Mercury PS 5 min. Soapbox presentation to the Australian Collaborative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRC-SI) Annual Conference. Arguing that SDI 1.0 (Yet Another Portal) is dying and SDI 2.0 presents the future of Research.

1. SDI 2.0
INTO THE 21ST CENTURY
MAURITS VAN DER VLUGT
Spatial Information strategist

2. OVERVIEW
SDI as we know it
SDI 2.0
Examples
Challenges

3. SDI 1.0 - AS WE KNOW IT

4. BUT… NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL
Expensive
Slow
Supply Driven
Plenty of YAPs – but no users

5. SO WHAT ABOUT SDI 2.0?

6. SOME BUZZWORDS
Web 2.0 / Social Media
Crowd Sourcing – Volunteered Geo-
Information (VGI)
User Generated Content
Augmented Reality
Geotagging
And many more…

7. The “[...] usage of geographical techniques
and tools used for personal and
community activities or for utilization by a
non-expert group of users”

9. HARNESSING THE LONG TAIL OF
GEODATA

10. TOURISTS AND LOCALS

11. KEY DIFFERENCES
Users are Producers
 and there are plenty of them!
Decentralisation of “Authority”
 E.g. Open Streetmap, Wikipedia
Quality is in the eye of the beholder
The Internet is the Marketplace
Fast, Cheap, Demand driven!

13. HOW NEOGEOGRAPHERS SEE GIS-ERS
They don’t
From Andrew Turner, Fortius One

14. CHALLENGES
Ignore at our peril
Where does this leave government?
Next big things
 The long-tail model of Spatial Data Collection
 From YAPs to ‘fine-grained‘APIs for mash-up purposes
 R&D: Validation & Filtering
 R&D: What Licencing and Business models work?

15. SUMMARY
SDI as we know it? “so last century!”
SDI 2.0
 Driven by Web 2.0 and Neogeography
 No more distinction between users and producers
 Harnessing the long tail
 Dramatically shifting role for government
Ignore at our peril!
