About

A spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a data infrastructure implementing a framework of geographic data, metadata, users and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way. Wikipedia:SDI

OSGeo considers the ability of its software projects to implement various SDIs an important feature for organizations around the world.

Software components of SDIs

Basic software components of SDI are:

catalogue service
spatial data service
processing services
spatial data repository

Client software (desktop and web) communicates via standards to those services, which interacts directly with the user. It enables download, display, query, analysis and updating spatial data.

OSGeo projects cover all these software components. Some of them are covered by multiple OSGeo projects.

Standards

Most SDIs are related to OGC standards (OGC OWS) as well as ISO. They are all well implemented in OSGeo projects.

Current SDIs

GEOSS Global Earth Observation System of Systems. 2005-2015
GMES Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. Should be fully operational during 2014
INSPIRE Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community. See also INSPIRE
UNSDI United Nations Spatial Data Infrastructure
NSDI National Spatial Data Infrastructure
CGDI Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure
add more here

Goals

Coordinate efforts of development teams
Help to make OSGeo software stack the best choice for SDIs implementation
Promote OSGeo software stack, as the best choice for SDIs implementation
...

Methods

Checklists
Tests
Reference implementations
Relevant case studies

Communication

Until it wont fit our needs, we are using inspire-data at lists.osgeo.org - please feel free to join us.
IRC meetings
- how often should meetings occur?
Google+ group? so that it is possible also to make a fast call

Members

Add your name, if you would like to be active member of the committee
