Description
Organisation: 
Geographic Information Standards Initiative in Sweden
Acronym: 
Stanli
Details
Mission and Objectives: 
Stanlis mission is to contribute to the establishment and use of a spatial data infrastructure in Sweden Stanlis objective is to - offer a user driven forum which public and private sector stakeholders can use in co-operation to develop, adopt, publish and maintain standards, guidelines and other relevant material - participate in international and european standardisation in geographic information and to build on the output from those communities - provide a repeatable methodology for developing, adopting, publishing and maintaining implementation specifications for specific application (or thematic) domains (e.g. transport, hydrography, utilities, …) - set up and run projects initiated, lead and resourced by the stake holders - facilitate understanding and implementation of standards through news letter, courses, seminars and other outreach activities - provide user support and collect feed back
Formal Mandate: 
None
Mandate: 
Stanli is the project area for geographic information within SIS, Swedish Standards Institute. SIS has its mandate a) from SSR and b) from its 1450 or so members …….

    Specific Expertise: 
    Previous Experience relevant for INSPIRE development
    Stanli (its members and their representatives participating in the work) has 15 years experience of working with geographic information standardisation, developing, adopting, publishing and maintaining data specifications. So far our focus has been mainly on data description and data transfer. We understand and use concept modelling techniques as well as formal description techniques such as UML and XML and we have, within our membership, expert knowledge of many of the standards in the ISO 19100 series relevant to Inspire, e.g. GML and Metadata. We also have developed a repeatable methodology for developing, adopting, publishing and maintaining data specifications/implementation rules for different purposes, e.g. transport (road and rail network), hydrography (surface water network) etc.
    Environmental application domains
    Standards currently under development are relevant in connection with e.g. Monitoring Wetland, Monitoring Coastal areas, Monitoring Water pollution, Spatial Planning, Transport development, Water Resources Management, Coastal Zone Management, Floods & extreme weather Prevention and Management, …
    Primary Business
    SIS/Stanlis primary business is within standardization and aims to provide data specifications etc. enabling geographic information interoperability within and between any business area producing or using geographic information, e.g. Telecom, Energy, Water utilities, Emergency services, Public safety, Environmental Management, Agriculture, Transport, Software development, Surveying, Mapping …
