DNF organisation objectives
4
Definition

• DNF is an industry standard for integrating and
  sharing business and geographic information from
  multiple sources.

5
Basic Principles of DNF

• The concept and methods shall be driven by the
  strategic needs of the wider GI community and the
  needs of the information industry.
• Data should be collected only once and then
  re-used.
• Reference information/data should be captured at
  the highest resolution whenever economically
  possible.
• Such information may then, where appropriate,
  subsequently be used to meet analysis and
  multi-resolution publishing requirements.
• DNF will incorporate and adopt existing de facto
  and de jure standards, wherever they are proven
  and robust.

A common framework for all
Application Information


Associated Reference Info.

Base Reference Information Geodetic Reference
System- RTK GPS

DNF is primarily concerned with locating and
referencing application and other business
information

Role of the Generic Conceptual Model D2.5
16
Definition of Annex Themes D2.3

• Annex I
• Coordinate reference systems
• Geographical grid systems
• Geographical names
• Administrative units
• Addresses
• Cadastral parcels
• Transport networks
• Hydrography
• Protected sites

• Annex II
• Elevation
• Land cover
• Ortho-imagery
• Geology

Harmonised spatial data specifications more
stringent for Annex I and II than for Annex III
17
Definition of Annex Themes D2.3

• Annex III
• Statistical units
• Buildings
• Soil
• Land use
• Human health and safety
• Utility and governmental services
• Environmental monitoring facilities
• Production and industrial facilities
• Agricultural and aquaculture facilities
• Population distribution demography

• Area management/restriction/regulation zones
  reporting units
• Natural risk zones
• Atmospheric conditions
• Meteorological geographical features
• Oceanographic geographical features
• Sea regions
• Bio-geographical regions
• Habitats and biotopes
• Species distribution
• Energy Resources
• Mineral resources

The mapping solution

• NMAs and HOs generally use
• Different coordinate systems
• Different projections
• Different datums (Hz V)
• Different content

RESULT Users cannot reference any object
consistently across the coastal zone
29
A next generation SDI solution
Common height datum
Integrated geology (3D)

• Common framework to support
• Interoperable coordinate systems datums
• Interoperable objects along agreed boundary
• Interoperable Feature Catalogues

RESULT Marine SDI and Land SDI link up
seamlessly

A common foundation Great Britain coastal
waters

• SeaZone is creating Base Associated Reference
  Information offshore
• Marine feature types complement those on land
  within extended catalogue
• Differences and replication of objects along
  coast are being addressed
• Base Reference Topography is inter-operable with
  OS MasterMapTM
• Vertical datum issues are being addressed to
  create single 3-D surface from land to sea (VORF)
