Integrating Marine Information and Products using the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) Patrice Cousineau Fisheries and Oceans Canada Marine Environmental Data Service International Conference on Marine Biodiversity Data Management Hamburg, Germany 29 November – 1 December 2004

Presentation Outline  National Registry of Aquatic Animal Health (NRAAH)  DFO GeoPortal / GeoBrowser  CGDI / GeoConnections  Possible Next Steps

NRAAH - Overview Objective: Healthy and productive aquatic resources Components:  International Trade  Certification and Regulatory Control  Hazard Identification / Risk Assessment  Quality Assurance and Control  Emergency Response / Contingency Planning  Surveillance and Zoning

NRAAH – Zoning Requirements  Record presence/absence of notifiable pathogens  Create management zones (infected, pathogen-free and surveillance) based on biological, physical and geographical characteristics of each pathogen and its susceptible hosts  Protect and maintain pathogen-free zones through regulatory control and targeted surveillance programs based on risk assessment  Make zones freely available to the general public

NRAAH - System Architecture  Distributed database and transactions  Filterable data layers  Web map server  Graphical features editor  Thick/thin web browsers  Discovery service  Role-based security  Auditing and synchronization

NRAAH Web Application  Sample date and geographic location  Presence/absence of pathogens  Number/type of specimens examined  Laboratory contact information  Case history tracking

NRAAH Web Application Pt. 2  Powerful database query engine  Intuitivepaged list navigation  Intuitive paged list navigation  Enhanced sorting and filtering

Graphical Feature Editor (GFE)  Selectable map layers  Capability to create, edit or delete zones for any pathogen  Snap-to point editing  Point locations can also be entered manually

GeoBrowser  Pre-defined views for each pathogen  Clickable map objects link to more details  Scale-dependant map features in legend  Separate layer for foundation data, zones and case results

Web Map Service (WMS)

Web-Based Mapping  Display multiple layers of geographic data within a single web application  Support for raster, vector, and other data  Query and update information  Discover, access and retrieve views from multiple servers

CGDI - Architecture Applications U.S. NSDI European GII Australian SDI Other SDI International SDIs Data Providers Services LIO MGDI AltaLIS Other Canadian SDIs LDBC

CGDI - Standards & Protocols  Visualization: Web Map Service (WMS)  Presentation: Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD)  Storage: Web Map Context (WMC)  Manipulation: Web Feature Service (WFS)  Encoding: Geography Markup Language (GML)  Query: Filter Encoding  Access: GeoData Discovery Service (Catalogue)  Description: Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM)

CGDI - Discovery Portal

Possible Next Steps  Hosting of a Web Map Server and geospatial database at Marine Environmental Data Service.  Adding an embedded map visualization component into the NRAAH web application.  Providing on-the-fly mapping of user query results into the NRAAH web application.  Loading of all historical health data and establish management zones for every listed pathogen.  Partnering with NOAA and USDA to integrate US aquatic animal health data in the CGDI.
