David Coleman presentation at SDI Summit 2014, Calgary, Canada, 17-19 Sept 2014GSDI Association
Keynote presentation at Pan-Canadian SDI Summit 2014 by GSDI Association President David Coleman entitled "International SDI Initiatives: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally”. After providing context on the role Canadians played in early land information networking and SDI developments through the 1980s and early 1990s, he described the importance of such transnational and international SDI initiatives as Digital Earth, GEO, OGC & ISO, UN GGIM and — with special emphasis on the GSDI Cookbook and Small Grants Program — the GSDI Association itself.
Designing Next Generation Smart City Initiatives:Harnessing Findings And Les...Edward Curry
The proliferation of “Smart Cities” initiatives around the world is part of the strategic response by governments to the challenges and opportunities of increasing urbanization and the rise of cities as the nexus of societal development. As a framework for urban transformation, Smart City initiatives aim to harness Information and Communication Technologies and Knowledge Infrastructures for economic regeneration, social cohesion, better city administration and infrastructure management. However, experiences from earlier Smart City initiatives have revealed several technical, management and governance challenges arising from the inherent nature of a Smart City as a complex “Socio- technical System of Systems”. While these early lessons are informing modest objectives for planned Smart Cities programs, no rigorous developed framework based on careful analysis of existing initiatives is available to guide policymakers, practitioners, and other Smart City stakeholders. In response to this need, this paper presents a “Smart City Initiative Design (SCID) Framework” grounded in the findings from the analysis of ten major Smart Cities programs from Netherlands, Sweden, Malta, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Singapore, Brazil, South Korea, China and Japan. The findings provide a design space for the objectives, implementation options, strategies, and the enabling institutional and governance mechanisms for Smart City initiatives.

2012 URISA Track, Civic Engagement and Success through the Cloud, Anthony Pal...GIS in the Rockies
Proactive communication (Civic Engagement) can provide people and organizations a means to integrate, organize, and promote information. Within organizations proactive communication increases the chances for success, improves morale and motivates people, promotes shared responsibilities, integrates business units, and is a foundational component for proficient business practices for effective government.
In the case of government agencies, Civic Engagement is essential and with the mantra of “do more with less” this vital engagement across departments and with constituents will determine success or failure. Government agencies need to have well-ordered work processes in order to communicate their desired results. Can government agencies improve their communication procedures and work processes to better meet their business needs? The short answer is yes!
This presentation will demonstrate how multiple government agencies are addressing these needs successfully through the Civic Engagement with their constituents, across department and divisions by delivering vital services through the cloud.
Goals:
1. Review the current government communication methods vs. proactive
2. Review the government agencies plans to address Civic Engagement
3. Demonstrate how they are achieving Civic Engagement with their constituents internal and external

Raj Singh talks about the history of OGC standards such as Sensor Web Enablement Suite -- Sensor Planning Service, Sensor Observation Service, SensorML, Observation & Measurements -- and its IoT companion -- SWEforIoT, and how the geospatial industry is uniquely positioned to take leadership in the emerging Internet of Things space.
In recent years governments and research institutions have emphasized the need for open data as a fundamental component of open science. But we need much more than the data themselves for them to be reusable and useful. We need descriptive and machine-readable metadata, of course, but we also need the software and the algorithms necessary to fully understand the data. We need the standards and protocols that allow us to easily read and analyze the data with the tools of our choice. We need to be able to trust the source and derivation of the data. In short, we need an interoperable data infrastructure, but it must be a flexible infrastructure able to work across myriad cultures, scales, and technologies. This talk will present a concept of infrastructure as a body of human, organisational, and machine relationships built around data. It will illustrate how a new organization, the Research Data Alliance, is working to build those relationships to enable functional data sharing and reuse.

Lessons learned and challenges for the
future
4. Spatial Data Infrastructure
from http://www.gsdi.org
Critical mass of processes, policies,
standards, enabling technologies,
mechanisms and key datasets
required to make geospatial data readily
available to the growing community of end-users.
5. Evolution of the “Driving
Visions” of SDI
1960s and 1970s: Vision of creating jurisdiction-wide large,
centralized LIS and GIS “Data Banks” based on a common spatial
referencing framework
1980’s: Shift from large central databases to decentralized
networks of systems
SDI in the early 1990s: Recognizing and addressing
technological, operational and institutional aspects of geospatial
data collection, management, discovery and dissemination in a
coordinated manner.
SDI’s today: Supporting location-based services in the mass
market and spatially enabled workflows in government & industry.
6. 1st-Generation Spatial
Data Infrastructure
Programs
Concept developed in late 1970’s and
refined through 1980s and early 1990s
Evolved from earlier systematic surveying
& mapping programs
Emphasis on data discovery & distribution
Began in earnest in the US circa 1992
Followed quickly by Canada, Australia, the
EEC, the UK and many others
7. SDI: Early Principles
Data collected once and used many times
Seamless databases across boundaries
Recognition of both Basic Framework Data and
Value Added Data
Equitable sharing of SDI Costs, Services &
Responsibilities
(in some countries) Creation of value-added
products & services in support of industry
development From CGII Vision Report, Geoplan Consultants, Nov. 1996
8. Non-Government “SDI”
Commercial suppliers of online
geospatial data and services (e.g.,
Google, DigitalGlobe, Bing,
Nokia/Navteq, Esri and many others)
Open source suppliers like
OpenStreetMap
NGOs providing crowdsourced detail
and updates in response to (e.g.,)
Disaster Response and Citizen Science
9. A Changing Marketplace
Today…
Corporate consolidation and reorientation of government
programs
Commoditization and “mass customization” of location-based
services
Challenges to traditional geomatics approaches and suppliers
around the world
Evolving expectations of users re: capability, performance,
transparency, simplicity and reliability
“Big Data” demands changing our views of how we manage,
process, analyze and visualize data.
10. SDIs – The New
Generation
New Waves of geospatial data creation – both active
and passive
Increased operational use of geospatial data: sensor
networks and geospatially-enabled workflows
Increased strategic use of geospatial data by large
public & private organizations to detect patterns and
predict behaviour
Widespread and growing expectations of high
accuracy, currency of information and rapid response
times
11. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(from Pomfret /UNGGIM, 2014)
• Tremendous potential for
geospatial community, but…
• Number of legal concerns
- In-air collisions
- Personal injuries
- Privacy
• Number of countries re-examining laws & policies
• Impact could be much broader implications than
simply UAVs.

30. Evolving SDIs
“Mass Customized”
and Indoor SDI
(Today)
“Private Sector” SDI
(2000s)
Traditional Public Sector SDI (1990s)
Similar Evolution Patterns as Traditional SDI, BUT
•Accelerating Technology Development
•Built atop in-place standards
•Increasingly sophisticated user community already possessing the
necessary technology for other reasons
•Based on market-based values & principles
•Much less emphasis on governance & consensus
•Reliance on Users to provide data “infills” and updates.
31. “Authoritative” SDI
Programs 1995-2014:
Looking Back…
Public infrastructure indeed laid the framework
for private sector initiatives, but…
Mapping Emphasis and Library/Bookstore Metaphor
limited the vision
Emphasis on widespread, mass-market use of
government mapping files has not taken hold.
Mixed successes in government-government and
government-industry partnerships
Except in a few examples, did not predict the ultimate
influence of integrated, real-time location-based
services

33. SDI: Revisiting Early
Principles
Data: “Collect once, Use many times” – Still
necessary in an age of cheap and transparent location
determination?
Governance: Need for new models needed to
enable more rapid response to evolving user demands.
Financing: Consumers demand “free data”, but
willing to pay for services in several different ways…
Public and Private SDIs: Where are they
separate? Where are they necessary? Where do they
34. SDI: Examples of New
Research Directions
Accommodating and extending the use of
“unconventional” data collection platforms
Integrating output from indoor sensors with customer
service, security, business intelligence and point of
sale systems to support operational and strategic
services
Foreground and Background (or conscious and
unconscious) use of SDIs
Nature and resolution of governance & institutional
Issues in private SDIs (especially indoor SDIs)
One of GSDI’s earliest examples was the SDI Cookbook prepared collaboratively by multiple partners. While this is now available in multiple languages, we are pleased to see other organizations like UNECA and PC-IDEA improve on this with more extensive efforts tied to specific regions.
Since its launch in 2003, the GSDI Small Grants Program has supported more than 100 projects across the globe. Historically, the program has been sponsored through a partnership between the GSDI Association, the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee, and the GISCorps of URISA.
From the 2011-2012 Call for Proposals , 17 projects were supported beginning in 2012 and concluding in 2013. The full range of projects can be seen at http://www.gsdi.org/sic1 along with the final reports submitted by the beneficiaries.
This is a great cause, and the Association is actively seeking new funding to support the program for 2013 and beyond.
Through Societal Impacts Committee vice-Chair,
Jeremy Shen (Chinese Taipei), GSDI was able to provide a free training opportunity for three candidates from Latin
America to attend the International Center for Land Policy Studies and Training (ICLPST) training seminar on
Geographical Information Systems and Land Management in Taipei in September 2012. The same opportunity was
offered again in 2013, sponsoring another three members of IGS or GSDI to attend the 2013 training seminar.
