INTRODUCTION
Introduction What is Geoinformation? Geoinformation consists of digital data in form of maps (point - line - area data), images (aerial photos, satellite images), elevations (digital elevation models) and associated attributes (alphanumeric data related to points, lines, areas, objects). Geoinformation is key for planning and management of cities, land use, planning and management of utilities and resources, multipurpose cadastre, e-government, e-municipality, e-commerce and all other spatially related information => Spatially Enabled Government
Introduction Factors for the success of geoinformation mission Geoinformation is developed by using the disciplines of geomatic engineering namely; geodesy / GPS / CORS, surveying and mapping, remote sensing / satellite mapping, photogrammetry / orthophoto, cartography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The efficient use of geoinformation is possible by means of proper hardware and software: computers, servers, internet, databases and GIS software, etc. It is required to have skilled and competent manpower and organization.
IT SERVICES AND GEOINFORMATION
IT Services And Geoinformation It is a fact that 20% of the employment throughout the world is on information technology services and 80% of those are spatially related i.e. geographic.

SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI)
From Data Transfer Standard to Spatial Data Clearinghouse to SOA-Based NSDI National Spatial Data Infrastructure Data Transfer Standard Establish a neutral file format for data exchange purposes, so that every GIS would only need one translator to and from this common format. Spatial Data Clearinghouse From the establishment of standard, many national mapping agencies started to create spatial data clearinghouse an Internet base application to facilitate access to spatial data. NSDI comprises technologies, policies, standards, procedures and people to promote geodata sharing through all level of users. Global & national initiative 1 st generation of SDI As a mechanism for data discovery Data oriented (sharing data) SOA-Based NSDI An infrastructure for services offered to answer certain requests rather than a network to purely find, view and exchange geodata 2 nd generation of SDI Service oriented Sharing functionalities and geocontents Detail & specialize data

GEOINFORMATION: CHANGING EMPHASES
GEOINFORMATION Changing Emphases: From Data to Analysis 5% Spatial Analysis Spatial Analysis 10-15% Attribute Tagging Attribute Tagging 75% Data Conversion Data Conversion Past Present/Future
GEOINFORMATION From Description to Simulation & Modeling Picture worth a thousand words: maps & diagrams of how is, or how was Web portals serve static data sets Visual simulation & virtual reality: real time display of how is, and how might be - forest fire - traffic flow Web portals serve continuous sensor-derived data Past Iconic models: scaled down representations of the real thing Present/Future Symbolic models: based on logical relationships in mathematical or statistical form
GEOINFORMATION from 2-D description to 4-D interaction Past 2-D flat map displays User as observer Present and Future Effective 3-D visualization Via the merger of CAD and GIS? What is the data model? 4-D incorporation of time: The time has come for time. Via agent-based modeling / cellular automata? Or how? Cells (e.g. land parcels or people) interacting over time according to established rules 5, 6 and 7-D incorporation of touch (pressure, texture, temperature), sound and smell into modeling/simulation environment User as participant researchers, professionals, the public interact with the model the public as the planner (participatory GIS)
TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS
Technological Trends Underlying the Transition Location via GPS millimeter accuracy available in every cellphone super high capacity mass storage pettabyte and more systems high resolution (<1m) satellite remote sensing 17 terrabytes/day beaming down $1.4 billion investment to 2000AD the communication revolution super high capacity networks (Internet X), even to the home wireless (cellular) communication with anything that moves anywhere on earth Interoperability: easier sharing of data between users, and among vendor products Metadata Spatial Data Transfer Standards OpenGIS commercially enhanced data public data made dramatically more usable/useful spatial data tools in commercial DBMS* and software development environments ESRI SDE (spatial database engine) ESRI Map Objects & ArcObjects 3-tier computing, separating: user interface (client workstation) analysis (applications server) data (multiple distributed data servers)
