CRC-SI Soapbox Presentation on SDI 2.0

SDI 2.0

INTO THE 21ST CENTURY

MAURITS VAN DER VLUGTSpatial Information strategist

OVERVIEW

SDI as we know it SDI 2.0 Examples Challenges

SDI 1.0 - AS WE KNOW IT

BUT… NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL

Expensive

Slow

Supply Driven

Plenty of YAPs – but no users

SO WHAT ABOUT SDI 2.0?

SOME BUZZWORDS

Web 2.0 / Social Media Crowd Sourcing – Volunteered Geo-

Information (VGI) User Generated Content Augmented Reality Geotagging And many more…

The “[...] usage of geographical techniques and tools used for

personal and community activities or for utilization by a non-expert

group of users”

NEO-GEOGRAPHY?

The “[...] usage of geographical techniques and tools used for

personal and community activities or for utilization by a non-expert

group of users”

EXAMPLE: OPEN STREETMAP

HARNESSING THE LONG TAIL OF GEODATA

TOURISTS AND LOCALS

KEY DIFFERENCES

Users are Producers and there are plenty of them!

Decentralisation of “Authority” E.g. Open Streetmap, Wikipedia

Quality is in the eye of the beholder The Internet is the Marketplace

Fast, Cheap, Demand driven!

From Andrew Turner, Fortius One

HOW NEOGEOGRAPHERS SEE GIS-ERS

They don’t

From Andrew Turner, Fortius One

CHALLENGES

Ignore at our peril Where does this leave government? Next big things

The long-tail model of Spatial Data Collection From YAPs to ‘fine-grained‘APIs for mash-up purposes R&D: Validation & Filtering R&D: What Licencing and Business models work?

SUMMARY

SDI as we know it? “so last century!”

SDI 2.0 Driven by Web 2.0 and Neogeography No more distinction between users and

producers Harnessing the long tail Dramatically shifting role for government

Ignore at our peril!
