Outline 2

Features of GSDI established in 2004 for academic, government, industry entities and individual professionals in geomatics:

GSDI today has 38 Organisational Members from 20 countries and over 400 individual members from 55 countries with a high concentration in developing nations.

GSDI has Special Consultative status with UN ECOSOC and supports the UN Global Geospatial Information Management (UN UN GGIM) initiative.

GSDI promotes the Open Data Principles of GEO/GEOSS


GSDI – an update in nutshell 1 3

GSDI is involved in SDI capacity building activities in several ways, including: the GSDI Small Grants Program (in cooperation with

URISA’s GISCorps volunteers)SDI and geomatics training opportunities offered by our

institutional members, andSDI-focused workshops and seminars offered by members

globally.Since 1996, the Association has conducted GSDI World

Conferences around the globe, offering significant networking opportunities and offering the opportunity for SDI researchers and SDI implementors to present their latest work, challenges and solutions.

GSDI 15 World Conference 6

Themes: Spatial Enablement in the Smart Homeland Smart Disaster Prevention, Smart transportation, Smart City

EO/SDI’s relevance to socio-economic and environmental impacts of global urbanisation and serving more liveable cities were clearly shown among other by UN, OECD and FIG.

Even the recent Davos Meeting in January called the attention of the challenges related to sustainable cities. GIM’s 2016 August-September issue reviewed ten technological drivers which support urban development and services in need of transformation

Organisers: The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) Association and the Taiwan Association of Disaster Prevention Industry (TADPI), with strong support from Ministry of the Interior (MOI).

Recent version is a joint NASA/ESA collaboration (at ESA ESRIN: Pier Giorgio Marchetti and Olivier Barois)

Third parties are able to use this technology to serve their own needs. Wide-range of governmental and academic applications eg. FAA is using

WorldWind for their next generation Air Traffic Management system NESAT3D

“NASA developers certainly would like to work in concert with others, so that together they can advance this platform to better serve all of our needs.” – Patrick Hogan

Annual contest for young SME professionals and Academic/students teams “World Wind Europa Challenge”Summer School in Italy: to set up WWEC goals and criteria (Como, 2012), The series of annual Challenges with WWEC sessions and award ceremonies were hosted by INSPIRE Conference (Florence, 2013), First FOSS4G Europe Conference hosted by the Jacobs University (Bremen, 2014), 2nd FOSS4G Europe Conference hosted by the Milano Politecnico Campus Como(2015) and this year in Trento and Awards ceremony in Perugia, Italy

WW EUROPA CHALLENGE 2016 EXAMPLEWhat World Weather is capable of doing already?“We have collected real-time accurate GIS data from NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, NOAA, and more and presented them to the user (weather forecaster, scientist, meteorologist, researcher, enthusiast, etc) in an easy to use way that is accessible from any web browser on any device.” – Khaled Sharif

August 31 Storm over the Atlantic Ocean

"The two images show different zoom levels of a storm in the Atlantic Ocean on August the 31st. NASA World Weather increases in resolution as you zoom into images and automatically saves the images to conserve bandwidth.

The satellite imagery is from NASA and the wind and rainfall forecasts are from Environment Canada."Courtesy by Khaled Sharif, Amman, Jordan

"Using World Weather you can overlay weather forecasts onto real-time satellite imagery

Displayed is dust information from EUMETSAT (at 15 minute intervals) and the latest wind forecast from Environment Canada's GeoMet service.”

"Displayed is World Weather tracking Hurricane Hermine (late August 2016, to the west of Florida); on the left globe is near-real-time satellite imagery from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites overlayed with a wind forecast from GeoMet. The right globe shows anticipated rainfall amounts."

"World Weather can consume GIS that are time aware and contain legends; the interface displays the legend and current time and the user can modify the time of the information and see it update on the globe automatically."Courtesy by Khaled Sharif, Amman, JordanGSDI Liaison’s report for CEOS WGISS 42 Meeting hosted by ESA ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, 19-22 September, 2016

"What makes NASA World Weather special is that it can combine data sources and visualize them all on four synchronized globes at once; displayed is a mix of satellite imagery (EUMETSAT and NASA) and weather forecasts (GeoMet, NOAA GFS) for tracking a storm near Western Europe."

Local, national, regional SDIs and associated services are enabling tools for EO applications

GSDI is capable not only serving and supporting EO applications, but also capacity building, providing awareness raising and generating user feedbacks with special emphasis on user requirements

As GEOSS foundational tasks are concerned, GSDI is continuing support the GEOSS data sharing policy and ready to contribute to the data management principles implementation guideline development,

The theme ‘Smart Homeland’ of coming GSDI World Conference in Taipei are matching many of the GA’s focused areas introduced at the WGISS-41 Plenary

The synergy provided by the combined use of EO and SDI technologies and services is inevitable for achieving the UN sustainable development goals
