  • GIS for National Mapping and Charting
    copyright swisstopo GIS for National Mapping and Charting Esri® GIS Solutions in Europe GIS for National Mapping and Charting Solutions for Land, Sea, and Air National mapping organisations (NMOs) are under pressure to generate more products and services in less time and with fewer resources. On-demand products, online services, and the continuous production of maps and charts require modern technology and new workflows. GIS for National Mapping and Charting Esri has a history of working with NMOs to find solutions that meet the needs of each country. Software, training, and services are available from a network of distributors and partners across Europe. Esri’s ArcGIS® geographic information system (GIS) technology offers powerful, database-driven cartography that is standards based, open, and interoperable. Map and chart products can be produced from large, multipurpose geographic data- bases instead of through the management of disparate datasets for individual products. This improves quality and consistency while driving down production costs. ArcGIS models the world in a seamless database, facilitating the production of diverse digital and hard-copy products. Esri® ArcGIS provides NMOs with reliable solutions that support scientific decision making for • E-government applications • Emergency response • Safety at sea and in the air • National and regional planning • Infrastructure management • Telecommunications • Climate change initiatives The Digital Atlas of Styria provides many types of map data online including this geology map. 2 Case Study—Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (RCAA) regulates all civil avia- tion activities in the country, including licencing pilots, registering aircraft, and certifying that aircraft and engine designs are safe for use.

Big data can be classified in the disciplinary area of traditional geospatial data handling theory and methods. The increasing volume and varying format of collected geospatial big data presents challenges in storing, managing, processing, analysing, visualising and verifying the quality of data. This has implications for the quality of decisions made with big data. Consequently, this position paper of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Technical Commission II (TC II) revisits the existing geospatial data handling methods and theories to determine if they are still capable of handling emerging geospatial big data.

KEYWORDS: Big Data, Geoportal, INSPIRE, interoperability, Spatial Data Infrastructures ABSTRACT Initiated in 2007, the INSPIRE Directive has set a legal framework to create a European-wide Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support the European Union (EU) environmental policies. This chapter analyses the INSPIRE infrastructure from a Big Geospatial Data perspective, describing how data is shared in an interoperable way by public sector organisations in the EU Member States and how it is made available in and accessible within the infrastructure. The INSPIRE Geoportal, which is the entry point to the whole infrastructure, is presented in detail. To justify its nature of a Big Geospatial Data infrastructure, the characteristics of INSPIRE data are mapped to those of Big Data’s six ‘Vs’.

  • Staying Debt-Free Gives Us the Freedom to Do the Right Thing
    ARTICLE GIM INTERNATIONAL INTERVIEWS JACK DANGERMOND Staying Debt-free Gives Us the Freedom to Do the Right Thing “Staying private and debt- free gives us a level of freedom to do the right thing that we would never have in a heavily-leveraged company or public company,” Jack Dangermond states in this interview. He has been exposed to entrepreneurship from a very early age. “Success requires a sustainable revenue model, that is more money coming in than going out. This sounds simple but you would be surprised how few people understand this when starting a business.” He considers himself lucky to have discovered the world of computational geography and to have developed it into a technology that helps people apply geographic services everywhere. What motivated you and your wife Laura to start Esri in 1969? In the late 1960s I went to Harvard to study Landscape Architecture and was exposed to early computer mapping and spatial analysis. I had already been doing geographic analysis manually, but at Harvard they were exploring how to do it with computers. I became interested in the application of the new data technology developed by Carl Steinitz and others at the Harvard Lab, and began using it for several student projects and thinking about how it could be used in environmental planning and spatial decision-making. I moved back to California and started Esri, which focused on the application of that technology to real-world environmental planning projects. That led to the development of software products, and the rest is history. Your parents, immigrants from The Netherlands, owned a family business.
