1. NSDI vision and implementation strategy for
2008-2011 (GIDEON)

• Objectives
• Public and businesses are able to retrieve and
  use all relevant geo-information
• Businesses able to add economic value to
  government-provided geo-information
• The government will use information for each
  location in its work processes and services
• Continuing development and innovation of the key
  facility.

Current Status GIDEON adopted by GI council and
send by the Minister of VROM to the parliament
(June).

Embedding geo in E-Government

• Main aims
• Reduce administrative burden
• Service for companies and civilians
• Effective and efficient government
• Geo-information part of Dutch E-Government
  programme
• Basic services key-registers, authentication,
  one stop integral services etc.
• Geo-information available in the front offices
  for companies and civilians

6
Legal basic registrations (including geo)

• Main aims
• Reduce administrative burden
• Service for companies and civilians
• Effective and efficient government
• Spatial Planning ACT
• Information-exchange subsurface nets ACT

Optimization of supply

• Coordination of all public sector geo-registers
  and privately owned source data
• Make available in digital form free of problems
  in locating, assessing and exchanging (supported
  by national geo-register)

2. NSDI playing field in the Netherlands

• Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planningand the
  Environment  (VROM)
• co-ordination of geo-information
• Council for geo-information (GI Council) June
  2006
• advisory council of Ministry of VROM
• strategic agenda on geo-information in the
  Netherlands
• key geo-registration Addresses, Buildings,
  Parcels, Topography and more
• accessibility and availability of public
  geo-information
• Dutch NSDI and INSPIRE
• Cadastre (incl. National Mapping Agency)
• Legal task for management of key
  geo-registrations and national portals
  Topography, Parcels, Addresses and buildings
  (with municipalities), Cables and pipes ...

9
The Dutch public geo-information playing field

• National Agencies, provinces, municipalities and
  waterboards
• Responsible for management thematic
  geo-registrations for supporting their public
  tasks
• Dutch NSDI and INSPIRE
• National organisations 15 - 20
• Provinces 12
• Water boards 27
• Municipalities 443

10
The Dutch public geo-information playing field

• Space for Geo-information (RGI) 2004 2009
• Innovation programme
• Strengthening the knowledge infrastructure for
  SDIs
• Geonovum April 2007
• Facilitate public sector to effectively and
  efficiently access and exchange of
  geo-information
• Develop, manage, support and stimulate use
  ofnational geo-standards and other NSDI
  components (e.g. national geo-register)
• Facilitor of GI-council for realisation of the
  national SDI Public safety , Environment,
  Spatial Planning Education
• Knowledge centre geo-standards and
  geo-architecture in eGovernment

3. Framework of standards of Dutch SDI

• Develop, manage, support and stimulate use of
  national geo-standards
• Framework adopted by national Standardisation
  Board

13
Framework of standards of Dutch SDI Metadata
standards

• Dutch Metadata profile for datasets and dataset
  series (based on ISO 19115)
• Dutch Metadata profile for services (based on ISO
  19119)
• Metadata exchange standard based on ISO 19139
• Catalogue service standard based on OGC CSW ISO
  AP 2.0.2

14
Framework of standards of Dutch SDI Information
models
15
5. Framework of standards of Dutch SDI Services
standards

• Based on NORA, the Dutch government reference
  architecture (services oriented)
• Geoservices part of services oriented
  architecture of e-government
• Geoservices OGC services, e.g. WMS, WFS, CSW,
  etc.
• Early stage of e-government integration, e.g.
  service registers

16
Standards and Testbeds

• Memorandum of Understanding between Geonovum and
  GeoBusiness NL
• Organise testbeds to help public organisations
  with implementation of NSDI standards
• Started in 2008
• Several testbeds (in preparation)
• Metadata interoperability
• Transactions i.r.t. EbXML
• Sensor web enablement
• OpenLS (vehicle tracking an tracing)

4. SDI components for Incident Management
Access to information
Sharing the same information
18
SDI components for IM (1) Information model
public safety

• Geo-information exchange model for public safety
  based on NEN 3610 (abstract terrain model)
• Describes geo-information to be shared for 3
  incident types
• Fire in large buildings
• Road accidents
• High water situations
• Convergence of existing entities from sector
  specific information models
• Exchange in GML
• Including a cartografic standard for uniform map
  representation of features)

19
Information model main classes

Cartografic standard for the common operational

21
SDI components for IM (2) SDI portal for public
safety
A single identical display of relevant
information shared by more than one command. A
common operational picture facilitates
collaborative planning and assists all echelons
to achieve situational awareness.
22
SDI portal for public safety is frontrunner for
the NSDI

• Version 1.0 SDI portal for public safety (2008)
• SDI with 30 web mapping services from 8 public
  organizations (incl. map viewer)
• Extranet, Service Level 247

23
4. Challenges

• Improving accessibility of public geo-information
• Realization of metadata catalogs and data
  services
• Implementation of standards
• Information model public safety
• Testbeds
• Organisation issues
• Roles division of tasks
• Institutional arrangements for SDI implementation
• National SDI shared service centre (national
  facilities)
• Resources
• Knowledge development (e.g. standards)
• Lack of resources, esp. IT people
• Innovation
• New programme (follow-up Space for
  Geo-information)
