ItemFrom Little Things Big Things Grow: Building the SDI from Local Government UpMcDougall, K. ; Rajabifard, A. ; Williamson, I. P. ( 2002)The successful building of a multi-jurisdictional SDI has the potential to deliver significant benefits to the community, business and government through improved access to a range of relevant geospatial data. An effective National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) requires the vertical integration of spatial data at all levels of government. With local government being a custodian of a number of key SDI data sets, its role is now recognised as crucial to the development of the State and National Spatial Data Infrastructures. This paper will investigate some of the technical and institutional impediments that must be addressed within local and state jurisdictions in order to realise these benefits. An overview of the current status of local-state SDI arrangements in Australia will be presented as a basis for discussion. A framework for the further investigation and research into these issues will be outlined and some suggestions for progress put forward.

ItemChallenges and issues for SDI developmentWilliamson, Ian P. ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS ; BINNS, ANDREW ( 2006)This paper aims to introduce and discuss six challenges and issues facing the development of SDIs which will be able to meet the sustainable development objectives of society. These issues and challenges include: - SDI to facilitate spatially enabled government - Role of government, private and academic sectors - Development of SDI vision, mission and road map – where are we heading? - SDI to facilitate integration of natural and built environment datasets - SDI to support marine administration - Seamless SDI model - Capacity building Current research within the Centre for SDIs and Land Administration in the Department of Geomatics, University of Melbourne in the context of these meeting these challenges and issues is also discussed.
