Government GIS

The Philippines reviews proposed web GIS system standards

By Clarice Africa | 4 January 2012

The Regional Geographic Information Network (RGIN) has evaluated the proposed data standards and data policy of the Climate Change and Risk Reduction Information Support System Project (CRISP) to be presented to the RGIN meeting on 27 January, 2012 and to the Regional Development Council for final approval and adoption.

The RGIN is a network of 20 regional line agencies, five provincial local government units, and a Non-Government Organisation which intends to establish a more systematic and organised sharing of geographically referenced information and knowledge among network partners and critical stakeholders in the region.

The data standards and data policies include the information on Geographic Information System data structures for the project, and the data sharing policy and responsibilities of the members and other end-users of the GIS data.

The review indicated the urgent need for geospatial data to prepare and respond to threats posed by natural calamities, and to explore ways on how to keep the system sustainable. The members also suggested to include the guidelines on uploading, updating, deleting, and sharing the data with third parties.

All recommendations will be incorporated in the Operations Manual of the system.

According to NEDA Knowledge Management Division Chief Ronilo H. Bulseco, the three cities in the region, Tuguegarao, Cauayan and Santiago shall also be encouraged to become part of the RGIN and they shall also be briefed on the project for wider and more accurate information system in local development planning.
