A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. n The
infrastructure paradox: n for those using it: it must be
transparent, simple to use, and offer products and services that
meet their needs; n for those building and maintaining it: it is a
complex system of technology, people and processes, and it must
continuously evolve according to user needs, w/o breaking.

A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. A vision for
CGDI: a national geospatial information infrastructure that is
pervasive throughout our country, ubiquitous to its users and
self-sustaining, in support of the betterment of Canada's health,
social, cultural, economic and natural resource heritage and
futures. To be all of this - CGDI must be the best in the world!

Slide 8
A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. n Building CGDI:
n will require a large investment for several years; n must follow
a stable and clear vision; n must be based on a sustainable
architecture (standards-based, open); n will spawn a new Canadian
industry, competitive internationally. High-level visioning for

Slide 10
A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. n Develop a
high-level generic vision that can withstand time; n Develop a
vision that is holistic, enabling integration of CGDI with other
infrastructures; n Develop a vision that goes beyond a technical
system vision, to encompass organizations and policies; n Develop
an architecture concept that is open, interoperable, and supports a
network of geospatial services. The III team approach Slide 10 of

Slide 11
A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. n Understand the
business drivers; n Review a variety of existing initiatives; n
Validate common requirements; n Develop a Vision; n Define an
architecture concept; n Provide a strategy for implementation; n
Recommend tactical steps for deployment. The III team approach

viewpoints are placed in the following framework and related to the
stages of information system deployment. Enterprise view: >
Business practices, > Standards and policy, > Strategic
vision. Design View (Expanded RM-ODP Engineering Viewpoint): >
Engineering Viewpoint (formal reasoning and specification); >
Workflow (business processes and information movement); >
Content specifications (logical schema for local and distributed
resources). Deployment and Operations View (includes the
Computional and Technology viewpoints of RM - ODP): > The
Information viewpoint (Meta-content schema for distributed
databases); > The Computational viewpoint (core geospatial
meta-model and methods); > The Technology viewpoint
(collaborative design framework and operational system
architecture). Slide 32 of 52

A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our
country, Ubiquitous to its users, Self-sustaining. First steps in
implementing the Vision: l Verify the roles of partners and
components l Priorize the goals l Establish a time table and obtain
required resources l Use off-the-shelf tools as much as possible l
Use standards as a guide: ISO, OGC and W3C (and see how they are
evolving) l Look beyond spatial to other, next-generation,
technology (e.g. mobile solutions) = forward synergy l Establish
close liaisons with organizations moving in the same direction
and/or providing support in that same direction (LIO, CGKN, PGGQ,
ISTA, DERM, NIMA etc) Implementation priorities Slide 47 of 52

A vision for CGDI... Open, enabling excellence Pervasive in our

III team is well positioned to develop an integrated vision and
architecture for CGDI, and to provide a key focus in the building
of CGDI; l Embrace broad coverage: beyond data, towards
information, leading to user knowledge/wisdom; l Focus on
infrastructure NOT systems; l Become stakeholder driven (not
technology ~ ); l Stakeholders must eventually manage and control
the architecture; l Several domestic benefits: much reduced costs,
high efficiency, emergence of a new industry; l International
positioning: a model for export. Slide 51 of 52
