What is the value of your Geodata?
Imagine that your organisation has lost an important dataset…
• Could you recreate it at all?
• Possibly with some information loss?
• Price for recollecting / reconstructing?
• What is the impact of not having the data?
• Good strategies (besides classic IT approach):
Use the data
Open data
• Our strategy: the above, plus a Geodata Warehouse, a «living archive»

Could you archive a geodataset from
1995 without any loss?
Imagine that your organisation should file a
geodataset, that was used or created 20
ago…
• Could you still read it?
• Is the expertise available to convert it into
the required formats?
• Would you be able to provide the necessary
information, e.g. Documentation, Metadata,
Data Model, Representation Model?

Just some thoughts about data loss...
• Data loss is one of the greatest risks for a NMA on the enterprise level, caused by e.g.
Technical problems, or even on purpose
Deleting the wrong data
• Some losses could only be detected after years, at the time when someone tries to access the data
• One can not keep all data limited storage costs
• Even if you keep all data, you probably won’t have the software to read it in the future
• Decide about which datasets should be kept and for how long, before being sent to the archives
• You should provide the documentation about a dataset while the know-how (people!) is still available
• Future effort for preparing & sending the data to the archives is minimal (ROI)

Legal Basis, Terms and Definitions
• The Federal Act on Geoinformation (GeoIA, 2008)
and the Ordinance on Geoinformation (GeoIO,
2008) essentially define 2 states / conditions in
which a geodata set can be:
• Long-term availability
The authorities responsible for the collection,
updating and management of official geodata
guarantee the long-term availability of this geodata.
• Archived
The Federal Archives conserves the geodata

The Aim of Long-term Availability…
… is to conserve official geodata for a limited period…
… in such a way that their quantity and quality are maintained…
…and they are available for continuous active use.
• Online availability should extend not just to the data fonds that are current at a given time but also to defined older snapshots (in the sense of time series).

Criterion Long-term availability Archiving
Preservation period Limited in time Unlimited in time
GIS functionality Yes No
Formats Current formats, ready for use Archivable formats
PrincipleKeep the data accessible, both
current and older releases
Keep permanently and
safely
Frequency of use Frequently Seldom

Requirements for the GDWH
• Ensure the long-term availability of official
geodata
• Import, preserve and export the geodata for
use within the FSDI
• Reduce or limit redundancy
• Minimise software manufacturer dependencies
• For swisstopo and for other federal agencies
(replace swisstopo legacy application, make it
useable for others)
• Fit the system in the overall FSDI framework
and the corresponding processes

• Additional software components to support specific data types can

Next Steps and Conclusions
• The new Geodata Warehouse enables the
Swiss Federal Spatial Data Infrastructure to
provide an environment to preserve geodata
(sustainable / long-term availability), both for
swisstopo itself and other federal agencies
• Swisstopo is currently adapting the remai-
ning systems of the FSDI to achieve this
goal, including the processes
• A geodataset becomes more interesting with
increasing age no need to archive
