Purpose and goal
The work progress with the cooperation between agendas has resulted in a continued work on a new agenda based on the agendas´ ICT BIM for better processes and products´ (2012-01873), ´Research and Innovation for Industrial construction ´(2012-01815) and the possible contents of Position Sweden-An Research and innovation strategy for GI technology.
Results and expected effects
Result of the cooperation with the Big Data and BIM-ICT-agendas was presented at Kartdagarna in March. Workshop results (ex): - needs metadata production, - innovation website for geodata enabling complex searches and free test data over a selected area, - demand for regular dialogues between data producers and the private sector. - application to Vinnova (open data call) with the aim of creating a R&I forum in the field of open data - application to Vinnova (open data call) to create a synthetic population model of Sweden. - Work in progress -SiO-application led by IQ Samhälllsbyggnad.
Approach and implementation
Two workshops have been conducted. The focus group of the first workshop, Geovation, was representants from the private sector. The purpose of the workshop was to capture the needs of private sector around access to spatial data within national spatial data infrastructure What is the for easy access to data, accuracy, quality, etc. and what promotes innovation? As introductions to the workshops presentations where given by Vinnova (Erik Borälv on open data) and Samtrafiken (Elias Arnestrand on Traffic Lab).
