UK MoD’s Spatial Data Infrastructure

Brian Parish JFC-JU-JGI


Other Spatial Data Infrastructures

In Europe a major recent development has been the entering in force of the INSPIRE Directive in May 2007, establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe to support Community environmental policies, and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment.

INSPIRE is based on a number of common principles:• Data should be collected only once and kept where it can be maintained most

effectively.• It should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different

sources across Europe and share it with many users and applications.• It should be possible for information collected at one level/scale to be shared with all

levels/scales; detailed for thorough investigations, general for strategic purposes.• Geographic information needed for good governance at all levels should be readily

and transparently available.• Easy to find what geographic information is available, how it can be used to meet a

particular need, and under which conditions it can be acquired and used



From IHO MSDIWG ToRs This Working Group (WG) is a subsidiary of the Hydrographic Services and

Standards Committee (HSSC). Its work is subject to HSSC approval.

Inputs from IHO MSDIWG work plan• To consider the impact of the UN- GGIM initiative

• Establish a MSDI training syllabus for use across IHO community

• Provide position paper to IRCC 2014 on MSDI and its importance to IHO

• Conduct a review of MSDI that includes conceptual descriptions of the four sub-areas of MSDI as

– E.1.1 Technical issues – E.1.2 Governance – E.1.3 Standards and specifications – E.1.4 Content (data)



UN Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM)

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) established the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) in July 2011 (ECOSOC resolution 2011/24) as the official UN consultative mechanism on GGIM.

The main objectives of the UN Committee are to provide a forum for coordination and dialogue among Member States, and between Member States and relevant international organizations and to propose work-plans and guidelines with a view to promoting common principles, policies, methods, mechanisms and standards for the interoperability and inter-changeability of geospatial data and services.


MoD SDI Vision

By 2015 Defence will treat spatial data as

an enterprise resource contributing to

Information Superiority and enhancing

the delivery of military effect.

End-users and systems will be able to

store, discover, view, exploit and share

spatial data in a way that is common and

consistent across all operational

environments and functions.

A consistent approach to spatial data will

support the incremental development of

exploiting systems, allowing them to be

adaptable to future technologies and

organisational change.

MoD SDI Strategic Objectives for 2015

• SO1. Provide Governance• SDI Authority, under devolved CIO/CTO/JFC Authority.

• SO2. Provide an Enterprise Service• SGCs authorised data products, services and updates for MoD enterprise-wide discovery,

assessment and exploitation (DGS)

• SO3. Support Interoperability• The Acquisition Cycle is supported to be 100% compliant with SDI policy, governance and

technical requirements

• SO4. Develop an Enduring Foundation• SDI Core Team • Educational and training programme • Targeted and collaborative R&D Programme

• Measure Progress

Governance (in a nutshell)

Say what you do

• Policy is clearly articulated in JSP 465 & 348

• Standards are documented and maintained in DefStan 00-102

• GISSG maintains Defstan 00-102 on behalf of DGMB

• Policy and Standards are supported by SDI BOK on AOF

• SDI CA has early visibility of new capability development

• SDI Gatekeeper makes targeted engagement with DTs

• SDI TA supports gatekeeper relationship with DTs

Do what you say

• Follow the process flowchart

Prove it

• Record decisions and outcomes

What SDI-DGS will do for MoD users

• Searches will reveal all relevant spatially-referenced information

• Assured access to the most recent, authoritative data

• Discovery and processing of spatial data will be automated to a greater extent

• More information is available as a service (lower bandwidth demand)

• Analyses to be published and shared easily

• Blur the lines between producer and consumer
