Census and GIS?  Census data are spatial data in it‘s nature  Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can collect, store, manage, analyse and reproduce spatial data  GIS link a data value (e.g. census data sets) to a geographical feature (e.g. enumeration area).  GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps.* *Source: DevInfo Digital Mapping Technical Note

The process steps of Census data processing Pre-Enumeration -Integration of existing paper maps -Integration of aerial or satellite imagery -Converting existing data to census data model -Updating existing data sets -Conduction planning and optimisation Enumeration - Conduction planning and optimisation - Progress review - Mobile data collection (GPS supported) Post-Enumeration - Geocoding of result sets - Data integrity checks - Systematic error analysis - Data dissemination (internally/public) - Spatially enable OLAP Analysis - Thematic Mapping - Advanced Spatial Analysis - Planning the next steps GI Systems bring benefit here and here

Nigeria Census Geoportal  National Population Commission of Nigeria (140 Mio (!) Inhabitants, Area km²)  “It has the statutory powers to collect, analyze and disseminate population/demographic data in the country”  Last Census was conducted in 2006  Post-Enumeration  Census activities are funded by EU

Nigeria Census Geoportal  Intergraph Tasks –Setting up spatially enable database (open integration with tabular census data provided by Beta Systems) –Process integration with Beta Systems Solution –Data migration of existing reference, topography data and satellite imagery –Data validation –Data documentation (metadata!) –Data dissemination by Geoportal (internally/Power User + public) –Absolutely standard driven (Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) / Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI))

Why Intergraph?  Proven, highly scalable GIS platform GeoMedia  Strength: data integration, validation, collection and analysis  Compliant to IT and GIS standards (e.g. SOA, OGC)  Leader in SDI technology  Integration with DevInfo  We are more than a software vendor, we are a solution company!
