Introduction

This presentation will include a brief history of the development of the Manitoba Land Initiative and include a policy perspective for the sharing of data

and:

Give some insight into the internal operations of the warehouse site with an emphasis on data related to Southern Manitoba.

The (MLI) What is the MLI :

A Co-operative Provincial Government Initiative for the development of a digital on-line process to house, display and distribute Provincial geospatial data.

HistoryThere was a need for Manitoba to:

investigate a method for housing its own geospatial information (1999-2000).

collectively think about many department’s geospatial data products as a single corporate asset.

develop mechanisms for the collection, storage and dissemination of its data products.

create a interdepartmental structure for developing processes for a Manitoba data sharing and delivery service.

MLI delivery understanding:

All data is a corporate asset and its ownership never changes.

Data contributors can advance their core geospatial datasets into the system at any time.

Data contributors determine what datasets they release to the system.

8

Results of the process are:

A cross departmental, cross functional relationship for digital data sharing.

A corporate partnership of departments was formalized and a provincial working group was established.

Data sharing, data integration and standards development between departments for geospatial data products.

A provincial mandate for the MLI process was instituted that

provides for the development and provincial framework for the management of lands related information.

MLI Achievements

The process has:

Raised the profile of land related systems Integrated on-line access to land data Improved our data currency processes Provided a process for electronic transactions internally and

externally Provided smaller departments with equal access to data Provided internal and external user time and cost savings

MLI Warehouse Utilization

12

Summary

Future program development is advancing the MLI’s technical capabilities

Data continues to flow into the warehouse at an increased rate (approximately 80 Gb)

Human resource commitments continue by all user groups. As of March 1, 2005 there are 5600 registered users.

13

Some Future Activities

Striving to achieve a more seamless mapping and mapping framework.

Continue to accept geospatially related data sets

Investigate partnership relationships with other data products (NFIS), Intergraph and others.

Metadata management

Spatial Metadata Management System (SMMS) is being implemented with the assistance of Geoconnections.

Web Map Publisher

A pilot project is currently being completed with Intergraph , to evaluate and possibly implement this Web Map product as the next generation data access tool.

43

In conclusion

The Manitoba Land Initiative (MLI) is a active and on-going program for the effective collection, storage and dispensing of digital geospatial data across the Manitoba government and to the public.
