Zusammenfassung

Der Markt für Geoinformation ist eng mit der Entwicklung der IT-Teehnologie verbunden. Das Mooresehe Gesetz, die Verdopplung der Prozessorleistung etwa alle zwei Jahre, führt zu einem exponentiellen Wachstum der Informationstechnologie. Die Produktion von Geoinformation wird immer kostengünstiger und schneller. Die Grenzkosten für die Verbreitung und Darstellung von Geoinformation sind wie bei allen digitalen Produkten nahezu vernachlässigbar. Zwei Milliarden Menschen weltweit besitzen heute Smartphones und nutzen Karten- und Navigationsdienste. Zugleich entstehen ganz neue Geschäftsmodelle. Zu diesen zählen das Plattformgeschäft, Volunteered Geographie Information und Crowd Sourcing. Technologieentwicklung und neue Geschäftsmodelle haben dazu geführt, dass aus dem einstmals behördlich geprägten Nischenmarkt ein globaler Massenmarkt geworden ist. Das amtliche Geoinformationswesen muss sich in diesem Umfeld neu positionieren. Ebenso ist zu diskutieren, wie die Gesellschaft an dieser Entwicklung partizipieren kann.

Abstract

The market for geospatial information is tightly coupled with the progress in IT technology. Moore’s law that microprocessor performance will double about every other year has driven a general exponential growth in information technology. The ramifications for the geospatial information market are significant. The production costs of geospatial information sink and the marginal costs of dissemination of geographic content are nearly negligible. Globally two billion people own smartphones and use mapping and navigation services on a daily base. In parallel, new business models emerge such as the platform business, volunteered geographic information and crowd sourcing. The market for geospatial information, formerly a niche market dominated by government agencies, changed to a global mass market Government agencies have to reinvent themselves in this new environment. In parallel, privacy issues and the societal ownership on geospatial information have to be cleared.
