Outlook of the talk

• Sardinia Region SDI: SITR-IDT

• SITR-IDT compliance to INSPIRE: metadata and NS

• From INSPIRE to Digital Agenda: Europe towards

interoperability and open standards

• SITR-IDT added value: open data

• Conclusions: economical benefits of an open and interoperable

SDI

Sardinia Region metadata

- INSPIRE profile

- ISO 19115 and ISO 19119 for data and services

- ISO 19110 for Feature Catalogue


Europe 2020 Strategy: Digital Agenda goals

• The “Smart Growth” priority: economy based on technology and innovation

• The initiative “Digital Agenda for Europe”:

- Interoperability and standards: data and services;

- Opening up access to content: public sector information available on

transparent, effective, non-discriminatory terms as economic resource

- Review of the directive for PSI reuse (2003/98/EC)

- Transparent licensing terms and conditions

Europe 2020 Strategy main aim: to exit the recent economic crisis


SITR-IDT added value: open data

• Interoperability in SITR-IDT:

- INSPIRE network services;

- Metadata;

- Clear and largely open licensing for data access and use


SITR-IDT open data licensing

• Every user can:

- freely access, use, reproduce, distribute and modify data, also for

commercial purposes;

- freely use, reproduce and distribute derived data, also for commercial purposes;

- a fee can be required only for data elaborations: data direct resell is not allowed;

- the Region of Sardinia must be always quoted as original data creator;

- the same open conditions must be applied to all original and derived data

• Same principles of a GNU-GPL license: virality of open conditions

• Similar to an ODbL license


Benefits of an open and interoperable SDI

• Geographic data stand at the basis of a widespread amount of fields:

tourism, transports, commerce, ….

• Opening data with interoperable web services, standard formats and open

data licenses offers a great potential to citizens, companies and

professionals for their productive activities

• The economical benefit deriving from Sardinia SDI has not been

estimated yet but the several accesses recorded are a good indication of

the value of the offered services.


Issues to face

• Scarce knowledge of the SITR-IDT services and of what is nowadays

available, mostly by the larger local municipalities and regional offices

• Sometimes a surprising knowledge of the SDI by small professionals or

citizens

• Conclusive question: maybe the need of having spatial data and

services in a scarce economic capability makes users more interested

and more willing to use the existing services, with consequent possibility

for the regional PA of improving them and optimizing the investment.
