Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Spatial information is an enabling technology/infrastructure for modern society. SI describes the location of objects in the real world and the relationships between objects.

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Services and Delivery Tools Spatial Information can be a unifying medium – linking solutions to location. User demand has shift ed to seeking improved services and delivery tools. This will be achieved by creating an environment so that we can: DeliverDeliver people, places, services, businesses and points of interest systems, services, businesses, partnerships and link with other industries quality services, standards, frameworks and what users want. ConnectConnect LocateLocate

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Ready and timely access to spatial information – knowing where people and assets are – is essential for the creation of wealth in any jurisdiction. It is a critical tool for making informed decisions on key economic, environmental and social issues.

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Spatial Data is further shaped by the decision-making process to which it is subject SpatialData People Information AccessPolicyStandards Decision Making Process Management / Administration underpinned by access to spatial information. The Significance of Data? (Adopted from Feeney 2003)

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Immature institutional arrangements Immature user/provider relationships Poor knowledge of data availability Difficulties in assessing data quality Inconsistent policies on data access and use Lack of best practice in the use of technologies So Why the Problem?

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Less than 5% understand the technology 95% do not understand the technology Who understands place? Less than 1% of people are specialists The vast majority of users do not know they are “spatially enabled” – and don’t care! Society DSE-SII 2006

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics Spatial Data Infrastructure sharing SDI is all about facilitation and coordination of the exchange and sharing of spatial data, services and related resources; enable SDIs constitute a set of relationships and partnerships that enable data sharing, update and integration (start where you are ready to start). Components-collection of people, policies, networked datasets and enabling technologies and services.

Centre for SDIs and Land Administration Department of Geomatics What is Spatially Enabled Government- SEG? Location or place is used –initially to organise government information, –then to re-engineer government processes to deliver better policy outcomes, –Spatially enabled will ensure better productivity and efficiency, Place is used in a transparent manner. SEG means far better delivery of government services and sustainability better decisions by government.
