Advisory committee
To accelerate the distribution, researchdevelopment and public awareness of geospatial
information, we formed the “Geo Spatial
Information Center (GsC) advisory committee”(advisory committee) with the aim of taking into
consideration a wide range of opinions from
related organizations, companies and experts withknowledge and experience. We appointed sevenadvisors to the committee, chosen from academia,industry and government, who all possess
extensive knowledge of the efficient use ofgeospatial information.
The advisory committee will offer guidance andproposals with regard to the following three areas.
(1)GsC management formation and governing
structure(2)GsC data and effective distribution andoperations(3)Miscellaneous GSC management related issues

Based on the opinions and ideas of the advisorycommittee, we are preparing to implement a
management plan for self-sustaining operations of
the center.
We openly welcome user opinion. To inquire
about the availability or accessibility of specificdata, or to express opinions, requests, or ask

Q> How to upload purchasing data for sale?
A> In addition to uploading and releasing free (and) open data, you can also sellpurchasing data. We can handle sales procedures for the data provider. Procedures
include estimates, payment transactions and delivery to the client.
Steps for sales data procedures are as follows.
Step1: Determining sales data unit and priceTo issue an estimate through the GsC website, it is necessary to not only choose purchasing data contents, but also todetermine along with our sales management the data sales unit (range of spatial and time-variants), unit price (including
usage coefficient variation), ways of submitting a sales report, and the timing of payment transactions.
Step2: Upload data contents to GsC
After planning sales contents and the detail of sales procedures, you can upload the purchasing data (data providers
should submit a sales report regularly).
We will support sales planning, sales management and the uploading of contents.
We provide a new opportunity for your sales achievement through the GsC. Please contact us for more information.

➢ Status report

One year has passed since the GsC launched. Our gradually increasing amount of content data finallyreached 1,000 data sets by the end of last year.The frequently used data categories on GsC are
Seismic waveform, seismic coefficient, tsunami inundation height, red relief image maps withmicrotopography, and CS pictorial drawing maps.On the other hand, the most highly accessed
application on GsC is the future population and household number prediction tool application, which iseffective for various types of planning. Please check out the GsC planning with Future population andhousehold number prediction tool showcase that we have uploaded.

➢ Future plans
During this fiscal year we will correct and upload open data from municipalities to reach a goal of
2,000 data sets.In addition to data sets, we will also improve our showcase contents which
demonstrate efficient use.We welcome your opinions, requests for new types of services, opinions
and other feedback. Please contact us through our website.
