Geographic Data

What’s so special about it?

Page 3: Opening of Geographic Data

When did most people start to take note of Ajax?

Page 4: Opening of Geographic Data

When they first saw Google Maps and asked how it works?

Page 5: Opening of Geographic Data

Why?

Page 6: Opening of Geographic Data

because maps are useful!

and data used to make the map is even more useful

Page 7: Opening of Geographic Data

... but, someone forgot to put the download button

Page 8: Opening of Geographic Data

Why would we need a download button/data?

Don’t the people who really need it have it already?

Page 9: Opening of Geographic Data

I want to create themed cartography

Page 10: Opening of Geographic Data

I want to create my own a routing server

Page 11: Opening of Geographic Data

... I want to route in Tehran ...

Page 12: Opening of Geographic Data

and route my bike to get here today

What about for building other open government sites

as at 21 December no way to get postal regions boundaries for Australia without paying for non-commercial user

Page 15: Opening of Geographic Data

What about for more pressing uses?

as if routing my bike isn’t pressing enough

Global Issues

Page 17: Opening of Geographic Data

What about for Predicting Bush fires?

Geo-Temporal Data Global Challenges

Page 18: Opening of Geographic Data

What about for Climate Change Research?

Geo-Temporal Data Global Challenges

Page 19: Opening of Geographic Data

The Geographic Questions

Page 20: Opening of Geographic Data

Where? and Why there?

Page 21: Opening of Geographic Data

The Temporal Questions

Page 22: Opening of Geographic Data

When? and Why then?

Page 23: Opening of Geographic Data

Increasingly we want to answer Geo-Temporal questions

Page 24: Opening of Geographic Data

Where & When?Why there & then?

Page 25: Opening of Geographic Data

So way can’t we just have the geographic data?

To create say a poverty map for analysis on directing my donations

Page 31: Opening of Geographic Data

The changing face of the GIS Industry

Page 32: Opening of Geographic Data

These people speak another language few web people understand - W*S

• Simple Features Specification

• Web Mapping Service (WMS)

• Web Feature Service (transactional) (WFS-t)

• Web Coverage Service (WCS)

• Web Processing Service (WPS)

• Sensor Observation Service (SOS)

• OGC Catalogue Service (OCS)

• Style Layer Descriptor (SLD)

Only just coming to terms with the web architecture

Still have an XML-RPC bias

Still searching for a cleaver search solution

Load balance? Easy

REST resources are cacheable

Page 44: Opening of Geographic Data

Scalable out of the box

REST resources are stateless so easy to scale
