Development of Standard Interoperable Database for Local Level Planning- NRDMS Approach Dr. DEBAPRIYA DUTTA SCIENTIST”E”/ADDN. DIRECTOR NRDMS DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. NEW DELHI.

Objectives of Decentralised Planning Increase in Productivity of land, Employment generation. Keeping in mind assets development, Poverty alleviation, Provisions of minimum amenities and infrastructure facilities.

Launched by Dept. of Science & Technology in 1982, NRDMS is an R & D programme to develop and demonstrate methods, techniques and tools for operationalising the concept of ‘Decentralised (Local level ) Planning’ NRDMS Programme

Interoperability... As defined by ISO TC 211  The ability to find information and processing tools when they are needed, no matter where they are physically located  The ability to understand and employ the discovered information and tools, no matter what platform supports them, whether local or remote  The ability to participate in a healthy marketplace, where goods and services are responsive to the needs of consumers

Interoperable Formats of GRAM++  Imports data from other GIS formats :  AutoDesk DXF  Survey of India DVD  ESRI ArcInfo UNGEN and ArcView Shape  GRAM for DOS  ESRI GRID  RAW image  Exports data to other GIS formats  AutoDesk DXF  ESRI ArcInfo UNGEN  ESRI GRID  RAW image

Meta Data Information about the data  geographic area covered  currency  rules of acquiring  positional accuracy  means of encoding  datum -map projection

Metadata - purpose  Information about a dataset (meta data) may be necessary in order to:  Locate appropriate data,  Evaluate whether the dataset meets one’s requirements,  Extract the relevant data, and,  Actually make full use of the data in an application

How should the metadata be structured?  Useful to record metadata and the content of a metadata record in a standard way,  To enable a potential user to make a more rapid evaluation of whether the dataset will meet his or her needs  Also needs to be structured in a way that supports automated indexing, searching and retrieval of information, if it is to be made accessible through digital catalogues on the Internet
