Background- Arctic Council -
The Ottawa Declaration of 1996 formally established the Arctic Council as a High level intergovernmental forum – Foreign Ministers SAO – Senior Arctic Officials from the Arctic Countries Consensus based body Promoting cooperation, coordination and interaction among Arctic States Including the involvement of the Arctic Indigenous communities and other
Arctic inhabitants 6 Working Groups - CAFF (Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna)
representing the working groups. The Chairmanship is rotating – every second year Sweden has just taken over the Chairmanship www.arctic-council.org

Why Arctic SDI ?Wide array of spatial data
around the ArcticDatasets are distributed
throughout many organisations often not integrated or coordinated
Arctic SDI would allow for more robust management and manipulation of data for both research and management purposes.

GIT Within the Barents Region
- main goals - Production of homogenous & uniform geographic
information within the region development and implementation of internet-based
technology for effective access and distribution of geographic information within the region

The Barents GDB1:1 000 000
no new mapping efforts have been executed existing national map databases have been used and
compiled common feature Catalogue the new database is a homogenous geographic (GIS
compatible) map database

The experiences gained during the GIT Barents project might be applicable also when building an Arctic SDI!

Background- Arctic SDI support -
Arctic SDI discussions have been ongoing for a number of years.
The Arctic SDI initiative received, after a request from the Nordic Mapping Organisations, the formal support of the Arctic Council at its Senior Arctic Officials (SAO) meeting in November 2009
Support of all the eight Arctic Council countries i.e. Canada, Denmark, Faroes, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russian Federation, Sweden and the United States

The Arctic SDI- the vision -
An Arctic SDI – based on sustainable co-operation between mandated national mapping organisations – which will provide for access to spatially related reliable information over the Arctic to facilitate monitoring and decision making
Arctic SDI

The Arctic SDI- user driven approach -
Four main categories of users identified: The Arctic Council Working Groups (AC WGs).
Research groups within the International Polar Year and other scientific communities engaged in Arctic research.
Government and governmental authorities involved in decision making processes concerning the Arctic.
Media and the public including NGOs.

The Reference Group
23
The Arctic Council and its Working Groups, represented by CAFF, are participating in the Arctic SDI project work as Reference Group, representing the user community and thus exercising influence on the project and its results.
The Reference Group representative can be co-opted to the Steering Committee as required.

Working Groups
24
Proposed Working Groups: Working group A will be responsible of design,
architecture and standards for development of the Arctic SDI based on use of open source technology.
Working group B will be responsible of establishing a catalogue of existing and available reference data, specifications included and metadata.
There is a need for Working group C responsible of Data Access Terms.
