2. 4. Classic SDI
   • Government sponsored and lead
   • 5. Government paid-for
   • 6. Government developed
   • 7. Not very web 2.0 -
     • Limited opportunities for community involvement (provide data services)
     • 8. Forums / community space
3. 9. Neo SDI
   • Commmunity sponsored and lead
   • 10. Core government funding but allow for others to add value
   • 11. Community developed
   • 12. Very Web 2.0
     • Critically dependent on community involvement (data providers and developers)
     • 13. Widgets and APIs for re-use
4. 14. Firstly though what is an SDI for??
   • Do we really need one?
   • 15. Is it not being provided for by the market?
   • 16. What problem does it solve?
5. 17. What Are the Business Problems?#1
   • Making Public Data Public
     • We create data as part of the task of government
     • 18. You want that data
     • 19. We want you to have that data (yes, really!)
     • 20. You need to know what it is, where to get it from and other stuff about it
6. 21. What Are the Business Problems?#2
   • Sweating our assets (doing more with less)
     • G2G reporting, data sharing within and between government
     • 22. G2B delivery and service agents need effective data
     • 23. G2C scrutiny, transparency, informed choice
     • 24. G2C marketing and promotion
7. 25. Plan A?
   • Data.gov(.uk) for spatial datasets?
     • Catalogue of assets
     • 26. Standardised (linked) data formats
   • LEAVE THE REST UP TO THE COMMUNITY
   • 27. IS THAT ENOUGH?
   • 28. IS SPATIAL SPECIAL?
8. 29. Plan B?
   • Provide catalogue
   • 30. Provide viewing services for datasets
   • 31. Standardisation of datasets to allow added value
   • 32. Leave APIs and WIDGETS to the community?
9. 33. Summary
   • Have we come full circle?
   • 34. Is what we want out of a neoSDI the same or different?
   • 35. Votes and thoughts please?
   • 36. Thank you!
