What is SDI ?

▪ Spatial Data Infrastructure


▪The SDI provides a basis for spatial data discovery, evaluation, and application
for users and providers within all levels of Government, the commercial sector,
the non-profit sector, academia, and citizens in general.
▪Spatial data infrastructure involves the technology, policies, standards, and
human resources necessary to acquire, process, store, distribute, and improve
the utilization of geospatial data, services, and other digital resources.
▪The emergence of spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) is closely associated with
the efforts of collecting and producing geospatial data, as well as the
advancement of surveying and computer technologies.
Components of SDI
▪Policies and institutional arrangements (Governance, data privacy & security,
data sharing and cost recovery)
▪People (training, professional development, co-operation, outreach)
▪Data (digital base maps, thematic, statistical, place names)
▪Technology (Hardware, software, networks, databases, technical
implementation plans)
Metadata
▪Metadata is often called the data about data, and includes information such as
titles, descriptions, data categories, the locations and time of the data collection,
the data collectors, the used coordinate systems and map projections, and the
data cleaning and processing procedures.
▪Metadata provides documentation of existing internal geospatial resources within
an organization (Inventory)
▪Permits structured search and comparison of held geospatial resources by others
(catalog)
▪Provides end-users with adequate information to take the resource and apply it in
an appropriate context (Documentation)
▪ISO 19115/TS19139 provide an international standard for metadata and its
encoding
Metadata : Services and Geospatial
data
❑ Metadata describes data and
service resources for order, access
or local use
❑ Metadata is used to describe all
types of data emphasis on “truth
in labeling”
▪ Common data layers are being
defined in Framework activity
▪Special-use thematic layers are built
and described as available geospatial
data
▪Elevation, hydrographic data,
transportation, Cadastral etc data
contents are as per the standards.
▪Each theme is also described as
XML/GML application schemas that
can be served over the web (OGC
Web Feature Services)
Interoperability with common
framework data encoding
▪ The NSDI includes the services to help discover and
interact with data.

Geoportal ▪Geoportals are Web gateways that provide one‐stop


access to geospatial resources
▪Geoportals are typically developed using Web‐based
technologies and off‐ the‐shelf GIS software packages. A
database management system (DBMS) is used to store
and manage the metadata of the geospatial resources
contained in the SDI.
▪ A Web interface, which often contains a map, enables
end users to interact with the system and to conduct
searches.
▪When a search is performed, a HTTP (Hypertext
Transmission Protocol) request will be sent to the Web
server which hosts the geoportal.
▪After querying the metadata stored in the database, the
geoportal will then send back the result to the client
through a HTTP response.
▪Geoportals are typically designed to be used by both GIS
professionals and the general public.
National Spatial Data Infrastructure
▪India has, over the past years, produced a rich
“base” of map information through systematic
topographic surveys, geological surveys, soil
surveys, cadastral surveys, various natural
resources inventory programmes and the use of
the remote sensing images.
▪Recent initiatives by the Government, including
the IT Act, as well as announced plans for
private and public investment, make it clear that
within a few years an unprecedented capability
will exist for sharing of data along “electronic
superhighways.” Amongst the variety of
datasets that would be involved, spatial (or
map) information will be a major “content”.
