    Future directions for Spatial Information Management in Australia-a land administration perspective
    Williamson, I. P. ( 1999)
    Future directions for spatial information management in Australia, from a land administrationperspective, are discussed. Sustainable development, micro-economic reform, globalisation andtechnology are highlighted as the drivers for change. The changing spatial information environment withemphasis on land administration and cadastral issues is examined by drawing on research beingundertaken at the University of Melbourne. Issues concerned with future land administrationinfrastructures such as the changing humankind to land relationship, cadastral reform and native title arehighlighted. Specific cadastral and land administration issues and technologies which impact on spatialinformation strategies are reviewed, including understanding the business-infrastructure relationship inspatial information management, modelling the maintenance of cadastral systems, the changing nature ofspatial data infrastructures, the spatial hierarchy problem, the importance of developing partnerships andthe impact of communications and WWW technologies. The paper concludes by emphasising that anygovernment spatial information strategy is intimately linked to land administration and is influenced byglobal drivers such as sustainable development, micro-economic reform and globalisation, as well astechnology. Understanding the inter-dependence between these global drivers is a key to successfulspatial information management strategies.

    Land administration, spatial systems and citiesan Australian perspective
    Williamson, I. P. ( 1999)
    The paper argues that any spatial information strategy for urban, local government orcity jurisdiction is intimately linked to and influenced by the state or national landadministration and cadastral systems where it is located. It is these state or nationalsystems which usually provide the spatial infrastructure for urban information systems.Therefore to understand current trends in urban information systems, changes and trendsin state and national land administration systems must also be understood. The paperaddresses this topic by exploring the changing humankind-land relationship and theglobal drivers of sustainable development, micro-economic reform, globalisation andtechnology, with emphasis on Australian state spatial information systems. It draws onresearch being undertaken at the University of Melbourne to highlight some of thetrends and issues

    Cadastral Systems on the World Wide Web:A Multi-Purpose Vision
    Majid, S. I. A. ; Williamson, I. P. ( 1999)
    The World Wide Web (WWW) is now a reliable and efficient source of informationworldwide. With this in mind, traditional cadastral systems are looking to the WWW as atool that will better serve the users of land information. As such, this paper will outline thedevelopments of modern cadastral systems and in particular, online cadastral systems andthe increasing use of the WWW for access.The paper will then demonstrate how a modern cadastral system can benefit by beingonline on the WWW. It will also review Australian and international developments onbringing cadastral systems online and assisting in managing complex land tenure systems.The paper will discuss the realisation of a Multi-Purpose Cadastre concept through the useof the WWW, distributed databases and Map Servers. Resulting issues such as data, spatialprocessing, data delivery and client will be addressed.
