Have you ever wondered how a smart city manages to keep everything from urban planning to environmental monitoring running smoothly? The answer lies in something called Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). While it might sound technical, SDI framework plays a crucial role in making geographic information accessible and integrated, benefiting everyone.

Imagine a world where data about locations – from urban planning maps to environmental monitoring systems – is at your fingertips. SDI turns this vision into reality. By connecting data, technology, and people, SDI helps improve decision-making and efficiency in numerous areas of our lives.

Smart City: SEDIMARK Helsinki Pilot and Spatial Data

The SEDIMARK Helsinki pilot aims to demonstrate how Digital Twin technology can revolutionize urban mobility with spatial data as the backbone. SEDIMARK's context broker (NGSI-LD) handles linked data, property graphs, and semantics using three main constructs: Entities, Properties, and Relationships. This integration opens up opportunities for new services and the development of a functional city, aiming to enhance geospatial data integration within urban digital twins. In Helsinki, the approach focuses on transitioning from a monolithic architecture to a modular, API-driven approach, developing Digital Twin viewers and tools, and collaborating on a city-wide Geospatial Data.

Join us on this journey as we dive into the world of Spatial Data Infrastructure and see how it's making our city smarter, more efficient, and better prepared for the future.
