Implementing INSPIRE Data Transformation Models and Web Services with FME to support European SDI for both 2D and 3D
Wednesday, 27 May 2015, 0900 – 1030 hrs
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Open standards have evolved to the point that they are now one of the key foundations to building successful SDIs. However, bridging the gap between open standards and proprietary GIS, CAD, 3D, and BIM remains an ongoing challenge given the fundamental differences in the underlying data models. This workshop will focus on practical approaches for transforming data to INSPIRE and multinational standards, creating effective transformation workflows that meet mandated requirements and enable sharing of data without scripting or programming. The main focus will be on solution patterns for reading data from CAD and GIS and writing INSPIRE GML data for a variety of Annex I,II and III themes. Consideration will be given to other related standards such as CityGML and AIXM. Discussion will include experiences and lessons learned from recent project implementations, and challenges that have arisen from integrating across a wider range of data types, including BIM, point clouds and raster. Methods will be explored for publishing these workflows as OGC web services. To complete the cycle, attendees will see how INSPIRE GML and web services can be consumed to provide value-added functionality to existing GIS, BIM, and CAD systems. Finally, best practices related to scalability, data quality and performance will also be reviewed. Attendees may use their laptops or download materials.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To become familiar with key concepts and general approaches for integrating between proprietary GIS, CAD, 3D, and BIM systems and typical INSPIRE data models. Also, specific examples will be explored in the context of the FME data interoperability toolset.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Anyone who needs to consume or provide INSPIRE data, or work with it in some way, be it GIS or data analysts, or those who need to manage integration projects.
WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS
Attendees may use their laptops or download materials. A URL will be provided to allow users to download any required software, demo data and workshop instruction PDFs. Attendees can then follow along during the workshop or download the materials for review after the workshop. A laptop is not required for those who simply wish to observe and work on it later. Note: FME software will run on Windows, Linux or Mac platforms; minimum 2GB free disk space and 4GB RAM recommended.
