  1. Open InteroperabilityFrom Concepts to Practical Reality Bart Hoogenraad Global Marketing Director Intergraph Mapping & Geospatial Solutions

  2. Topics • The State of our Industry today • The Importance of Industry Standards • Getting Started • GML relay

  3. The State of Our Industry Today

  4. The State of the Industry Today • Geospatial Data is a true treasure chest for organizations • It is still a largely unutilized resource

  5. The Reality • Many formats, different data models • Several databases, tiles, files • Distributed!

  6. An Organization’s Effectiveness Greatly Depends on Its Ability to Share Information! Customers Policy Planning GIS Specialists Operations

  7. A Major Challenge to the Industry • Data Availability • The right information • At the right time • In the right form

  8. The Vision • Web Services and OPEN exchange formats like GML are the key to information sharing because of the distributed nature of the data.

  9. Industry Standardsare Key • Geospatial Technology and IT must converge • Remove proprietary barriers • Migrate stovepipe solutions • Industry must make an investment in standards • Spatial Data Infrastructure • Metadata • Data access and interoperability • Data warehousing • Data management and storage • Data distribution • Application interoperability

  10. Setting Industry Standards • Is the joint responsibility of: • SOFTWARE VENDORS, because they can create the required technology • USERS, because they can ask for industry standard based solutions • DATA PROVIDERS, because they can publish their data in open interoperability standards

  11. Getting Started • Think Big • Start Small • Get Feedback • Scale Quickly • Deliver Value

  12. Thinking Big • As the only software vendor that is an OGC Strategic member we participate in more than half of the OGC initiatives including: • Open Web Services OWS 1.2 • Open Location Services • Critical Infrastructure CIPI-1 • GISD-ICP pilot South Africa • Conformance Testing - CITE

  13. Starting Small…

  14. GeoMedia Technology • Adding functionality: • GML read-only data server (validated for GML from know data providers) • GML export command • WMS adaptor • WFS adaptor (available on request)

  15. Intergraph Open Interoperability Grant • Announced during the GSDI 6 conference • $5.5 million pledged to Advance Open Interoperability • Harnessing OGC industry standards • Enabling development of Open Web Services • Making geospatial information available through GML • Enterprise-wide Benefits: • Expanded interoperability • Improved information and communication • Everybody can apply • www.intergraph.com/gis/ogc/interop.asp

  16. wmsviewer.com Public site for anyone’s use, built by Intergraph Providing a viewer to OGC-defined WMS standard interfaces Signifying our commitment to open standards and OGC Putting a face and use to data interoperability Demonstrating the power of open access through the web Everybody can join.. http://www.wmsviewer.com/

  17. Relief and roads from USA DEPHA data from Nairobi Tanzania Land Cover from Dar es Salaam Tanzania Districts from USA

  18. Deliver Value…

  19. What value? • Better data = Better decisions = Better business • Open = More Choices, Better Choices • Solutions = Productivity • Enterprise = Return on Investment • Sharing data 1 = Sharing costs and investments • Sharing data 2 = Making information available

  20. Where we began: - GIS centric What we should achieve: - Information centric Let’s stop thinking GIS product - centric! Geospatial Sphere of Influence

  21. GML Relay • “The purpose of the event is to show that interoperability based on the exchange of GML documents works.“Van Oosterom • Let’s get started…
