6. Standards – how and why What is a standard and why is it needed Solving GIS problems by using standards Technical framework and a reference model The conceptual model and how to use it The application model and how to use it How to utilise standards © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000

7. The Problem B C A D E F ? ? Who has data? Which meaning and quality has the data? Is the delivery in accordance with the order? How do I get the data into the system? What happens when I change system or data provider? © M S GIS & Mapping, SIS Sweden, 2000

8. The Solution B C A D E F ! Shared principles for data descriptions and data transfer Data with agreed meaning Uniform structure for meta data and data quality Automatic data import and data delivery procedures © M S GIS & Mapping, SIS Sweden, 2000

9. What is a Standard and Why is it Needed © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000 Users agree on a standard, developed in a joint project, and get it approved by the national standardisation authority (official standard) Users agree to utilise a system/concept developed by one user or a group of users. Not approved by the national standardisation authority (de facto standard) A producer, or a group of a producers, provide a product that dominates the market (producer standard)

13. Geographic Information is much more than ”the map” Everything that is possible to relate geographically 80 – 85 % of all information in most organisations GIS use is nothing new – the information is the same as today. New tools and new workflows are utilised Adding the geographic component is just a way to simplify the use of information from many sources © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000 Some facts

14. Meta Data © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000 Information about the contents of data bases Digital and analogue data bases – facilitate to find information about needed/required/desired data Structure according to a standard – easy to use, easy to update for the data vendor, multi use of technical solutions The first step when searching for data Decisive for judgement about the feasibility of a certain data set for a specific purpose An aid when searching for any type of information within an organisation – not only in digital format

15.

27. Advantages with GIS on Internet/Intranet Can be combined with other Web-functions as links to documents – images, reports, drawings, Excel-sheets etc Is quickly available for many users Web-browser is one component in Windows 98/2000 Quick access to important information interactive maps, combined with other types of information Easy to tailor applications for a certain user category COM-technology admits expansion and/or re-use of an application © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000

28. To Create a GIS Website The basic query is: Who is the user/what is the application supposed to support? Subsequent queries: Internet and/or Intranet-application? Is the purpose commercial or ”public service”? Which is the requested functionality? – will heavily affect the design of the user interface Are the users skilled GIS-workers ? What about the entitlement to publish maps on internet? © M S GIS & Mapping, 2000
