3. 3 Why we need TGOS? It is very difficult for end-users to get complete, real time geospatial data from various agencies. Therefore, Information Center of Ministry of the Interior constructed the NGIS Data Warehouse (also called Taiwan Geospatial One-Stop Portal, or TGOS) in order to: ––I––Integrate spatial data from different organizations. ––R––Reduce redundancy in data construction and archives. ––F––Facilitate data sharing and supply of NGIS.

4. 4 Introduction to TGOS the TGOS Portal developed by the Information Center, it is to provide the e-commerce services of processing geospatial data supply. In 2003, the TGOS Portal developed by the Information Center, it is to provide the e-commerce services of processing geospatial data supply. Since 2007, with the apprehension of the needs for value- added applications among various organizations, the Information Center have been advocating the web service concept and integrated process technology to expedite the application and development of national geographic information system, with the introduction of SOA (Service- Oriented Architecture) for TGOS portal function enhancement; As well as the utilizing of enterprise Web 2.0 structure and standardized service interface for various sources of integrated service elements to build up the distribution of geospatial data and the value-added applications.

5. 5 Introduction to TGOS In response to the recent expansion of system user interface, information standards and physical operation models as results of information technology and GIS advancement, the Information Center revised and integrated TGOS portal in 2008. It also drafted TWSMP 1.0 metadata standard in June 2007, and developed web version as well as standard-alone version of metadata editing system so as to be compliant with ISO 19139 XML schemas. This system is to be used by geospatial data suppliers for the purpose of upgrading efficiency of metadata editing and importing and to establish sharing environment for NGIS geospatial data distribution.

33. 33 Present Status of Partnership Present Status of Partnership Promotion The Information Center has been assisting and inviting the central and local governments to be the partners at large scale since 2008; Presently, there are 38 organizations and 526 categories of geospatial data participated Each partner could choose its own level of partnership, according to its system readiness and environment development such as that for metadata search, web publish service, application process service, file copy service, logistics channel provider, and payment channel provider, etc.

34. 34 compliance of Partners Setting up the distribution standards and pricing policy of geospatial data that a partner is deemed responsible and authorized. Maintaining and updating geospatial data and metadata that a partner is deemed responsible and authorized to notify and upgrade TGOS portal upon the occurrence of revision. Registering geospatial data or service to TGOS portal.

35. 35 compliance of Partners Uploading metadata file to TGOS portal. Storing geospatial data file to TGOS portal. Setting up the software and hardware platforms in line with the TGOS portal, in order to publish WMS or WFS. Processing the operation of review, logistics and cash flow for geospatial data distribution.

36. 36 Problems and Difficulties for Partners It is disappointing that so far there are quite a few partners are unable to augment partnership other than metadata due to incapable technical environment for Internet WMS publish and inadequate applicable geospatial data distribution schemes; thus it is one of the important tasks of future partnership promotion and advancement.

37. 37 Functions and Resources of the Information Center Functions –Training partners for the operation of TGOS portal. –Setting up SOP for partnership administration. –Monitoring regular Internet services provided by partners and requesting for fast recovery upon any instance of defect. –Maintaining normal operation of TGOS portal. –Coordinating activities and promotion for geospatial data distribution.

38. 38 Functions and Resources of the Information Center Resources –Providing technical inquiries and assistance for partnership administration. –Initiating the regulations for geospatial data distribution procedures as reference. –Setting up sales channels for geospatial data. –developing the priority list for subsidizing the local government’s geospatial data projects.

39. 39 The Benefits of TGOS Portal Setting up simultaneous establishment of geospatial data management mechanism within organizations. Establishing national geospatial data sharing mechanism and channels. Resource-raising for maintenance of geospatial data according to the principle that data is of price value thus ought to be user paid.

41. 41 Current Development of TGOS There are 38 organizations and 526 categories of geospatial data to join the TGOS portal. Introduce the concepts of Web Services technology and use Service - Oriented Architecture (SOA) to reinforce and expand TGOS functions.

42. 42 Service-Oriented Architecture （ SOA ） Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a collection of services that communicate with each other while supporting the needs of software users. The services have a platform-independent interface so the service may be used on any OS and in any language. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solve the compatibility problem of information system, allow user to save large amounts of construction and maintenance costs, resulting in value added applications.

43. 43 Service-Oriented Architecture （ SOA ） The utilization model of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is based on three roles: the Service Broker, the Service Provider, and the Service Requester. Service Broker Service Provider Find Bind Publish Service Requester

44. 44 Future Development of TGOS Continue the integration of spatial data and partnership. Expand the system functions of the TGOS portal. Establish the value added platform. Promote the efficiency of the TGOS portal operation.
