Polish Spatial Data Infrastructure - from the Concept towards its Implementation 8th EC-GI&GIS Workshop ESDI A Work in Progress Dublin, July 3-5 June 2001 r. Adam Linsenbarth, Ewa Wysocka Institute of Geodesy and Cartography Poland, Warszawa, ul. Jasna 2/4
NSDI - Poland The research project "Concept of the Polish Spatial Information System, commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Administration and financed by the State Committee for Scientific Research were conducted by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw July 1998 - March 2001
NSDI - Poland The main aim of the project was to propose a general concept of the national spatial information system (SIS), which would function as an integrated system, based on existing and future geographic information systems One of the elemente of the governmental infrastructure necessary for the government proper functioning The main user: governmental and local administration Then: other organisations inc. private companies, and citizens
NSDI - Poland The works were conducted in the thematic blocks, comprising the following tasks: SIS users and their needs conceptual model of SIS informational and legal aspects of SIS the technical and functional architecture of SIS an economic model of SIS a final conceptual version of the Polish Spatial Information System
NSDI - Poland 3 level, hierarchical, modular system architecture Integrated data collected in Data Warehouses, located in SIS Centres: ~380 district ( powiat ) SIS Centres 16 province (voivodship) SIS Centres 1 Central SIS Centre Metadata system Open system with access regulations Distributed configuration Object relational database Different data models on different levels

NSDI - Poland (On-going activities) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. National Geographic Database (1:250 000) with metadata database Topographic Database and DTM (1:10 000) (Pilot projects) Establishing the Integrated Cadastral System (SWDE, Phare and Matra projects) Regional and local GISes (further development and new initiatives) GI norms and standards 2000/2002 0/2002 2001/2003
Concept vs. reality Standardisation Proposal: Adoption of EU standards (obligatory - 80% till 2002) Reality: SWING, SWDE CEN/TC 287, ISO/TC 211, OGC the Polish Normalisation Committee (PKN) 1996 - the Normalisation Commission 255, the sub-commission for Geodetic Spatial Information System 2001 - the Normalisation Commission 297 forgeographic Information within the Polish Normalisation Committee (PKN)

Concept vs. reality SIS Centres Proposal: SIS centres based on regional agreements of different users Centres of Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation (ODGiK) as SIS centres Reality: ~ 400 ODGiKs on local level, 16 on regional level, CODGiK an early stage of preparing to run all National Geodetic and Cartographic Resources in digital form
Concept vs. reality Exist: reference (core) data high quality National GeoCartographic Resources, also in digital form large amount of other data, also in digital form technical sources (computer and telecommunication equipment) for collecting, archiving, accessing and interchanging data with potential staff Lack of: coordination proper legal regulations proper standards efficient implementation and organization
Concept vs. reality The National Council for Spatial Information Proposal: Reality: to establish the national, inter-ministerial council for SIS with an executive committee the informal team for geoinformation (called into being by the Surveyor General of Poland)
NSDI Poland Decree of the Minister of Regional Development and Construction (12 Jul 2001) National Land Information System Obligatory part of the system: National reference system Register of state and administrative boundary Geodetic network Land and building register Geodetic register of land technical utilities Topographical objects Metadata Other data?
NSDI - Poland Legal authorization of SIS in context of one legal regulation or insertion of entries into existing legal acts applied to collecting, updating and making available spatial data; Legal definition of spatial data and information; Legal regulations of the circulation of spatial data and information and making decision on the basis of these data in administrative proceedings (legal and evidential force of an electronic document); Legal basis for spatial data exchange within public administration units, between these units and between public administration and other partners; Legal basis for the fees of access to spatial information.
NSDI - Poland What we need... A formal inter-ministerial body Legal regulations Metadata standard..
Future role of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography - an executive office of the National SIS Council - cooperation with the Surveyor General of Poland - promotion of legal regulations - promotion of proper IS designing methods (state of art) - promotion of creating metadata databases - promotion of standards (norms) - co operations with other countries organisations (EU)
