Key Drivers:
Access to *current* and *nationwide* geospatial data is critical to many
tasks and decisions, but until now, such access has been difficult.
Government departments found it hard to share information and
synchronize databases with the latest updates. This is a significant
problem, because data can change daily.
Project achievements:
After six years of standards and product development, a group of public
and private sector participants came together in the Canadian Geospatial
Data Infrastructure Interoperability Pilot, or CGDI. This Pilot
culminated in a nation-wide demonstration of standards-based products
that make immediate access to *current* data a reality. The CGDI Pilot
showed that municipal, provincial and territorial authorities can now
update data and automatically make their up-to-date data available
online in real time to those who need it, anywhere across Canada. This
presentation shows how the improved way of distributing and updating
data works.

Technical details for the webcast and teleconference are currently being
tested and finalized. An email will be sent to all interested parties a
couple of days before the presentation, and a timeslot will be allocated
beforehand for participants to dial in and try the webex conference
software.
Feel free to forward this email onto others you feel may be interested.

*
The CGDI-IP is coordinated by Geoconnections, the sponsor of the
Canadian national Spatial Data Infrastructure.
*
The pilot has been run as part of an Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC) testbed in partnership with the OGC.
*
The Australian Corporate Research Center for Spatial Information
(CRC-SI) part sponsored LISAsoft’s involvement in order to bring
Standards based Spatial Infrastructure expertise back into Australia.
*
Canadian Provinces (equivalent to Australian States) deployed WFS
and WMS servers.
*
Technology has been developed and part sponsored by industry
(LISAsoft in Australia, Cubewerx and Carbon Arc in Canada).
