OGC Standards and Activities for SDIs SDIs, Interoperability and Open Standards OGC standards for SDIs INSPIRE and OGC Standards …and other examples

‘infrastructure for spatial information’ – INSPIRE Directive Metadata, spatial data sets and spatial data services; Network services and technologies; Agreements on sharing, access and use; and, coordination and monitoring mechanisms, processes and procedures,

INSPIRE Definition of Interoperability “the possibility for spatial data sets to be combined, and for services to interact, without repetitive manual intervention, in such a way that the result is coherent and the added value of the data sets and services” Institutional Organizational Cultural Legal Technical

Interoperability – You know when you don’t have it… Custom Integration High system lifecycle costs Difficult to rapidly mobilize new capabilities Duplication of effort, missed opportunities to collaborate Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.,

Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., Why Open Standards? Rapidly mobilize new capabilities – plug and play Lower systems costs Encourage market competition Choose based on functionality desired Avoid “lock in” to a proprietary architecture Decisions to share information and services become policy decisions Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.,

OGC Sensor Web Enablement Enables discovery, access and application of real time sensor observations for enhanced situational awareness Sensor Model Language (SensorML) Transducer Markup Language (TML) Observations & Measurements (O&M) Sensor Planning Service (SPS) Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Sensor Alert Service (SAS) Web Notification Service (WNS) IEEE (sensor) and OASIS (alert) stds Quickly discover sensors (secure or public) that can meet my needs – and learn about what they can do (location, observables, quality, ability to task) Obtain sensor information in a standard encoding that is understandable by the user and by software Readily access sensor observations in a common manner, and in a form specific to my needs Task sensors, when possible, to meet my specific needs Request and receive alerts / notification when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon, or completes a requested task Information Models and Schema Sensor Model Language (SensorML) for In-situ and Remote Sensors - Core models and schema for observation processes: support for sensor components, georegistration, response models, post measurement processing Observations and Measurements (O&M) – Core models and schema for observations TransducerML – adds system integration and real-time streaming clusters of observations Web Services Sensor Observation Service - Access Observations for a sensor or sensor constellation, and optionally, the associated sensor and platform data Sensor Alert Service – Subscribe to alerts based upon sensor observations Sensor Planning Service – Request collection feasibility and task sensor system for desired observations Web Notification Service –Manage message dialogue between client and Web service(s) for long duration (asynchronous) processes Sensor Registries – Discover sensors and sensor observations Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.,

OGC Reference Model (ORM) www.opengeospatial.org/standards/orm What is the purpose of the ORM? Overview of OGC Standards Baseline Insight into the current state of the work of the OGC Basis for coordination and understanding of the OGC documents Resource for defining architectures for specific applications Why Read This Document? Better understand the OGC Standards Baseline Better understand the ongoing work of the OGC Gain an understanding necessary to contribute to OGC process Aid in implementing one or more of the OpenGIS Standards Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.,

OGC-based Policy Positions European Union INSPIRE Directive emphasizing ISO and OGC standards for improved interoperability UK Ordnance Survey distributes its MasterMap product using OGC standards. Canadian, Australian, US, Indian and other national Spatial Data programs recommend OGC standards as best practice for interoperability US CIA and DHS have adopted OGC as part of their Geospatial Enterprise Architectures.

INSPIRE Directive INSPIRE lays down general rules to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. INSPIRE to be based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States INSPIRE is a distributed infrastructure. INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data INSPIRE does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights Entry into force 15 May 2007

From Commission proposal to Community Directive implementation Preparatory phase (2004-2006) Co-decision procedure Start of preparation of Implementing Rules Transposition phase (2007-2009) Directive entered into force 15 May 2007 INSPIRE Committee starts its activities 26 June 2007 Continuation of preparation of Implementing Rules Transposition into national legislation 15 May 2009 Adoption of Implementing Rules by Comitology Implementation phase (2009-2013) Implementation and monitoring of measures 19
