SDI Value Chain
© con terra GmbH3
Spatial information is valuable> even if it‘s for free!Spatial information can be used for commercial products> it‘s raw material for spatial products, applications, etc.Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are the distribution network> moving the raw and semi-finished products from the producer
to the userIf value is created along the value chain, there is a need for metering and accounting!And spatial information is heterogeneous!> It‘s not sufficient to summarise what is taken from and given
to the network
Basic Assumptions

Homogenious goodProducers measure their outputUsers measure their consumptionOnly balance is determinedActual origin of product does not matter
=> Unlike SDIs!

SDIs are classical value chainsAlong the value chain, raw materials are assemled to semi-finished and finally to end productsEach step adds value, so each step may need individual accounting

Interoperability
Find the right content!•Product catalogs•Search tools•…
Technical integration•Standards•Services•…
Legal agreements•Negotiate contracts?•Sign papers?•…

Status quo of SDIs ensures technical interoperabilityApplying business aspects> must not break technical interoperability> must ensure immediate workflows> must support existing technology> must solve all business requirements (terms and conditions,
prices, rights and duties, ...)
cf. INSPIRE Data & Service Sharing Implementing Rules: > Convey legal terms and conditions> Transparency of charges> Licence creation without delay
Applying Business Aspects to SDIs

Protection aspect> Services are protected against unlicenced access> If a valid licence is provided, access is granted> If the licence includes restrictions (e. g. spatial, content, …),
these have to be enforcedConclusion aspect> Licence offer> Licence agreementManagement aspect> Maintenance of existing licences> Accounting
eLicensing of Geo Services

Why is spatial special?
Data Sharing in SDIs

Books> PriceGeo products> Geographic extent> Layers> SRS> Data format> Price formula, with regard to the parameters> Download or service> ...
Product Aspects

Be generic> Support different business models
> Click-through vs. configurable licenses> Free of charge vs. flat rate vs. pay-per-use> Pre-paid vs. post-paid> General access vs. user-specific access vs. license
configuration-based access> Provide an easy-to-use workflow to
> clearly convey license terms> allow easy license conclusion> give immediate access> limit access to license terms

Licence description (What is it all about?)
Terms and conditions (What is allowed? What is not?)
Configuration options (Customise your licence)
Access rights (How can you access the service?)
Price models (What do you have to pay?)
