24. Permanent Committee on Cadastre, Irish Presidency20 June 2013 National Spatial Referencing Infrastructure Provides Ireland with a consistent authoritative spatial referencing system for the integration and management of national spatial information. –Common RW objects, unique ID’s referencing, consistent geographic positioning Prime2 is a foundation for a modern National Spatial Data Infrastructure. Provides users with high quality high intelligence reference data in an easy to use industry standard data format. The standards based intelligent data storage model enables the generation of products and services via data schemas designed for user requirements. The Prime2 data model enables INSPIRE Directive compliance. Provides solution developers and data integrators with a robust framework for integrating 3 rd party data. Enables OSi to develop enhanced Web Services (Web Feature Services) – Benefits & Opportunities

25. Permanent Committee on Cadastre, Irish Presidency20 June 2013 National Spatial Referencing Infrastructure Prime2 Provides Flexibility & Opportunities –Theme based data management –‘Change Only’ data supply –Enhanced object intelligence –Extensible data model (surveying of new spatial information) –Supply schemas –Integration of high-resolution height model –Management / integration of 3 rd party data Merger of OSi, the Property Registration Authority and the Valuation Office Future Developments
