Status and Future Directions for Global Map

Global Map is an operational global spatial data infrastructure that provides consistent and open access to digital geographic datasets for decision-making on environment and sustainable development issues. This article discusses the status, future directions, and challenges of the Global Map project.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Status and Future Directions for Global Map Presentation to the 10th PCGIAP Meeting Bangalore, India January 31st 2004 D.R.F. Taylor Chair ISCGM Distinguished Research Professor Carleton University, Ottawa Canada E-Mail: Fraser_Taylor@carleton.ca www.iscgm.org iscgm.org

  2. Global Map is an operational Global Spatial Data Infrastructure for decision making on environment and sustainable development issues. iscgm.org

  3. A spatial data infrastructure is an information system based on geographic location to organise, discover, analyse and apply information for policy decisions and actions. iscgm.org

  4. An SDI consists of the following elements: • Geospatial Framework and Content Data • Metadata • Clearinghouses • Services • Standards • Partnerships • Policies (GSDI Association 2003) iscgm.org

  5. What is Global Map? • Digital geographic dataset of • Global coverage • Consistent specifications • Worldwide open distribution iscgm.org

  6. Philosophy of Global Map National mapping organizations will participate voluntarily and make data available for use. Each mapping organization will be responsible for providing data of their territory. National mapping organizations can provide data for a global, fundamental, consistent database for research and decision making. iscgm.org

  7. Global Data Sets for Global Environment • DEM: GTOPO30 (Global 30 second elevation data set) > DTED-1 (Digital Terrain Elevation Data Level –1) • Geography: DCW (Digital Chart of the World) > VMAP (Vector Map) Level 0 • Land use/cover: GLCC (Global Land Cover Characterization) = IGBP- DIS’s Land Cover iscgm.org

  8. Global Map Specifications • Spatial resolution: 1km, or 1:1,000,000 • 8 Layers • Vector • Transportation, Boundaries, Drainage, Population Centres • Raster • Elevation, Vegetation, Land Cover, Land Use • Open and available online iscgm.org

  9. Organization of the ISCGM • Member countries and organizations Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, France, India, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Niger, South Africa, United Kingdom, USA, EuroGeographics, SCAR • Liaison organizations UN Statistics Division, UN Cartographic Section, UN Environment Program, UN University, ICA, ISO/TC211 etc. iscgm.org

  10. Current Participation Status Participation status of countries and regions: • 18 countries already released Global Map Version 1.0. • 130 countries and regions are participating in the Global Mapping project. • This corresponds to about 83% of the global land area coverage. iscgm.org

  11. This map is for the purpose of reference and not authorized by any organization. not yet participating in the project

  12. Coverage Ratio to Land Area 83% of the globe is covered by Global Mapping Project iscgm.org

  13. Partnership with other organizations • ISCGM has liaison status or communication with many geographic information related organizations/activities such as: • Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) • European Umbrella Organization of Geographic Information (EUROGI) • EuroGeographics • Geographic Information for Sustainable Development (GISD) • Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) • International Cartographic Association (ICA) • International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) • International Standardization Organization / Technical Committee 211 (ISO/TC211) • Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific (PCGIAP) • Permanent Committee on Spatial Data Infrastructure for the Americas (PC-IDEA) • Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) • United Nations Geographic Information Working Group (UNGIWG) • United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Committee on Development Information (CODI) • ESRI launched Global Map / GSDI Grant Program, in Memory of John E. “Jack” Estes iscgm.org

  14. Some Recent Developments and Challenges I Challenge • Promote Further Participation Response • Global Mapping Forum 2003 – Okinawa Declaration • Cambridge Conference 2003 • Mapping Africa for Africans 2003 – Johannesburg Statement • Revision of Membership Rules 2003 • Include Small Nations by Accepting Data at 1:250,000 iscgm.org

  15. Some Recent Developments and Challenges II Challenge • Increase Applications and use of Global Map Response • Make Global Map Data More Easily Available on the Web (Creation of a Web Portal) • Encourage Presentation of Global Map Applications – Global Mapping Forum 2003 • Global Map as a Framework for National Spatial Data Infrastructures EG. Brazil iscgm.org

  16. Some Recent Developments and Challenges III Challenge • Revise Global Map Specifications Response • Data Accepted at 1:250,000 as well as 1:1 million • ISCGM Working Group Two Chaired by India to Report on Required Technical Changes • New Global Raster Dataset Development ISCGM working group 4 (Dr. Tateishi Japan) Ground Truth Data Collected by NMOs and Classify Satellite Images with the GT Data iscgm.org

  17. Some Recent Developments and Challenges IV Challenge • Promote Partnerships Response • Develop New Partnerships (EG. UN 1:1 million data set for Africa and Middle-East; CEOS) • Enhance Existing Partnerships (EG. ISPRS and Raster Data Set Development) • ISCGM Now Member of the Joint Board of the Sister Societies • ISCGM Seeks Ex-Officio Board Membership of GSDI Association iscgm.org

  18. Some Recent Developments and Challenges V Challenge • Capacity Building Response • Group Training Course “Global Mapping” by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) • Global Mapping Seminar Nairobi 2003 in Cooperation with Jack Estes Global Mapping/GSDI Grant Program by ESRI • Decentralise Jack Estes Grant Training iscgm.org

  19. Conclusion • Global Map is a significant contribution to the implementation of Agenda 21 under the worldwide collaborative efforts by respective countries iscgm.org

  20. “By having complete Global Map coverage by 2007 we will provide a spatial framework to facilitate the actions of the countries of the world both individually and collectively to conserve our fragile environment and make the development of our societies more viable and sustainable for future generations” Okinawa Declaration July 2003 iscgm.org
