Spatial Data Infrastructures

• 4 Components
• Data
• Technology
• Operational
• Business
• US Federal Geographic Data Committee 1997-
  www.fgdc.gov

4
Framework Data

• There are 7 common geographic data themes
• Geodetic control
• Elevation
• Transportation
• Hydrography
• Administrative units
• Cadastral information
• Orthoimagery

5
Technical Context

• Facilitates peoples ability to contribute and
  use data
• Spatial Data model
• Resolution (scale)
• Consistency across space (HI)
• Consistency among themes (VI)
• Feature identifiers
• Coordinate reference systems
• Temporal management
• Metadata

6
Operational Context

• Focus on Accessibility and Ease of use
• Support for transactional updates
• Access to current ( past) framework data by
  information networks digital media
• Access via a national clearinghouse
• Available coverage (local / state / national)
• Integration via multi-contributors (HVI)
• Locational diversity (central - distributed)

7
Business Context

• Minimise Business Barriers
• Data pricing
• Access
• non-proprietary formats
• non-exclusive arrangements
• limited restrictions on use
• timely, equitable supply
• Information about Data limitations
• Format
• Standards
• Data certification

The Land Victoria Point and Click Vision
By the year 2002, customers will be able to point
to a piece of land on an electronic map, and have
all the information relevant to that piece of
land at their fingertips.
11
Common Questions asked about Land Information

• Where is it?
• What are its boundaries?
• Who owns it?
• What is it worth?
• What can I do with it?

• Operate more efficiently
• Plan more effectively

12
Geospatial Information is the Key
It is estimated that approximately 330M of value
could come from a coordinated statewide
improvement in the affordability, accessibility
and integration of geospatial (or land-related)
information.
Land Victoria is generating this value through
the development of a common geospatial
information infrastructure for Victoria.
13
Key Land Victoria Strategies ...to contribute to
the growth of the Victorian land information
industry
1. Build a common geospatial infrastructure 2.
Remove barriers 3. Establish a competitive land
information market 4. Raise awareness
14
Land Victorias role should be defined by value
and by the ability of the market to deliver
LEAD Take a leadership role, creating markets,
develop and provide services, outsource
FACILITATE Leverage government position to help
bring buyers and sellers together
NEGOTIATE Negotiate shift of functions to
the private sector
DO Continue to provide specific services
but improve standards

Land Channel is the information resource from
all government departments with responsibilities
and functions involving land.
34

36
Stage 1 contains information on topics as diverse
as

• Buying, selling and renting property
• Farming
• Zoning and planning controls
• Recreational land use
• Mining and fossicking
• Heritage listings
• Land for wildlife
• Local government certification

37
Stage 2 includes
