The context
FP-5 - IST
Cross-Programme activity
Cross-programme themes are the most
practical manifestations of both the integrated
nature of the Information Society
Technologies (IST) Programme and of the
underlying convergence of information
processing, communications and media
2
The sources
A strategic view of GIS research and
technology development for Europe
5 FP - Proposed GI RTD activities in IST
GISDATA documents
US documents from NSF, UCGIS, …
3
The challenges (1)
GI share Information Society challenges
EU policy have impact on the territory
The accessing countries have to build
their infrastructure
The need for mastering information: the
Kosovo example
The need for geographic information
infrastructure
4
The challenges (2)
GI is a mixed economy
interaction between public and private sector
need to better understand GI economy
Increasing need for timely and accurate
information for decision process
The number of GI databases increases
dramatically, but not the knowledge
5
The challenges (3)
GI is cross-discipline
All disciplines face common problems
Needs for a common solution
6
Definition of EGII
EGII: European Geographic Information
Infrastructure
It is not an isolated approach
Europe should be the last
EGII is based on several components
7
EGII components
Political - legal
funding
regulations
Technical infrastructure
reference data, standards, interoperability
Organisation, a platform
How do we organise GI in Europe?
Research
8
what are priorities, specificities?
CPA 5: New Geographic
information society
A European plan for research to face the
European challenge, integrating GI into
the Information Society
“To contribute to the establishment of a
European Geographic Information
Infrastructure based on a large scale,
heterogeneous and distributed collection
of geo-spatial data and services”
9
GI system engineering
focus on new models, metaphor, concepts
and use of technology, including GNSS,
should promote the general accessibility,
usability and acceptability of GI
10
socio-economics
and
political aspects of GI
Work should also
ownership issues
11
cover
legal
and
applications
Technology
testbeds,
and
full-scale
demonstrations
Trials on robustness and stability of GI-based
systems,
development of new interface paradigms,
creation
of
enduring
information
environments for real-world problem solving
the involvement of large user groups.
12
4 main research domains
GI systems engineering
data visualisation and management tools
spatial analysis, DSS
Socio-economic and political aspects
13
Part 2: links with other KA
GI tools, techniques, methods to support
other KA
A common solution for common problems
14
GI systems engineering
methods
and
background
tools
concept, interoperability
to integrate GI into IT
data generalisation
15
-
theoretical
Data
visualisation
management tools
data integration
indexing technologies
large scale databases
Data warehousing
Data mining technologies
Focus to non-expert users
Real time data access
16
and
Spatial analysis - DSS
focus on application
Demonstration projects
17
Socio-economy - political
aspects
opportunities
to
better
understand
interaction between sectoral and regional
policies
to better understand GI market economy
to assess needs for awareness and
training
to assess the impact of new technologies
