies, requirements and market need - by
nation and by theme - Access scattered capabilities market
opportunities to pioneer interoperable geospatial
products and services - Drive member benefit with focused opportunities
21
Capability Sensing Extend OGC capabilities
- Identify new and relevant technologies
- Recognize that valuable knowledge about
technology and markets is subtle, complex and
sticky (deeply embedded in local convention) - Build on core strengths and requirements of
European homelands that contribute
international advantage - Envisage homeland strengths into global arena and
international geospatial product and service
product life cycle - Bring competitive parity to Europe
- Breakthroughs in performance, service value and
cost reduction come from combining technologies
and competencies from different geographic
environments - We have many good examples STMicroelectronics,
Polygram, PixTech, Nokia
22
OGCE Role and Play
- GINIE - an opportunity for understanding European
requirements - Prospecting European Capabilities - to fuel
continuing innovation via Open GIS specification - Define European pockets of innovative technology
and market need - draw ideas, technology and
market knowledge from the European Pool - Provide an outlet by plugging innovative
technology and new market needs into the
established network of relationships of the
Consortium
23
OGCE Role and Play
- ABGI - one of many ways to coalesce dispersed
knowledge throughout Europe - Raise ideas for magnet projects that marshal
capability for requirement mobilsation - Build more effective communication with
institutions, teams, partners and customers
framing levels of consensus on interoperability
in a European context
