Presentation Outline The new policy environment – personal reflection Update on the recent and future activities of the Office of Spatial Policy Lessons learned in trying to move the spatial industry to a linked data paradigm Where to from here…….?

New Policy Environment

ASDD Nodes (government, business, citizen) Main avenue of data exploration KML Linked data State and Territory Globes Main avenue of data provision Phase 1 - structured spatial data The Lure of Visualisation

ASDD The visualisation/delivery layer has no future or intrinsic value Without these layers The Lure of Visualisation

These crucial layers underlay any solution The Lure of Visualisation

ANZ Foundation Spatial Data Framework Making Common Foundation Spatial Data Ubiquitous Across Australia and New Zealand

FSDF Booklet Version 2 Revised governance, policy and theme description information Delivered soft copy and hard copy 10 Dataset Booklets Extended data set information Delivered soft copy Each theme will have its own dataset booklet 5 dataset templates drafted Theme and Data Set Descriptions

Modelling Within The FSDF Program Modelling – Responsibility of the FSDF program board (OSP and GA). This is aimed at delivering an overarching cross theme model for integrating datasets. Dataset Modelling – Responsibility of the Sponsor and Custodian and aimed at improving the availability, quality and efficiency of foundational datasets. Product Modelling - Responsibility of the Sponsor and Custodian and aimed at improving the derived products that can be created from an open and no cost spatial foundation.

Ongoing Governance Structure

Roadblocks to Progress Highly restrictive licensing, access and pricing models for key jurisdictional data sets - policy the lack of an identified specific funding stream for the creation and sustainment of national spatial data sets and supporting infrastructure the absence of a single point of national leadership for a SDI development in Australia leading edge, but stove-piped and often duplicated, information infrastructures being developed without long term plans for the realisation of a return on investment or a whole-of-government approach Culture!!
