ItemA vision for spatially informed land administration in AustraliaWallace, J. ; Williamson, I. P. ( 2005)Research to incorporate sustainable development objectives into an information communication technology (ICT)enabled land administration system (LAS) began with the task of defining an emerging vision for spatial information. Incommon with European countries which enjoy mature LAS (Switzerland, Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany),Australian LAS could benefit from the spatial enablement of land information, following the model of the spatiallyenabled geocoded national address file (GNAF). Specific instances include opportunities for more comprehensiveinformation about restrictions over land, remodelling the Torrens system into a modern land information system, andcreating national land information systems.Transition from the existing infrastructure of LAS to the new model requires selective borrowing from experiences particularly in the European Union and USAnew models of information sharingcapacity to anticipate developments in technology in location enablement and spatial identificationbuilding on Australia's capacity to create opportunities for government and the private sector in using spatialinformation in the ICT environment.

ItemLand administration and Spatial Data InfrastructuresWilliamson, I. P. ; Grant, D. ; Rajabifard, A. ( 2005)Internationally the spatial data infrastructure (SDI) concept has focussed on national SDIs.However SDIs are increasingly focussing on large scale people relevant data (land parcelbased data or build environmental data) with the result that today it is suggested most SDIactivity worldwide is at this level. A central aspect in understanding these developments isthe evolution of mapping, and the growth of land administration systems and nationalmapping initiatives in different countries.The objective of this paper is to discuss the evolving nature of SDIs away from a simplenational concept to a complex hierarchy where large scale SDIs are the major influence. Thepaper concludes with a discussion of policy development and the impact of institutionalarrangements in managing spatial information.
