OSi: Enabling Data Integration & Sharing

30 May 2013 IMGS Customer Day 2013

Data Integration & Data Sharing Challenges

Hugh Mangan

Business & Marketing Manager




From OSi perspective:

1. Making the data more useable – Standardisation and quality of spatial information

2. Making the data more accessible – On-line access to spatial information

3. Enabling the integration and sharing of national spatial information – Implementation of national GI Portal infrastructure

What has OSi done to address these challenges?

Data Integration & Data Sharing Challenges




Agenda

• Organisational Update

– Merger

– Economic Value Study

• Key Initiatives Update

– Accessible: Web Services

– Integration: INSPIRE Portal (GeoPortal.ie)

– Useable: Prime 2 Update

• Prime 2 Network Data Demo by IMGS




Organisational Update




• New OSi CEO (Colin Bray) - triggers: – Steering Group recently formed to drive implementation of the merger, as agreed by

Government.

• Oct ‘12: to be implemented by end 2013.

• Government recognises major opportunity may arise from combining the data sets and information held by the three organisations.

• Three professions, supported by common admin & IT functions.

• 150 / 250 staff involved in production activities (60%)

• 30 / 250 professional teams of surveying staff (12%)

• 20 / 250 staff in IT activities (8%)

• Two leased aircraft/pilot with OSi crews

• Information recorded on computer tablets and uploaded automatically to database

Survey Data Collection Expertise




• Digital data from 1824 - 2012

• We manage 500 Terra Bytes of data, and our data holding is increasing by 50 Terra Bytes per annum.

• European reference site for Oracle Spatial Technology

• Data centers in Phoenix Park, Regional Offices and Amazon Cloud

Data Management Expertise




Economic Value Study

Study to provide empirical information on the impact of current geospatial

data industry on government (central and local) and the users and

distributors of the data / software / services in the business sector and in the

community at large.




Economic Value Reports Elsewhere

• The Value of Geospatial Information to Local Public Service Delivery in England and Wales (July 2010):

– Real output increased by £222 million as a result of the productivity benefits

– The average annualised cost to benefit cost ratio of using geospatial information in local government is around 1:2.5

– Leads to a 0.20 per cent increase in productivity for local government.

– Government revenue from taxation was £45 million higher, stimulates economy.

• In Australia the value has been determined at Au$1.37 billion

• New Zealand has estimated NZ$1 billion

• For the first time the Irish industry will have a known economic reference point by end 2013 !




Making the Data more Accessible




OSi has developed on-line Web Services

• Award winning web based mapping services that allow users to connect directly to OSi’s national map database online

• Data can be used in standard Geographical Information System (GIS) software, or it can be used in web or mobile applications.

• Standards based with open format

• Designed to deliver rapid, easy access to map data, historic data and aerial imagery

Making the Data more Accessible




LPT Project

From service request to

launch = 6 weeks

Up to 60m hits per day !

Max requests on launch

day 166,000 / per min.

Most used authoritative

web mapping service

that we are aware of.

Managed Service for Revenue Commissioners




Web Services Key Updates

• Develop WMTS (Web Map Tile Service)

• Develop GeoRights Mgmt and Monitoring

• Re-design basemaps (from Prime 2 data)

• Develop WFS (Web Feature Services)

– Allows requests for spatial features across the web using platform-independent calls

• Develop Data Download services

• Further Develop AWS presence




Enabling the integration and sharing of national spatial information




• Member of the ISDI Steering Group

• Member of the ISDI Technical Working Group

• Member of the Public Sector CIO Council ‘Spatial Information Working Group’

• Providers of the national geodetic referencing systems & surveying infrastructure

• Providers of the national Core Reference data

• Providing a data interoperability platform

OSi Involvement in SDI




Key Principles

1. The needs of citizens and businesses are at the centre of eGovernment.

2. Public services should be delivered through the most appropriate channels.

3. eGovernment should reduce the administrative burden for citizens and businesses.

4. eGovernment projects should reflect Business Process Improvements, delivering demonstrable efficiency, effectiveness and Value for Money gains.

5. Public Bodies should work to ensure that the online channel is the most attractive option for customers.

eGovernment Strategy 2012 - 2015




Use Digital Mapping & GIS

Share Location Data

Unique Location ID

Use Postcodes

eGovernment 2012 – 2015 Strategy




• OSi is developing and managing the INSPIRE Portal for Ireland

• Managed service for the Department of Environment

• Aligned with the actions in the ‘Supporting Public Service Reform eGovernment Strategy 2012 – 2015’

• INSPIRE Portal Services

– Discovery, View, Download, Transformation




Enabling the Integration and Sharing of

National Spatial Information

INSPIRE Portal – ‘Roles and Responsibilities’

• OSi

– Management of the INSPIRE portal for Ireland

– Automated data compliance validation

– Geo-Rights Management

• Department of Environment

– Developing INSPIRE standards for Ireland

– Promoting INSPIRE compliance

– Ensuring public body INSPIRE compliance

– INSPIRE monitoring & reporting to Commission




INSPIRE Workflow




Increased Efficiency

• Cost efficient solution for the Irish INSPIRE technical delivery architecture

Centralised Compliance Management

• INSPIRE compliance testing can be controlled and monitored centrally

Common Approach

• Easier to manage & coordinate a common approach to INSPIRE Network Services

Data Management

• INSPIRE Unique ID’s & an ISDI data registry will be simpler to organise & maintain

Shared Knowledge

• Increased organisational cooperation/shared knowledge/know-how among public sector organisations with the same legislative requirements increases efficiency of service delivery

Benefits of Shared Service Approach




Enabling the Integration and Sharing of National Spatial Information

GeoPortal.ie:

• Location Framework for Ireland

– Providing the management and technical infrastructure needed to deliver authoritative, interoperable, geospatial reference data

• Built on OSi Spatial Infrastructure

– Coordinate referencing

– Topographic reference data

– Unique object referencing

– Boundary polygon referencing

– Address referencing

http://copernicus.eu/index.php




Making the Data more Useable




• Seamless, scale-independent, Object model

• Rigorously based on industry standards

– OGC Simple Feature Model, ISO19115, GDF Roads, ISO CityGML Level 2, GML & OGC compliant web services

• Links objects using persistent ID’s (GUID’s)

• Uses ‘Form’ & ‘Function’ classification

• Enabling integration of 3rd party information.

• Builds relationships – buildings / way

• Network Connectivity – roads & surface water

• Capability to store & manage 3D information

Making the Data More Useable

OSi has developed next generation national core reference data

• The most significant revision to OSi’s data creation and management practices in over 30 years

• Represents nearly 7 years of effort from development of conceptual model to completion of data re-engineering

• Over 100 man years of data enhancement
