2 CONTENTS I. National Participation; the case of Mexico II. Strategic Actions for Sustainable Development; Global Map III. Digital Map of Mexico IV. Proposal

3 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico

4 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Since 2007 Mexico, as part of the Initiative of the Global Map Project, has prepared and delivered information for this project, based on the specifications and software tools provided by the ISCGM.

5 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. A) Transportation routes: 1. Highways (lines)

6 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. A) Transportation routes: 2. Roads (lines)

7 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. A) Transportation routes: 3. Railways (lines)

8 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. A) Transportation routes: 4. Train Station (point)

9 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. A) Transportation routes: 5. Airport (point)

10 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. B) Boundaries: 2. Political demarcation (line) 1. Political boundaries(polygons) 3. Coast (line)

11 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. C) Populated places: 1. Locality (points) 2. Cities (polygons)

12 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated vector information. D) Hydrography: Rivers (line) Aqueduct, channel (line) Various - dam, weir, pit (points) Continental water bodies (polygons)

13 I. National Participation; the case of Mexico Layers of integrated raster information. Elevation: DEM* 30 mts. resolution * DEM.- Digital Elevation Model

14 Information to be included: Raster Information: Elevation Vegetation Soil Cover DEM* 15 mts. resolution * DEM.- Digital Elevation Model

15 II. Strategic Actions for Sustainable Development; Global Map

16 II. Strategic Actions for Sustainable Development; Global map To enable Sustainable Development is essential to have a Geospatial Information consultation platform on the web based on meeting the needs of users and its potential use.

17 II. Strategic Actions for Sustainable Development; Global map The Global Map as plataform for consultation is: Adaptable to user. Implemented with International Standards. Based on Open Source software robust modules. Spatial enablement towards managing all information spatially Teo CheeHai President, International Federation of Surveyors (FIG)

18 Detailed georeferenced information, combining statistical information and its location. Strengthening relations between National Disaster Management Agencies and National Geospatial Agencies. II. Strategic Actions for Sustainable Development; Global map Contribution to the post 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda (reduction and disaster risk mitigation) Geospatial Global leaders participation in the development of public policies, procedures and mechanisms for risk management. Estructuración Geospatial Information Estandarización Limpieza (higiene)

19 III. Digital Map of México MDM

20 III. Digital Map of México MDM The Digital Map of México, MDM for its initials in Spanish, gives State Units, decision makers, researchers and public in general a query system information via a web-based platform that facilitates the use, interpretation and analysis of geographic and georeferenced statistical information. Marina CENAPRED SECTUR SENER SEMARNAT

21 III. Digital Map of México MDM The MDM allows you to create web and mobile applications Base Maps from INEGI The wealth of geographic information INEGI Thematic Maps Demography Powerful geographic searcher Spatial Analysis Georeferencing A comprehensive set of tools to control maps and georrefered objects.

22 III. Digital Map of México MDM And as in the Global Map, the MDM data set can be used on any GIS solution since it is a development platform on free software (similar to GIS), which allows the combination of information generated by INEGI with base maps from other sources.

23 IV. Proposal

24 IV. Proposal Global Map online Global Map Downloads Standardized Web Services

25 IV. Proposal Display online of National Geoportals Standardized Web Services ISCGM - Portal MDM GIS. Geoportal México
