FME in the Northern Territory Government FME User Conference August 2007

Welcome  Role of NTLIS  Dissemination database architecture –Examples  Spatial data download  Automated mapping –Examples  Questions

What is NTLIS ?  Northern Territory Land Information System  A cooperative arrangement between NT Government agencies, other governments and the private sector, designed to deliver better outcomes for government, the community and industry from the use of spatial data resources  Focused on sustainable spatial information management  Build and maintain spatial infrastructure  Consult to government agencies –application design –data storage methods  Coordinate training, licensing and support

Dissemination Databases and the SDI

Example: Aerial Photography Index  Data comes in as CSVs from flight contractors –includes: photo centre point, scale, bearing –obliques  FME appends latest data to 4 existing oracle tables: –frame centres, frame coverages, run lines, project coverages  Data – driven client applications: –Aerial Photography Index –Google extractor  Rapid turnaround / publish timeframe  ‘Codifies’ data load procedure

Example 2: Building Asset Management System  BAMS ‘spatialisation’: currently in development  Data maintained in AutoCAD DWG files –Greater than 20 levels / feature types –periodic simplification using LISP routines down to 4 levels –FME workbench run by the data custodian  FME builds 4 dissemination database tables: –primary assets, building & roof outlines, ground floor details  Extract to ILISMaps & Google Earth Enterprise  FME captures the conversion procedure

NTLIS Spatial Data Download: Spatial Direct  Role based authentication: ILIS –layers –attributes  Shapefile attribute substitution –ensure consistency between users  ANZLIC / ISO metadata inclusion  Auto downloader: used by –Police & Emergency Services maintain offline data stores –NTLIS web applications

NTLIS Spatial Data Broker: Development

NTLIS Automated Mapping  Web form –select map or booklet options –retrieve output  Users (NT Gov) can add custom regions and data layers  Produces SVG and PDF output

NTLIS Automated Mapping

On the Horizon..  Increasing use of FME for dissemination database establishment -use in gaining buy-in to produce KML as interim to Oracle  Automated Mapping: MapText –move from manually placed, scale based text –migration to Linux  Spatial Data Download: Online Broker –public access
