    Land administration and spatial data infrastructures: trends and developments
    Williamson, I. P. ; Feeney, M-E. ( 2001)
    Historically, the strength of a land surveyor lies in the ability to use and understand bothmeasurement science and land management, and to apply these skills in a wide range ofland related activities ranging from land development to environmental management. Inresponse to the theme of this conference "2001 - A Spatial Odyssey" it is appropriate toconsider how these skills have evolved and are evolving within the broad surveyingdiscipline.It is proposed that a major dimension of the measurement science skill is reflected in thegrowing importance of spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and the land related skills arereflected in the re-discovery that the role of land administration plays in serving economic,environmental and social priorities in society. While SDI play a much broader role thansupporting land administration, land administration could be considered a key driver in SDIevolution.The objective of this paper is to identify SDI and land administration trends anddevelopments by drawing on the research of past and current projects undertaken byresearchers in the Centre for SDI and Land Administration at The University of Melbourne.The paper identifies some new research areas being planned by the Centre.

    Historically, the strength of a land surveyor lies in the ability to use and understand bothmeasurement science and land management, and to apply these skills in a wide range of landrelated activities ranging from sustainable development to environmental management. Inresponse to the theme of this conference which focuses on the role of Geomatics in GlobalSustainable Development it is appropriate to consider how these skills have evolved and areevolving within the broad surveying discipline.It is proposed that a major dimension of the measurement science skill is reflected in the growingimportance of spatial data infrastructures (SDI) and the land related skills are reflected in the rediscoverythat the role of land administration plays in serving economic, environmental andsocial priorities in society. While SDI play a much broader role than supporting landadministration, land administration could be considered a key driver in SDI evolution.The objective of this paper is to identify SDI and land administration trends and developmentsby drawing on the research of past, current and future projects undertaken by researchers in theCentre for SDI and Land Administration at The University of Melbourne.
