Landsat és Sentinel összehangolt adatpolitikája

A napokban jelent meg a HUNAGI Naplóban a Landsat 8 és a Sentinel 2 együttműködése az LDCM műhold felbocsátása kapcsán. Mai postánkban: Roger Longhorn adta közre a GSDI LSE szakbizottság fórumán a Landsat 8 (NASA/USGS) és a Sentinel 2 (ESA/Astrium) adatpolitikájáról az alábbi hírt. A Landsat adatok korábbi ingyenessé tételével nagyságrendekkel nőtt az adatlehívások száma nem csak a kormányzati szervek, de az ipar is hasznát vette.
FYI ref Landsat Business model:
NASA's Lawrence Fridl on the Landsat Business Model: "The open data sharing policy is a foundation of the Landsat business model. In 2008 USGS made all, now, 3.7 million satellite images freely available to the public. Besides following a use-taxpayers-money-only-once principle, it was believed that the increased accessibility would inspire more innovative projects both publicly and privately. And the use of Landsat data exploded. From some 25000 downlinks pr year to 3 million downlinks! In some ways it is similar to the freemium business model. It works. Although the largest user group are governmental improving services within homeland security, water management etc, there are some major enterprises to be found as well. Google is one of the most prominent users of Landsat data but we have also seen innovations like ESRI's ChangeMatters [http://changematters.esri.com/compare]."
Lawrence Fridl is one of the GEO community's ambassadors for showing the socio-economic benefits from Earth observations.
Extract above is from the online article by Bebte Lilja Bye of Science 2.0 (www.science20.com) at:

It is equally interesting to see the recent joint announcement from NASA/USGS and ESA on closer collaboration between Landsat 8 and the ESA Sentinel missions. Sentinel's data policy is belowfrom a presentation made by the European Space Agency at a workshop in January 2012:
Sentinel Data Policy = full and open access to Sentinel data to all users
• Aim for maximum availability of data & corresponding access services
• Support to increasing demand of EO data for  climate change initiatives  implementation of environmental policies In practical terms
• Anybody can (has the right to) access acquired Sentinel data
• Licenses for the Sentinel data are free of charge
• Online access with users registration including acceptation of generic T&C

Well done, ESA!" - írta Roger Longhorn a GSDI Outreach and Communication szakbizottság társelnöke

About the LAPSI project

LAPSI is a project in the FP7 program of the European Union.
Legal Aspects of the Public Sector Information and Re-use.
Timespan: 30 months. Participants: 20 institutions and organistions. Coordinator: University of Torino.
Kick-off Meeting: Torino, 26-28 March, 2010

Role of HUNAGI in the LAPSI Project

HUNAGI contribution is related mainly to the Geographic Information which are produced, maintained and used in land management, including surveying, mapping, cadastre and land registration, remote sensing and serviced by relevant spatial data infrastructures. From a national economic point of view, the uniform land registration system operating in Hungary is one of the most important databases of the country. This system allows to obtain over the time updated legal and geometric data, as well as other information (e.g. on ownership, land uses, mortgages, etc.). The cadastral maps integrated into the uniform land registration system show spatial relations and references of rights, facts and other information appearing on the property sheets, serving as a basis of engineering planning for the national economy. The national spatial data infrastructure can be built on this uniform, authorized and public land registration system, in small partial modules, following the EU INSPIRE Directive. HUNAGI will participate to all Working Groups and actively take part to Working Groups 01, 03 and 04. It also makes its facilities available to host one of the thematic network seminars or conferences.
