14. www.fugro.com Mind shift in use of geospatial data This development has also changed the way users and professionals expect to work with geospatial data. They want their information to be available at any time and at any place. They also want to update the data if needed.

15. www.fugro.com SDI Hierarchy SDI Hierarchy (Rajabifart 2001) Less detailed data More detailed data Traditionally, national governments established SDIs to distribute datasets that they considered important. However, these SDIs are mostly one way traffic, and, more importantly, do not contain the data that is of most importance.

16. www.fugro.com Big data Source: IDC's Digital Universe Study (December 2012) From now to 2020, the digital universe will grow by a factor of 300, from 130 exabytes to 40,000 exabytes, or 40 trillion gigabytes From now until 2020, the digital universe will about double every two years.

17. www.fugro.com Large effect at the local SDI level The information that is truly dynamic and immediately affects people’s daily life is at a regional and local level. Municipalities for instance maintain tons of useful data that is of great interest to both professionals and citizens. However, access to these data is typically difficult and restricted to a limited user base. Data is stored in proprietary formats of vendors that are not compatible to each other.

19. www.fugro.com We propose VISOR We propose a regional spatial data infrastructure, called VISOR. VISOR serves the data within a municipality while matching the user expectations mentioned before. VISOR improves the efficiency within a municipal organisation. VISOR prepares governments to the Open Data future, the next big step in a democratised industry.

24. www.fugro.com Conclusion SDIs are just too valuable at regional/local level. SDI democratization is bottom-up, starting from the local level. Tremendous level of applied science and practical experience available within commercial companies. Suggestion to academia: Involve businesses in SDI implementation. Develop standards from local SDI level perceptive.
