3. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 NSDI version 1.0 Based on INSPIRE Legislation: Most EU countries have implemented the INSPIRE directive in their national legislations Business models: Mainly G2G (Goverment-to- government) Network services: Up and running, more or less Geoportal: A large number exists Data provision: Currently the main focus

4. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 NSDI version 2.0 Increase value to the user Increase involvement of private business and citizens NSDI monitoring at macro level (INSPIRE reporting, Balanced scorecard, SDI readiness index, SDI maturity index,...) NSDI monitoring at micro level (service quality, data quality, investment analysis,...)

5. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 Some statements about quality “The characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs ” (American society for quality) “There is always another method for making a product cheaper and better” (Kaizen concept) Quality assurance of geospatial data production is mainly seen as a cost (Eurogeographics) Investment decisions requires proper quality management (Self-evident)

6. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 Cartographic quality Readability Esthetic Basic measurements (distance, direction, area) Well established QA routines for production of paper maps

7. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 Geospatial data quality Data quality elements Accuracy Completeness Consistency Currentness Producer oriented

14. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 The quality of data and services are essential key issues for further development of (investment in) a NSDI Data quality New business models and data processing streams requires new quality assurance routines Design of QA routines extremely important (risk minimization, parameters, acceptance thresholds) Service quality INSPIRE network services – ESDIN test suite Web applications – Usability tests required Quality in short

15. II Annual Conference of the CIS and Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 Partnership with local and international expertise Solving short term issues (implementation, development etc) Strategic guidance Capacity building The role of Swedesurvey

17. II Annual Conference of the CIS and the Baltic Countries - Moscow Sept 2011 Conclusions NSDI version 1.0 based on INSPIRE A strategy for NSDI v 2.0 need to adress the private sector and citizens Quality of services and data are essential parts of such a strategy We have for several years worked on SDI, regional development and business development – experiences we wish to share with you
