11 A Multi-Org. Challenge

12 One-Land: Objective To effectively integrate land data from public sector agencies: l enabling integrated planning and monitoring for sustainable decision making, and l saving costs & reducing risks by sharing data & its collection & storage.

13 One-Land: Vision Sound, sustainable decisions about our One-Land, in all parts of government and the community: l from an holistic understanding of links and sustainability l from robust analysis & a clear picture of facts about land l using data pooled from many sources, esp. local & central government l enabled by the responsive, reliable, timely, and open sharing of land data

14 One-Land: Guiding Principles 1. For the sustainable good of all New Zealand communities, 2. Easy to join and open to all 3. Federated with min. core, - no critical element => robustness 4. Communities of Interest, with feedback for disparities & needs 5. Competition, innovation & commerce, - rules for “open” results 6. Ongoing collaboration on funding, develop. & maintenance 7. Governance by consensus (NZGO included) 8. Data suppliers responsive to user needs, 9. Not coercive, visible compliance to standards 10. Pragmatism rules
