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

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!
