    Spatially enabling governments through SDI implementation
    Masser, I ; Rajabifard, A ; Williamson, I (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2008)
    Spatially enabled government requires the development of effective SDIs that will support the vast majority of society, who are not spatially aware, in a transparent manner. This paper addresses three strategic challenges arising out of the need of creating this new environment. The first of these is the challenge for more inclusive models of governance given that SDI formulation and implementation involve a very large number of stakeholders from all levels of government as well as the private sector and academia. The second concerns the promotion of data sharing between different kinds of organisation. In some cases this may require new forms of organisation to carry out these tasks. The third challenge relates to the establishment of enabling platforms to facilitate access to spatial data and the delivery of data related services.

    Understanding land administration systems [1]
    Williamson, Ian Philip ; ENEMARK, STIG ; WALLACE, JUDE ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS (Centre of Geo-Information Technologies, 2008)
    This paper introduces basic land administration theory and highlights four key concepts that are fundamental to understanding modern land administration systems - firstly the land management paradigm and its influence on the land administration framework, secondly the role that the cadastre plays in contributing to sustainable development, thirdly the changing nature of ownership and the role of land markets, and lastly a land management vision that promotes land administration in support of sustainable development and spatial enablement of society. We present here the first part of the paper. The second part that focuses on the changing role of ownership and the role of land markets, and a land management vision will be published in November issue of Coordinates.
