Regional Challenges, Benefits and Opportunities of
Exchanging Geodetic Data
17-19 October 2017, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan
[Program]
The list of presentations:
- Mr. Graeme Blick (New Zealand) -
What are the social, technical, environmental and economic benefits
and opportunities of accessing and sharing geodetic data?
Overview – provided insights into why geodetic data exchanging
/ sharing is beneficial to various sectors from a technical,
societal and scientific perspective. It was also mentioned that
geodetic data assists disaster risk reduction; fulfils a broader
“community” responsibility of information sharing and knowledge
building; and that data sharing is a pathway for a modernised Global
Geodetic Reference Frame (GGRF) and capacity development.

- Mr. Rob Sarib (Australia) -
Exchanging and Sharing Geodetic Data
Overview - provide insight into data sharing terminologies and
policy development; includes principles, rationale for data sharing
and a structure of a policy .

- Dr. John Dawson (Australia) - Geodetic Data Sharing
and Formats
Overview – using Australia as an example this presentation explained
the geodetic data types and formats that should be shared, and how
it can be shared. In particular GNSS static data, GNSS real time
data streams, sea level and tidal data, and gravity data.

- Mr. Neil Ashcroft (Singapore) - Exchanging and
Sharing Geodetic Data
Overview - discussed the importance of standards to under write the
ability to share geodetic data between organisations.

- Mr. Peter Hedlund (United Kingdom) - Spatially
Connected Government in Great Britain
Overview – gave to examples of how open data standards and sharing
of the Ordinance Survey Reference Network allowed agencies in the UK
to benefit from using an “active” network as a definitive source of
positional truth.

- Mr. Teo CheeHai (United Nations) - Compendium on
Licensing of Geospatial Information:Facilitating Data Sharing of
Geodetic Data
Overview - linked the importance of data sharing to the 2030 Agenda
of Sustainable Development and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Management. The presentation also overviewed the UN-GGIM Compendium
on Licensing Geospatial Information, and addressed the release of
geospatial information (in this case geodetic data) under an “open”
license.

- Dr. John Dawson (Australia) - Geodetic Data Sharing
and Formats
Overview – reviewed the data sharing
challenges as measured in the 2013 UN-GGIM GGRF Global
Questionnaire.
[handouts]
- Mr. Basara Miyahara (Japan) -
Summary of UN-GGIM-AP questionnaire on geodetic data sharing
Overview – ummarised the UN GGIM AP responses
from past and present questionnaires which then showed the current
state of play of geodetic data sharing, and any trends or major
obstacles in the region.

- Mr. Mikael Lilje (Sweden) - Data Sharing in Europe
Overview - delivered a presentation on the various Nordic and global
data sharing initiatives and agreements (including INSPIRE) that
Sweden are involved in. It also highlighted a regional and formal
approach to sharing spatial information between countries.
