• Brazil is a federation composed of 26 States, one Federal district (which contains the capital city, Brasília) and 5570 Municipalities.
BRAZILIAN NSDI (INDE)
• In Brazil, the Decree no 6.666 of Nov 27th, 2008 (DOU, Nov 28th,
2008, p. 57), establishes the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and defines it as the integrated set of
technologies, policies, procedures and coordination mechanisms and monitoring, standards and agreements, necessary to facilitate and organize the generation, storage, access,
sharing, dissemination and use of geospatial data from federal, state, district and municipal sources (BRAZIL, 2008).
‐> ONLY Mandatory for Federal Government
BRAZILIAN NSDI (INDE)
Cycle I: from August, 2009 to December, 2010;
Cycle II: from 2011 to 2014;
Cycle III: from 2015 to 2020.
•Cycle I ‐
expected that all physical infrastructure and
informational of data, metadata and services required for
publishing, searching and accessing data and GI produced
by certain institutions of the Federal.
•Cycle II ‐
consolidation in the federal government and its
extension to other levels of government.
•Cycle III ‐
expected that the NSDI has permeated all
productive sectors of the society, besides the government,
and have consolidated itself as a search reference,
exploration and access of geospatial data and metadata in
Brazil.

ACESSING DEMAND –
STATE GOVERNMENT LEVEL
ACESSING DEMAND – PRIVATE SECTOR
• 53 private companies ‐
are members of Aerosurveying National Companies Association (ANEA). Among then, 12 are located in Paraná
State, the second largest state in this sector.
There are an estimated number of 800 technicians working on these companies.
• In other companies, we considered professionals registered in the Regional Architecture and Engi‐neering Council (CREA‐PR) in related fields: Cartographic Engineers, Surveying
Engineers, Environmental Engineers, Geographers and technicians in Surveying, which adds more 1178 professionals.
• Total estimated: 2000 technicians in private sector.
ACESSING DEMAND – STUDENTS AT UFPR
• Undergraduate programs as Cartographic Engineering (229), Environmental Engineering (260) and Geography (297) ‐> Total of 786 students
ACESSING DEMAND
• 522 – Local Authorities
• 201 –
State Level Government
• 2000 – Private Sector Professionals
• 786 – Students
• TOTAL ~ 3500 persons to capacitate
• Open Source software to: geospatial data production, geoservices
creation and publishing, metadata management and dissemination, geographic databases and
interactive thematic mapping creation.
• Open Standards: ISO TC/211, OGC and NSDI‐specific standards (Brazilian Metadata Profile, National Topographic Mapping Mod‐el – ET‐EDGV, among others).
• Open Data: legislation, data sources, formats and mash‐ups.
• General SDI introduction.
The option for online teaching is considered important, analyzing basically the structure existent, the urgency of the matter and the demand.
CONTENT AND FORMAT
ICA – OS GEO Labs Network
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo)
and the International Cartographic
Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis
collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS
software and data.
AIMS:
• to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and
Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open‐source geospatial software
technologies, training and expertise;
• to provide support for building‐up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and
training materials;
• To joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider
participation globally etc

•The NSDI is now perceived as essential to Brazilian government and society. One important obstacle achieving the goals established in the Action Plan is to have a well‐prepared
workforce in order to produce, publish and use the geospatial information accordingly to SDI principles.
•Since much of the data is created and handled at local and regional level, and Brazil has a great regional diversity, the network of high education institutes is one suitable option to act in the different states bringing NSDI national outlined contents to each local reality and
examples.
•The distance learning techniques can support this development to
be even more distributed and in the speed needed to have the initiative operational in a near future.
•ICA‐OS Geo Open Geospatial Labs network can be a great opportunity to help Brazilian universities to prepare for this challenge and contributing to the nodes not feel that are starting from scratch but learning with each other experiences.
