Spatial Data Management

The principles behind spatial data management are simple: the geographic data necessary for good governance should be collected only once, readily accessible and in formats that are usable by a variety of users and applications.

Under these principles, data managers must:

  • Publish metadata about their geographic information
  • Make data available according to standard interoperable specifications
  • Offer services for metadata discovery, viewing, download and data transformation

Corporations are looking for ways to improve spatial data management as a way to cut costs, eliminate waste, avoid duplicate efforts and improve customer service. In some ways, the real value of spatial data management is in understanding all of the data assets internally.

Spatial Data Science

The discipline of extracting insights from data tied to geographic locations. It blends GIS, statistics, machine learning, and domain knowledge to analyze where things happen and why.

The key elements of this discipline are:

  • Clustering hotspots by using spatial analysis techniques to identify statistically significant groups in geographic data.
  • Machine Learning: spatial lag model, proximity indices, spatial cross-validation, geometric graph neural networks, raster deep learning for imagery.
  • Geocomputation: routing, catchment analysis, network and terrain analysis

Applications of these principles include: urban planning, environmental monitoring, climate risk, public health, mobility, retail siting, agriculture, disaster response, logistics..

Geographic Information Retrieval

GIR is concerned with improving the quality of geographically specific information retrieval with a focus on access to unstructured documents such as those found on the Web.

There are several aspects of GIR that need to be improved:

  • detecting geographical references.
  • toponym disambiguation.
  • indexing documents, both spatially and for keywords.
  • ranking documents, both spatially and for thematic content.

Metadata Management

Why is Metadata Management an important aspect of good Data Governance?

To turn data into information assets requires that you not only consider data governance but also metadata management. Without a complete understanding of the data upon which an organization relies, decisions about how it should be managed and used for competitive advantage, internal business processes and regulatory compliance will be based more on instinct than on facts.
