SDI-related decisions of the Federal German Government

1996: Establishment of the National Geodata Centre (GDZ) assigned to the Institute for Applied Geodesy (IfAG)

1997: Establishment of the “Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG)” (Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy) as successor of IfAG

1998: Establishment of the “Interministerieller Ausschuss für Geoinformationswesen – IMAGI”(Interministerial Committee for Geoinformation)

BKGBKG

BKG’s mission

to provide the geodata infrastructure for the country taking into account the responsibilities of the states (e.g. the national geodata centre)

to carry out applied research and technological development

to represent the German interests in geodesy and geoinformation on the international level


Tasks of IMAGI:- to optimise the coordination of GI applications in the

federal government

- to develop the framework for the German SDI (GDI-DE)

Interministerial Committee for Geoinformation

established in 1998 by the Federal Governmentall members of IMAGI are federal ministries

- to tighten cooperation between Federation and the Länder

- to establish the metadata information system GeoMIS.Bundto facilitate access to and use of federal geodata (reference & thematic

data) for public authorities, industry, academia and citizens

Pilot project: “Protected area sites”


Resolution of the German Federal Parliament –15th February 2001

Federal Government is requested

to push ahead the implementation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure for Germany as a public infrastructureto promote the interdepartmental use of GI in public services

to coordinate the GI activities of the Federal Government, and to support the Länder (states)

to promote collaboration with the private sector and academia


Resolution of the German Federal Parliament –10th April 2003

Acknowledgement of IMAGI’s achievements

Federal Government is requested to increase the efforts related to GDI-DE®

Evaluation of the German approach to a National Spatial Infrastructure (GDI-DE)

Sustainable political support at the highest level

Improved Co-ordination being established

Phased implementation

Selling the benefits


Lessons learnedStrong political support is needed to establish a SDI -in a country and on the European level (EP, Council, EC)

Need for an authorised coordinating structure to initiate and monitor the development and implementation of a SDI.

A common process of specifying the strategy of a SDI is needed (e.g. IMAGI together with state committees for GDI-DE or EC together with Eurogeographics for ESDI)

Need for a culture of sharing (pricing and licensing) policies, experiences, and practical solutions.
