Spatial Data, Issues, Data
Formats & Data Models
•
•

•
Scoping Exercise
Identify Datasets that are available (Partners)
Identify Other Datasets
Identify Gaps
Data Formats
Data Availability
Data Models e.g. ArcGIS Marine Data Model (may be
important to determine where LNS fits amongst other
projects?); ArcHydro Data Model (used for managing fish and
aquatic data) –
(gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc03/p1071.pdf)
• Issues surrounding access to and use of spatial data e.g.
licenses, copyright

Development Plan & Timeline
•
•
•
•
•
Online Mapping/GIS Template (circulated in December
2009) to provide information to help us to begin to
acquire spatial datasets, identify gaps, consider data
models, identify requirements of Partners/ Stakeholders
begin development etc…
Acquire spatial datasets for development of Online
Mapping/GIS demonstrator (for March 2010)
Circulate Online Mapping/GIS Proposal Document
(January/February 2010)
Develop demonstrator in time for March Launch Event
(January 2010 – March 2010) to be embedded in the
LNS Website
Continue development of the Online Mapping/GIS Portal 19
