The Danish Way

The Danish Way: Development of the Danish Spatial Data Infrastructure

Lise Just KMS – Kort & Matrikelstyrelsen National Survey & Cadastre Denmark

The Danish Way The Danish eGovernment strategy: “Towards better digital service, increased efficiency and stronger collaboration” •Increased collaboration across sectors and government levels • A combination of consensus-based decisions and mutually binding public-public partnerships •The driver for the Danish Spatial Data Infrastructure

1

The Danish eGovernment Strategy 2007-2010 1. Digitalization focused on creating improvements in the service to citizens and businesses 2. Digitalization that enables resources to be transferred from administration to citizenfocused service 3. Coordination and prioritization of digitalization efforts in the public sector through more binding, cross-governmental collaboration at all levels

KMS, Denmark •Denmark’s central public source of geographic data •National coordinator of surveying, mapping & registration of spatial information •National authority for National SDI

The first Danish SDI components: • •

CPR (central personal register) Digital cadastral maps

•

Digital ”technical” maps

•

Digital topographic ”maps”

•

Digital height models

• • •

BBR (the Building and Dwelling Register) SVUR (national valuation register) Shared Addresses

KMS Digital Map Supply • • • • •

to share spatial information via the internet addresses both technical and business issues for sharing Interface between the SDI and its utilization In full service since 2002 100 mill searches in 2008

2008 ”Show the Location” Partners: • The Digital Taskforce •

KMS

Objective: • To provide the public and business with a visual service •

To facilitate cross-agency access to geographic presentation

•

To make it easier to access basic geodata and to overlay individual authorities’ own geodata on a map.

The Danish understanding of SDI identical with the INSPIRE definition Infrastructure means: • Metadata •

Spatial datasets

•

Spatial data services

•

Agreements on sharing

•

Access and use

•

Coordination and monitoring mechanisms

The Danish Infrastructure Model Sectors: •The environment •Emergency services •Agriculture •Health •Finance •Transport •Property

Examples of the most recent initiatives of Danish SDI components: • Shared Object Types – FOT • The Digital Elevation Model • The Environmental Portal • The agreement on shared funding at the state level

Coordinated and unified mapping of Denmark (FOT) Partnership between •KMS •Local authorities The objective: Establishment of a unified public topographic mapping of Denmark including technical and topographic geodata

Technichal geodata

FOT geodata Common Object Types

Topographic geodata

FOT

*MAP*

Coordinated and unified mapping of Denmark (FOT) •Creation of a geodatabase so all Danish authorities – state as well as local – have a common understanding and a solid base for cooperation •FOT ensures shared data capture for the updating of all topographic databases •In operation a shared geographic basis for public administration www.fotdanmark.dk/Service/In+English

10

Coordinated and unified mapping of Denmark (FOT)

•Pilot project 2007 •6 municipalities •Currently, 84 of 98 municipalities

www.fotdanmark.dk/Service/In+English

The Danish Digital Elevation Model Partners: •The Ministry of the Environment •The Ministry of Defence, •The Ministry of Transport •Established in 2008 •co-financed a high-precision elevation model (DEM). •available to all central government authorities. •85 out of 98 local authorities have decided to acquire the same DEM.

The Danish Nature & Environment Portal - A gateway to relevant and up-to date geodata Result of municipal administrative reform 2007 Partnership between: • National Association of Local Authorities (45%) • Danish Regions (10%) • Ministry of the Environment (45%) • Based on a voluntary cooperation • Appurtenant agreement on responsibilities of data • Commitment themselves and each other to share specified data

The Danish Nature & Environment Portal - A gateway to relevant and up-to date geodata

•Area Information •Nature area •Surface water area •subsoil water area •Earth polution •User controle

12

The Danish Nature & Environment Portal - A gateway to relevant and up-to date geodata Aim:

•To ensure mutual access to data on the environment •To develop new mutual data areas •Benefitting all environmental authorities •The most significant solution of public interest •More than 2000 unique users daily

www.miljoeportal.dk/English/

New Agreement on access to geodata in the central government KMS is partially user financed 2008 New model for the financing of and access to geodata •Ministry of Finance •Ministry of the Environment •Ministeries, •Agencies, •Universities •Elementary and secondary schools

13

Use of geodata in ministries and governmental institutions - yesterday

New Agreement on access to geodata in the central government Grant all ministeries full access to geodata and relevant services from KMS •Topographical data •Reference network data •The DEM •Cadastral data (maps and registre) •Nautical charts •Access to all Web services for retrieving or displaying geodata •Including the Digital Map Supply

14

New Agreement on access to geodata in the central government Finacing Model: •Going from traditional usage fees

•an annual fixed contribution based on its use and needs Organisation: •National Coordination Forum •To ensure that the Danish SDI takes account of emerging technological opportunities and the needs of central government users.

Use of geodata in ministries and governmental institutions - today

The Spatial Data Service Community •A cross –governmental body •Established in 2002 by the eGovernment Executive Board •Chaired by KMS Objective: •To secure the development of a strategic framework for spatial data in the public sector • The Service Comminity is responsible for overall and more concrete cooperation on geodata •Access to geodata •Geodata modelling •Priotization related to SDI

16

The Spatial Data Service Community Strategic aims: 1. Responsibilities, competence and division of roles 2. Pricing structure 3. Basic data 4. Data descriptions 5. Distribution and presentation 6. Dissemination and deployment 7. International coordination

SPATIAL DATA SERVICE COMMUNITY The members ensure that geodata is effectively used as the central infrastructure of Denmark's eGovernment.

• The Ministry of Environment, • Local Government Denmark, • Danish Regions, • the National Agency for Enterprise and Housing, • the Directorate for Food, Fisheries and Agricultural Business • the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation • the Ministry of Transportation • the National Survey and Cadastre (KMS) www.xyz-geodata.dk/English/introduction.htm

17

……leading e-government countries such as Denmark have demonstrated that collaboration provides a better path.

18

Continous development •Continued development of cross-agency colaboration and solutions •Increased benefit of synergies within the private sector •Integration with eGovernment solutions •Continued development of data •Continued development of data sources and data capture •The European dimension

Do we have a SDI in Denmark

Yes or No?

The answer is Yes - because of the many existing infrastructure components Yes - Law on Infrastructure for Geographical Information based on INSPIRE – Dec 2008
