    Object-oriented concepts for software development and conceptual modelling in GIS and surveying
    Hesse, Walter ; Hazelton, William ; Williamson, Ian P. ( 1993)
    Recent years have seen a growing research interest amongst Information Technology professionals for Object Oriented Programming Systems (OOPS) and Object Oriented Geographic Information Systems (OOGIS). The nature of this research for the 'classical' surveyor demands a move away from the 'comfort zone' of Surveying Techniques, Mapping and LIS/GIS into the more fundamental areas of Computing Science. This move is essential for a better understanding of the necessary data modelling and general object-oriented concepts for Information Systems in general, and LIS/GIS more specifically. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of this relatively new and specialised field for the Surveying professional interested in GIS issues.

    Appropriate cadastral systems
    Williamson, Ian P. ( 1996)
    This paper discusses the role of cadastres in developing countries, reviews why cadastral systems have become much more important in the eyes of policy makers over the last ten years, particularly in developing worlds, and finally highlights some important lessons arising from establishing cadastral systems in developing countries over the past decade.

    The role of institutional mechanisms in spatial data infrastructure development that supports decision-making
    Feeney, MEF ; Williamson, IP ; Bishop, ID (Australian Institute of Cartographers, 2002-01-01)
    Improved economic, social and environmental decision-making are principal objectives for investing in the development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) at all political and administrative levels. Indeed, Resolution 7 of the recent 5th Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) conference in Cartagena, Colombia (GSDI, 2001) argued that the purpose of the GSDI is to improve the availability, accessibility, and applicability of spatial information for decision-making. While accepting the development of institutional mechanisms to support decision-making by promoting the availability and accessibility of spatial information as part of SDI institutional frameworks, many institutional mechanisms fall short of addressing the application of spatial data to decision-making. From an institutional perspective, the motivation for SDI implementation is the impracticality of a single organisation producing and maintaining the wide variety of data and models needed to inform many decisions, resulting in a need for sharing of data and a range of analytical and display tools. This is being seen particularly in the natural resource, environment and government sectors in Australia. These sectors are utilising institutional mechanisms to support spatial decision-making processes in a number of different ways including the development of community resource centres, departmental development of decision support tools, as well as the development of atlases, spatial data directories and on-line land information services. In Australia these institutional mechanisms are playing a crucial role in providing the building blocks for the institutional framework of SDIs and address different levels of the decision-making process. This paper looks at how availability and accessibility of spatial data are being achieved by reviewing examples from each of the institutional mechanisms mentioned. The variety of decision-making levels supported by these different initiatives is reviewed in terms of decision process theory. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the approaches to developing institutional support for decision-making as part of SDI development, as well as a consideration of directions for SDI development in the future to support spatial decision-making processes.
