Data management at GSCQ CGQ

Data management at GSC-Q (CGQ)

• The LCNP team
• Laboratoire de cartographie
• numérique et de photogrammétrie

Organisation

• GSC-Québec (QGC) opted for a  domain based 
  data management approach
• 3 persons are  permanently  affected to data
  management activities.
• GSC-Q being a small division,the LCNP team can
  coordinate IM efforts with relative ease.

Organisation

• Pierre Brouillette Grenville
• Kathleen Lauzière Appalachian
• Eric Boisvert Quaternary/Hydrogeology
• Christine Deblonde Development
• Marco Boutin (INRS) Photogrammetry
• Ruth Boivin (GID ESS-Info) Mapping
• Serge J. Paradis Bossing around Mapping

We need tools

• A model without a tool is an engine without the
  car (yeah, sure, in theory, this thing can do
  0-100 km/h in 5 sec.)
• A common model orients tool development
• Experience shows that we need more a  meta
  model  than a model. Tools must then be
  flexible
• We put effort in tool development to help
  integrate information from the field to the web
