Key Standards and Their Commercial Benefits

National Spatial Data Infrastructures

• Requirement for shared, multi-purpose spatial
  data infrastructure
• Policies, procedures, standards, technologies
  and people
• Complexity of roles (local, provincial, federal
  and private sector)
• Demand for products and services
• Data access and distribution
• Complimentary or competing?
• Specific Commercial Impacts
• Framework data as content
• Opportunities for partnership
• Policies can be commercial enablers/disablers

OpenGIS Consortium

• SPECIFICATIONS NOT STANDARDS
• Simple Feature Specification
• Spatial Reference Systems
• Interoperability / Conformance Testing
• Web Mapping Testbed
• Specific Commercial Impacts
• Oracle 8i Spatial SFS - Normalized Geometry
• ESRI SDE SFS - Types and Functions
• CADCorp SFO - COM Components

  under XML
• Specific Commercial Impacts

  standard for GIS data on the Internet
• XML-based data discovery and access (e.g. Oracle
  8i)

17
SQL/MM - Spatial

• SQL 3 - Current Structured Query Language
  standard
• SQL/MM defines multimedia and application
  specific types and their associated routines for
  SQL
• Spatial operations without visualization
• Specific Commercial Impacts
• More queries and data retrieval handed off to
  databases rather than GIS.
• Spatial results without GIS layer. (e.g. numeric
  valuation)

Conclusions

• Evolution from traditional surveying mapping
  activities to spatial informatics activities.
• Spatial not special paradigm emerging.
• Standards which expand the reach of spatial data
  and functionality beyond the traditional
  Geomatics marketplace offer the greatest
  commercial benefit.
