No spatial data infrastructure

5. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 5 Framework for E-services „AAA implementation started in 2005“ The aim is the a harmonised framework directive for implementation of a European spatial data infrastructure (ESDI) INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe INSPIRE GI-standards GI-specifications SDI Germany

6. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 6 Requirements for an ESDI A European spatial data infrastructure basically needs (strategic view) Harmonized geodetic reference Metadata for discovery of existing data Harmonized geodata and geo-services Bundle geodata and geo-services within one European portal Handle access rights and licensing policies for all users Controlling and monitoring of the implementation within the EU member states Methodology for building up a ESDI (considering process, consensus process, decision making etc.) Keep data where it is collected and maintained and make it accessible for other using geo-web services (WMS, WFS etc.) All these issues are addressed by the INSPIRE framework directive and the implementation rules

12. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 12 Model-driven Approach is promoted for a ESDI This and the following recommendations are listed in the Technical Report CEN/TR 15449 “Geographic information - Standards, specifications, technical reports and guidelines, required to implement Spatial Data Infrastructures”

13. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 13 Data modelling as a basis for a SDI A simple overlaying of maps in the internet do not need a object-oriented data model but sifficient search and presentation functionalities (web map services) In future the requirements for geo- information will increase, that means geoinformation must be (automatically) readable Requirements  Standardised and readable description of the digital content using a data model  Internet services that can handle geoinformation in the internet (search, find, interpret, process, transfer und present  web feature services)  A spatial data infrastructure thererfore needs web functionalities as well as standardised data models for describing all geoinformation (reference data and thematic)

14. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 14 Preconditions for a SDI (data modelling view) Model-driven approach for describing the data Semantic harmonization of the existing data as far as possible and sufficient (feature catalogues) Application of the ISO standards for data modelling and encoding Implementation of metadata information systems for discovery and access to the data Implementation of interoperable web services for data access distribution (ISO, OGC) Operational issues (registries etc.) Legal issues (data sharing, IPR etc.) Pricing AAA data model Contribution of the AAA Model to the European SDI

18. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 18 Cadastral data model described with UML

19. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 19 Unified Modelling Language (UML) Application schemas are documented by using a conceptual schema language. Such a language may have a well defined graphical notation (such as UML for class diagrams) but also a machine-readable format. The use of UML according to ISO/TS 19103 is promoted as an ESDI conceptual schema language. Parcels, Location, Geodetic Points Owner, Property Rights Houses Land Use Buildings, Facilities and other Facts Relief, DTM Legal Classification, Administration Areas User Profile Migration Objects

20. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 20 Consequent use of International Standards Recommendation: ISO 19109 and referred standards are promoted as ESDI rules for specifying data structures and semantics. 19103 Conceptual schema language (UML) 19109 Rules for application schema 19109 Rules for application schema 19110 Feature catalogue 19110 Feature catalogue 19107 – 19111 Geometry, CRS 19112 – 19115 Metadata 19107 – 19111 Geometry, CRS 19112 – 19115 Metadata AAA application schema NAS (XML-Schema) NAS (XML-Schema) Feature Catalogue (XML) Feature Catalogue (XML) Feature Catalogue (HTML, RTF) Feature Catalogue (HTML, RTF) 19118 Level 1 19136 (GML) profile

Bavarian Ministry of Finance 26 Geo Web Services All web services are implemented under consideration of the activities of SDI-Germany AdV defined a profile of the Web Map Server specification, determine some further definitions to fill degrees of freedom, e.g:- CRS - Raster format - etc. A WFS-G (Gazetteer service) will be implementated for providing coordinates for buildings A catalogue service for discovering and harvesting metadata will be implementated based on ebRIM or CSW DE profile For operational implementation of the SDI Germany a registry will be applied For examples see www.gdi.bayern.dewww.gdi.bayern.de

30. Bavarian Ministry of Finance 30 Conclusions The AAA data model with the basic schema offers a thematic- independent and generic model framework that can be a baseline for modelling of other thematic domain data models. That will help to standardise the geoinformation in Germany. A SDI for geoinformation (not just geodata) needs an exact and transparent definition of the sharable data. Therefore the same methodology as defined with the AAA data model can be used. Doing this a national geo database can be established. The AdV offers support by using the UML tools for defining the data model and deriving the data exchange interface. Specific guidelines have been published on the AdV home page. The AdV guaranties maintenance at least until 2012. The success of the AAA data model bases on the consequent use of international GI standards from ISO. Geoservices will help to provide cadastral information and can be integrated within variable applications of e-government solution.
