John Gallagher Manager, Data Acquisition and Management State Government of Victoria SSI Victorial Summit 2008 Wednesday 17 September 2008 Notification and Editing Service (NES): Update

Presentation Outline  Driver – errors in Vicmap;  CSDL Vision  NES Components and Roles;  NES Plan;  Release 1;  Work Flow Example;  Release 2;  Some things still to do.

Ad Hoc Reporting of Errors in Vicmap  Vicmap users sometimes report ‘errors’ expecting them to be fixed;  The Vicmap Custodial officers receive and assess the reports;  Forward to business custodian (e.g. Local Government);  Business custodian rectifies Vicmap within the established edit system;

NOT QUITE  Once the custodian responds it could take 20 days to 2 months to finalise in Vicmap;  The original error reporter has no idea if their ‘error’ has been fixed;  Only one ‘actor’ knows the status of a particular error report at any time.

DSE’s Corporate Spatial Data Library (CSDL) Vision  Business custodians will edit their data in (CSDL) directly;  Time from edit to availability of edit in CSDL will be less than 24 hours;  General users can lodge notifications which will be passed directly to the business custodian;  Majority of graphical edits will be made by business custodians;  Contract maintainers of Vicmap become “graphic custodians” of the CSDL data.
