Location based services (LBS)
•
Architecture mobile GIS
• positioning (either GSM/GPRS/UTMS or GPS/GLONASS/Galileo)
• wireless communication network based on GSM/GPRS/UTMS
• GIS data and services form the GII
•
Common aspect:
geographic locations

Information communities
• Today, migration towards integrated GIS
architecture: all data in the DBMS
• Next step: creation of
Geo-Information Infrastructure (GII)
• for related organizations and individuals
• that is, (geo-)information communities
• avoids exchanging copies of data
• Parallel between geo-information and
scientific information

GII goal, new approach
• Avoiding copying data
• data at the sources
• no management at client (user) site
• data accessible from all-over the world
• Enables fair pricing
• ranging from free to charge per used subset
(instead of paying for full data sets)
• fair for both vendors and buyers

GII components
•
Four main components
• geo-data sets
• networks
• geo-data processing services (geo-DBMS)
• interoperability standards
•
Aspects
• technical
• financial
• organizational
• legal and others
Note a lot of discussion of the (free) availability of geoinformation (NL, Europe, world)

GII example
On-the-fly
access to
geo-data:
- multi-source
- transparent
- Java client

Different categories of publications
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Books, monograph
PhD thesis
Edited books (often related to theme/event)
Conference proceedings
Articles (peer reviewed journals)
Professional publications
Reports
Student MSc theses, case study reports
 Perhaps with exception of (edited) book all our publications
should be available form our website without cost

•
Idea, plan (Publibase, TUD/OTB xls-based system)
Submission (journal, conference, book,…)
Accepted and published (after revision):
1. Our GDMC website publication (pdf full text)
2. Metis TU Delft output registration
3. Delft Repository (pdf full text, under construction)
4. If work in context of larger project (consortium), then also
on project website; e.g. Bsik RGI
•
Wish: streamline involved systems and workflow

Quality of scientific publications
depends on several actors
• Researcher/authors for primary content (text,
illustrations)
• Editor and reviewers for checking scientific quality
• Publisher for language checking and graphic layout
(important aspect)
• Distribution (digital and analogue), discoverability, long
term availability (archiving)

Natural right to distribute own
publication
• Own website is not complete without this, it is a
complete, coherent palette; in our case: research
topics, staff, publications, test GIS-data and services
• Full papers contain publisher details, which is in fact a
kind of advertisement (where to obtain related
publications) and compensation for their effort
• Distribution via publisher and own website maximizes
availability, which is one of the primary goals of a
University: distribute knowledge
