I would like to propose a new idea that would simplify geospatial data dissemination. My proposal is to build a component fordigital map excerpt (DME). Goal is to create common and easy to use ICT GIS infrastructure to enable easy distribution and use of spatial data as part of public services or in the creation of value-added services.
DME enables geographic data encapsulation into de facto and de jure standard for document exchange PDF. DME will be based on wide accepted OGC SLD, WMS, WCS and WFS standard and fully INSPIRE compliant. DME will enable sharing spatial data in interoperable .pdf format, providing end users with possibility to have a direct view on spatial data presented as a map (picture in PDF file) and also ability to further manipulate the data using embedded file containing data in digital form (vector and raster data) encoded in one of the mainstream format (like GML ).
To be able to use issued DME for legal purpose is must be signed with digital signature enabling authentication and non-repudiation. Many business transactions, including financial, legal, and other regulated transactions, require high assurance when signing documents. When documents are distributed electronically, it is important that recipients can:
⢠verify document authenticity â? confirming the identity of each person who signed the document
â¢verify document integrity â? confirming that the document has not been altered in transit
Certificate-based signatures provide both of these security services. Many businesses and governments have chosen to set up a certificate-based digital signature infrastructure within their organization â? using third party certificate authorities to provide independent identity validation.
Also one very important aspect of data distribution is ordering and data billing. Many countries and institutions are charging for its geospatial data to enable income to cover their operational costs. There are many different billing rules that can be applied including but not limited to:
â¢number of points/ objects
â¢area
â¢area position (urban vs. rural)
â¢megabytes
The activities will contribute to making available harmonized information related to one or more of the specific themes enumerated in annexes I-III of the INSPIRE Directive and to fostering the development by the private sector of innovative value-added services based on this interoperable information on a cross-border or pan-European level.
DME will offer wide range of predefined templates ready to use after setting basic configuration parameters (organization name, heading title, etc.) and more advanced custom design can also be easily done with iReport tool
I believe project could be funded from various sources including EU Horizon 2020 (EU Research and Innovation programme). If you fell interested and willing to support DME idea please do not hesitate to call me or reply a message.
Looking forward to hear from you,
