US Department of Labor: 2007 Survey
Over 60% of all information used by the public sector around the world can be georreferenced
Today's decision makers are aware of the importance of geospatial information ⇒ strong demand
⇒ how to supply them?

The three 21st century mega-technologies and most important emerging and evolving fields
National Spatial Data Infrastructure - NSDI
Policies, laws, rules, standards, agreements, plans, programs, projects, human, technological and financial resources,
appropriately integrated, to facilitate the production, access and use of governmental geospatial data, on behalf of the
country's development.
Technological advances ⇒ redefinition of how to make cartography ⇒ integrating data and information ⇒optimizing resources ⇒ attending the demands !!
NSDI Components
NSDI
POLICY- Institucional deals- Detecting duplication of
production (GI) - Identifying roles, data
production and possession (GI)
- Elaborate fundamental data sharing programe (GI)
DATA-Definition of similar
fundamental and thematic data (IG)
- Certifying and compatibilization
- Integration and Divulgation
TECHNOLOGIC- Protocols and
interfaces for comunication and search
-Server networks-Service (Geo)
LEGAL- Legal marks- Institutional mandate- Legal and authoral rights- Rules and legislation,
costs and trade
STANDARDS-Metadata-Data exchange
HUMAN RESOURCES
-Capacitation-Leveling knowledge-Technical and
managerial

National Commission of Cartography - CONCAR
Attributions (update by the Decree of August 01, 2008)
Support the Minister on the supervision of the National Cartographic System
Coordinate the execution of the National Cartographic Policy
Vision of the FutureCONCAR being acknowledged by the Brazilian society and capable of providing a National Cartographic System of excellence and able
to deliver an updated and integrated National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
MissionTo coordinate and to guide the establishment and the
implementation of the National Cartographic Policy and the maintenance of the National Cartographic System, aiming to
organize the acquisition, production and distribution ofgeospatial information for the Brazilian society

CONCAR Actions towards NSDI Construction
1/2
SIRGAS is a continental geocentric, modern, precise reference frame, compatible with the GNSS systems
Development of studies towards the standardization of cadastral mapping, of geospatial metadata and of structuring the National Cartographic Database (NCD/MND)
Approval of the first (2005) and second (2007) versions of technical specification for structuring geospatial vector data of NCD/MND
Actions restarted on October 2003
Approval of the change in legislation that allowed the official adoption of the new SIRGAS2000 Geodetic Reference Frame on February 25, 2005 (based on Presidential Decree nr 5.334 of Jan 2005)
CONCAR Actions towards NSDI Construction
2/2
Change of CONCARmembership (representatives from state governments, ministries and others).August 1sτ 2008 Decree.
Proposition of a Presidential Decree on the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) of Brazil, obligating Federal agencies to share their geospatial data and metadata
Proposal of Presidential Decree (1/2)
To establish NSDI in Brazil
To establish the “Geographic Information System of Brazil –SIG Brasil” as the main node for acessing data, its metadata and related services. IBGE is responsible for planning, managing and operating SIG Brasil
To ensure the compatibility with standards and specificationsapproved by CONCAR
To ensure the accordance with the Interoperability Standards of the Electronic Government (e-PING)
To promote the sharing, distribution and use of geospatial data
To avoid duplication of actions and the waste of resources by public administration organizations when obtaining geospatial data
In 180 days after the Decree is published, an Action Plan for implementing NSDI has to be prepared by CONCAR, including:
Deadline for implementing the physical and logical structures of the Brazilian Directory of Geospatial Data and of SIG Brazil
Deadline for CONCAR’s approval of standards andspecifications of the geospatial metadata (LAMP being considered)
Deadline for agencies and organizations of the Federal Administration to make their geospatial metadata, stored on a server under their responsibility, available to CONCAR
Deadline for starting the release of geospatial metadata and related services by SIG BrasilRules for releasing metadata of new projects
Financial resources needed for establishing NSDI
Proposal of Presidential Decree (2/2)
IBGE actions for building NSDI
IBGE is preparing the geospatial data to contribute to NSDI
Update and converting to NCD of continuous digital 1:1,000,000 and 1:250,000 scales geospatial data being contracted for the entire country (up to 18 months work)
Update and conversion to NCD of larger scale maps (1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000), when appropriate
At the same time, compose a catalogue of satellite imagery with resolution between 2.5 and 100 m of the entire country
IBGE exclusively distributes ALOS satellite images for non-commercial users in Brazil
Note: The census maps that will be prepared to the Census 2010, with intensive use of satellite imagery,
will be a rich collection for the construction of SDI
Note: The census maps that will be prepared to the Census 2010, with intensive use of satellite imagery,
will be a rich collection for the construction of SDI
2007 Census
Use of PDA
Quality control at the time of survey
Real time monitoring of the collecting data in all municipalities
Georreferencing of rural establishments (farms, schools, health centers, etc.), as PDA is equipped by GPS
• Over 70,000 maps of census enumeration areas converted to SIRGAS2000
• In 2010 there will be over 280,000 census enumeration areas

CONCAR Resolution 001/2007
http://www.concar.ibge.gov.br/
• Integrating statistical data into NSDI opens new horizons, based on the possibility of correlating this data with all other data layers, like the ones related to natural resources and the environment
• The new web based technologies allow NSOs to produce Census Mapping in a full digital way, integrating maps, enumeration areas boundaries graphic and text files, and addresses file
• The current availability of low cost high resolution orbital and aerial imagery can help updating the Census Maps
• The NSOs efforts need to comply with NSDI, which is achievable by following the SDI National Authority Standards – many of which should adhere to the Open Geospatial Consortium standards; by doing this, all geospatial information generated in Census Mapping can be made available through the NSDI
