Contents Principles of e-business models Differentiating factors of e-busines models Success factors and business development Examples for commerial use Developing country SDI workflow User rights management Summary 2
Basic principles of e-business Business models are influenced by almost three factors: Architecture Revenue model Benefit Changes of factors lead to new business modells Business Model Benefit 3
Basic principles of e-business Replacement of an existing BM Enhancement of an existing BM 4
New e-business models differs from others very clearly not very clearly in its benefits in its architecture in its revenue model 5
Characteristics of successful e-business models Successful e-business models have a strong economic focus are more innovative are different are customer oriented 6
Strategy for business development in target markets with partners without partners Most important reason for partnerships: developing new markets 7

BM: Change in architecture Expectations/demands of geospatial industry Service Compatibility with standard GIS components Available as standard services Standard interfaces for interoperability and communication Non exclusive providing documentation Hosting High availability (99,5%, 24/7) Performance Ø 2,5 seconds per request System redundancy and load balancing Service monitoring 24/7 Tech. support better 1 hr 9
BM: Change in revenue model Margin distribution Infrastructure provider (20%) National Mapping Agencies Reseller (20%) Private sector companies Content Provider (30%) Data provider Hosting Partner (30%) Business Partner, Content Provider, 3rd Party 10
BM: Change in benefits, target groups GIS-User New entry points for applications, portals, International Organisations Insureance companies, Industry, Economy, Press Basic information about regions, municipalities Developer of web-services (consumer oriented) Geoinformation and Geoservices online Mobile services 11

Gazetteer: BKG Maps: BKG (+) open standard (WFS) (+) data qualiy (BKG) Business model? Target group? User/customer? Expert use 14
Gazetteer: Wikipedia (+/-) Data and data updates (Wiki) (+/-) Integration in GIS (support of APIs: Google, MSN, WMS, ). Business concept: none, knowledge management by community Need for geospatial knowledge Public use 15
DOW: identified disadvantages secondary data sets (processed; quality?) continuous updating not guaranteed. updating processes are not conducted by the EU countries themselves stand-alone databases (interaction; standards?) based on point information no spatial relations (contiguity, containment etc.) not every one is connected with maps 16
DOW: Advantages of EGN differently organized geographical names data sources (maintained by the european states) interoperable OGC web services harmonized data model supporting official European languages web-gis reference application, desktop extension linkage to EuroGlobalMap (EGM), EuroRegionalMap (ERM) and Seamless Administrative Boundaries of Europe (SABE) 17
Current assessment of EGN BM Benefits Public data, reliable European wide harmonized Endonyms/Exonyms OGC compliant service Guaranteed service level Data quality 18
Current assessment EGN BM Architecture (1) Public institutions get harmonized data, software and access rights; they guarantee content maintenance Consulting on request Architecture (2) Selling of data base Software selling Online use of service 19
Current assessments of EGN BM Revenue Model Selling database (license, maintenance) Selling of software (license, maintenance) Consulting / system integration in own infrastructure Online use of service (Flatrate, Prepaid) No exlusive distribution Problem According to consortium agreement all deliverables are available for free, except mass use of service (benefit for reference group members) 20
Further steps Discover and study existing use of geo names Discover and study current business models with geo names Define the benefits of EGN clearly in comparison to current status of geo name use Be innovative and customer oriented Identify partners for market development 21
