En el contexto tecnológico de Internet de las Cosas (IoT), estos sistemas suponen la medición y el monitoreo de diversas variables del entorno. La heterogeneidad propia de los datos capturados y los instrumentos de medición utilizados, dificulta la interoperabilidad entre los diversos componentes de IoT. Tales problemas han generado interés en el desarrollo de métodos y herramientas que soporten la heterogeneidad de los datos de sensores, de las mediciones y de los dispositivos de medición. Existen herramientas privadas que han resuelto algunos de estos problemas de interoperabilidad, pero restringen a los desarrolladores de proyectos IoT a utilizar sensores de marcas específicas, limitando el uso generalizado en la comunidad. Adicionalmente, se requiere resolver el reto de integrar protocolos diversos en un mismo proyecto IoT. Con el propósito de subsanar esas dificultades, se plantea una arquitectura basada en redes de sensores y software inspirados en la cultura libre, que permita la comunicación mediante protocolos diversos en un escenario de aplicación donde se monitorea la calidad del aire para informar a los usuarios, y que mediante la generación de alertas favorezca la toma de decisiones en su vida cotidiana, teniendo en cuenta los datos provenientes de los sensores.

Advances in Cartography and GIScience of the ICA

The Commission described an SDI from the Enterprise Viewpoint (purpose, scope and policies for an SDI), Information Viewpoint (semantics of information and information processing in an SDI) and Computational Viewpoint (functional decomposition of the SDI into a set of services that interact through interfaces). The Enterprise Viewpoint model included six types of stakeholders in an SDI: Policy Maker, Producer, Provider, Broker, Value-added Reseller and End User. Subsequently, the Commission identified 39 sub-types of these stakeholders, though a better description of them might be as specializations, special cases, attributes, activities or roles. We have identified and reviewed all the literature that has referenced the Commission's papers on the SDI models. Most use the Commission's papers for the definitions of an SDI and of the parts, processes and stakeholders in an SDI. In this paper, we discuss all those that have applied the ICA SDI stakeholder model, proposed improvements to the model and/or highlighted parts of the model that are not well understood. We also discuss some issues we identified when reviewing the models. Subsequently, we plan on proposing some revisions and expansions on this ICA model of the stakeholders in a spatial data infrastructure.

The Multi-view SDI assessment framework collects multiple assessment approaches and methods with the aim to assess many different aspects of SDI in a comprehensive and unbiased way. Despite the potential strengths of the framework, its complex design raises concerns about its usability and applicability for SDI assessment. In this article we evaluate the application of the Multi-view SDI assessment framework. In addition, we ask the potential users of the framework to evaluate its applicability to assess SDIs. The results show that the framework could be applied to 21 National SDIs. Evaluation of the application process reveals that the completeness of assessment data and time needed to measure indicators depends strongly on the assessment methods used. It is recommended to use those methods that need less time to measure assessment indicators. The results also show that a significant part of the measurements could not be done due to survey questions not being filled in by the respondents. The results also show that the users tend to agree with the applicability of the Multi-view SDI assessment framework to assess SDIs.

Although recently user-driven approaches are being remarked in some SDI initiatives, a long way is necessary to be undertaken in order to meet the actual needs of users and decision makers and translate their contexts into SDI language and components. It is increasingly accepted the necessity to shift from data-centric to user-centric SDIs. This paper focuses on methodological issues to build user-driven SDIs into the context of sustainable development, supported on ontology concepts. It is part of the work ongoing in the project 606PI0294 of CYTED, entitled "Evaluation and strengthening of spatial data infrastructures in sustainable development in Latin-America and the Caribbean", that is being undertaken by eight countries of the region: Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain. In the first project activities, most sustainable development indicators were found suitable to be mapped at sub-national levels, but it was also recognized that country based customization will be always needed. Building a tailor made SDI considering spatial ontology perspective, could be an appropriate alternative to strength and support this userdriven approach in assessing sustainable development.

The topic of the paper is strongly in line with the theme of GSDI 10 "Small Island Perspectives on Global Challenges: The Role of Spatial Data in Supporting a Sustainable Future" focusing on the Caribbean. No island nation in this region today can ignore the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Sustainable development demands complex decisionmaking that weighs up economic, social and environmental consequences of the choices that are made about how resources will be used. Such complex decisionmaking requires ready access by decision-makers and stakeholders to current, relevant and accurate spatial information. SDIs that support the collecting, maintaining, analyzing, presenting and disseminating spatial data are vital in the complex decision-making processes of the future, particularly for sustainable development. Therefore, the existing SDI-initiatives in the Caribbean are evaluated in order to contribute to the enhancement of SDI development for sustainable development in this region. In this way, we can explore the degrees in which the Caribbean island nations are prepared to establish (successful) SDIs, expose best practices in the region, identify key problems/barriers, and assess the performance of existing SDI-projects whether these initiatives are actually achieving goals such as increasing efficiency and effectiveness in the management of information or helping to advance health, education, social welfare, security, safety, etc.. Different evaluation approaches are used in order to arrive at a more comprehensive evaluation. The approaches that are considered are: SDI-Readiness

Another important issue for the SDI is its complexity, so sustainable SDIs can be developed when social, organisational and culture issues are resolved in harmony with the technological ones. With this in mind, the SDI readiness model has been developed, based on the assessment of some intrinsic issues of pre-existing infrastructures (WWW and communication infrastructure) and the analysis of other social, organisational and culture factors. This chapter focuses on methodological issues of the SDI readiness model and answers the questions of why, what and how this model has been developed. The second part presents the SDI readiness model application for 27 selected countries of different parts in the world. In addition, a hierarchical cluster analysis to identify relative homogeneous groups of countries is applied, using the values of SDI readiness indices. The results depict the main strengths and

To date, this work has been restricted to the Enterprise and Information Viewpoints from the ISO Open Distributed Processing standard. The Commission has developed models for these two viewpoints. The models describe how these two different parts of an SDI fit together in the viewpoints in question. The models cannot be seen as a final result, but more as a small step towards a model that defines the previously mentioned overall model of the SDI and its technical characteristics. During the model development process, the role of the different actors in an SDI have also been identified in Use Case diagrams of an SDI. The model is developed using the Unified Modelling Language (UML).

These studies have focused on countries that are implementing various components of SDI. A survey of national spatial data clearinghouses worldwide in 2003 depicted that 67 countries had a published version of a clearinghouse on the Web, 13 had clearinghouses in the process of being published, and 113 countries had yet to implement a national geospatial data clearinghouse. With the majority of countries yet to initiate clearinghouse activities, one is inclined to ask what the obstacles are that are impeding efforts. The goal of this work is to develop a model for assessing the obstacles for SDI development, particularly in developing countries, and to prioritize strategies for surmounting these obstacles.
