= AssignmentSDI : Objectives
= Create increased awareness of the benefits of using
geospatial data and tools to achieve goals for social,
economic and environmental priorities.
= Facilitate the integration and use of geospatial data to
support effective decision making.
= Coordinate the development of national policies,
standards and mechanisms and support their
implementation to ensure maintenance and updating
of geospatial data and compatibility with global
standards.
= Keep Canada at the leading edge of accessing, sharin:
and using geospatial information via the Internet.What is the CGDI?
CGDI Component
Guiding Princip
The Canada’s spatial data User and Community Drivel
infrastructure (SDI), referred
to as the Canadian Geospatial
Data Infrastructure (CGDI) is
the relevant base collection of
standards, policies,
applications, and governance
that facilitate the access, use,
integration, and preservation
of spatial data.

to develop applications that are
freely available for use.
is the foundation upon which
location-based information becomes
spatially relevant to users.
= Access through the GeoBase portal
(www.GeoBase.céGeospatial Standards
" The CGDI is built upon
international standards that ——~
allow it to work with other
infrastructures in Canada
and around the world.
* This harmonization of
standards is fundamental to
ensuring the efficient
exchange of location- based '9}
information.Technologies
= Today’s innovative geospatial and IT tools and
technologies (GPS, mobile tech, imagery, sensor
webs) provide an environment in which systems and
applications integrating location-based information
are used by millions.
= The CGDI’s open and flexible architecture
continually adapts to the rapidly evolving internet
platform.
= Interoperability is achieved by the convergence of
framework data, policies, standards and
technologies necessary to harmonize Canada’s
location-based information.Address topics related to the lifecycle of
data (i.e. collection, management,
dissemination, use).
Apply to the day-to-day business of
organizations.
Include guidelines, directives, procedures
and manuals that help facilitate access to
and use of information.24/7 digital economy paved the way for even more
competition; social and environmental issues are more
complex, global in nature
Technology and sophisticated geospatial analytical
techniques are increasing the value of data and informati
Open data will underpin new waves of productivity and
generate significant financial value and societal benefits
Transparency and access to geospatial data through tools
that enable easy discovery, sharing, downloading,
integration and interoperability is expectedSDI Performance
= Interoperability requires supportive technical and
business policies
= Reduces focus on accessing information and data,
increases capacity to USE information and data
= Serves sophisticated users.
= Web based services.
= EXAMPLE: Volunteered Geographic InformationHow do we identify and
develop geospatial policy:
= Geospatial data sharing and use.
= Conducting needs/requirements analysis through
consultation with stakeholders, users.
= Working with stakeholders to develop operational
policies, tools and resources necessary to complete
and sustain the CGDI.
= Promoting and raising awareness of geospatial policy

Open DataThe Federal Geospatial
Platform (FGP)
- Isa collaborative effort across 21 departments and
agencies to fundamentally change the way we share,
use & manage geospatial assets to support effective
program delivery & service to Canadians.
- Enable the Public Service to buy once, use many
times, and search once, find what you need - pulling
separate data sources together that when combined
are greater than the parts.FGP provides the ability to integrate, and
visualize multiple layers of Triple “A”

Alignment of cross departmental business requirements , proce:
(e.g. Policies), and principles (e.g. Standards) as they relate to
management and dissemination of spatial data through the FGP.
Data Architecture
Prioritises data sets, inventories data models, and defines data
requirements for the platform.
Technical Architecture
Describes and documents platform application requirements,
interoperability, and associated technology implications (e.g. Data
visualization, catalogue, repository, web services, analysis).
Infrastructure Architecture
Identifies enterprise hardware requirements to meet the needs
identified and supplies a cloud based collaborative development
environment.Conclusions
Canada has an operational SDI which is being used
to support organizational operations and decision-
making.
Emphasis has now shifted to addressing some of the
key challenges to the use of the CGDI and geospatial
information more generally, and the impacts of
emerging technologies, through the development of
operational policies.Group Assignments
