Introduction
 This presentation will include a brief history of the
development of the Manitoba Land Initiative and
include a policy perspective for the sharing of data
and:
 Give some insight into the internal operations of the
warehouse site with an emphasis on data related to
Southern Manitoba.

The (MLI)
 What is the MLI :
 A Co-operative Provincial
Government Initiative for
Health,
the development of a
Finance - LTO,
digital on-line process to
Intergovernmental Affairs,
house, display and
Land Management Services,
distribute Provincial
Conservation/Water Stewardship,
geospatial data.
Energy, Science and Technology.
Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives,
Transportation and Government Services,
Industry, Economic Development and Mines

History
There was a need for Manitoba to:
 investigate a method for housing its own geospatial information
(1999-2000).
 collectively think about many department’s geospatial data
products as a single corporate asset.
 develop mechanisms for the collection, storage and
dissemination of its data products.
 create a interdepartmental structure for developing processes for
a Manitoba data sharing and delivery service.

MLI delivery understanding:
 All data is a corporate asset and its ownership never
changes.
 Data contributors can advance their core geospatial
datasets into the system at any time.
 Data contributors determine what datasets they release to
the system.
7
Results of the process are:
 A cross departmental, cross functional relationship for digital
data sharing.
 A corporate partnership of departments was formalized and a
provincial working group was established.
 Data sharing, data integration and standards development
between departments for geospatial data products.
 A provincial mandate for the MLI process was instituted that
provides for the development and provincial framework for the
management of lands related information.

MLI Achievements
The process has:




Raised the profile of land related systems
Integrated on-line access to land data
Improved our data currency processes
Provided a process for electronic transactions internally and
externally
 Provided smaller departments with equal access to data
 Provided internal and external user time and cost savings

MLI Warehouse Utilization

Summary
 Future program development is advancing the MLI’s
technical capabilities
 Data continues to flow into the warehouse at an increased
rate (approximately 80 Gb)
 Human resource commitments continue by all user groups.
As of March 1, 2005 there are 5600 registered users.
12
Some Future Activities
 Striving to achieve a more seamless mapping and
mapping framework.
 Continue to accept geospatially related data sets
 Investigate partnership relationships with other data
products (NFIS), Intergraph and others.

 Line work used for topographic maps
 Networks - highways, power grids, rivers and streams
 Points for site locations, addresses
 Polygons for Cadastral, Property mapping
 Raster for Ortho photos, Remote sensing
 Referential - overview maps, metadata

Metadata management
Spatial Metadata
Management System
(SMMS) is being
implemented with the
assistance of
Geoconnections.

Web Map Publisher
A pilot project is
currently being
completed with
Intergraph , to evaluate
and possibly implement
this Web Map product
as the next generation
data access tool.

In conclusion
 The Manitoba Land Initiative (MLI) is a active and
on-going program for the effective collection,
storage and dispensing of digital geospatial data
across the Manitoba government and to the
public.
