SDDI Guide

A handbook on cross-sector data infrastructure and application of geo-based digital twins.

The handbook is aimed at decision-makers in municipal IT. A supplementary management report is intended to prepare the core statements for political decision-makers.

Title SDDI Guide

Goals of the handbook

  • To sensitize regions and municipalities to the topic of cross-sectoral data integration.
  • To enable regions and municipalities to use existing data and service offerings from spatial data infrastructures such as the GDI Bavaria directly for various use cases.
  • To put regions and municipalities in a position to build, supplement and, if necessary, operate a data infrastructure with the aim of cross-sector data integration (themselves or with the help of service providers).
  • To provide detailed guidance on the procedure for building a data infrastructure for cross-sector data integration. For this purpose, the Smart District Data Infrastructure (SDDI) method developed in the field of data management for smart cities is used.
  • To provide an overview of available open standards for networking existing information systems and sensor platforms.
  • To present existing solutions.
  • To provide a rough framework for efforts and costs of cross-sector data integration. 

Contents of the Guide

  • Role of data management and system architectures (platforms, data infrastructures, cloud services, Internet of Things, protocols, analytics, applications) in the realization of Smart City and Smart Regions projects
  • Challenges in building data infrastructures for Smart Cities and Smart Regions
  • Role of interoperability in data infrastructures for Smart Cities and Smart Regions
  • Explaining the concept of cross-sector data integration based on a distributed, open data infrastructure (geo-based digital twin), objectives of the SDDI concept, SDDI components and core components
  • Detailed guidance / "recipes" based on the SDDI methodology for building a data infrastructure in Smart Cities and Smart Regions
    • Basis: RM-ODP (ISO/IEC 10746)
    • Enterprise Viewpoint: identification of action areas and challenges, identification of stakeholders and participants, definition of use cases, requirements analysis for data and SDDI components
    • Engineering Viewpoint: defining interfaces, syntactic interoperability
    • Information Viewpoint: Data models and semantic interoperability
    • Computational Viewpoint: interaction of components, data flow
    • Technology Viewpoint: defining hardware and software for SDDI components, effort estimation for implementation
  • Presentation of existing solutions (from single components to applications) with references to open source components
  • Outlook: Marketplace for services and applications
  • Appendix:
    • Templates for requirements analysis and effort estimation, maturity assessment...  
    • Short explanation of essential standards (especially of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC))
