GIS DATA

CHALLENGE

5

Stimulate innovation, business activities and improved public

services by improving access to Open GI Data - especially for SMES

Data: disharmonized, scattered across different

domains, difficult to access, and, in the case of

VGI, not validated.

Technology: Spatial and non-spatial data needs to

be combined/ linked in order to extract value and

increase accuracy.

Innovation: Businesses and other stakeholders

need easier APIs and GUI for accessing and

analyzing data and new services to more easily

derive accurate insights and apply knowledge in a

real world context.

THREE KEY GOALS

Data Challenge: Harmonise GI and open data from a wide variety of

sources

Technology Challenge: Combine GI and open data to extract new

information and insights

Innovation Challenge: Provide tools and skills for using GI and LBS

in rapid service creation
