Spatial Infrastructures [3]

Spatial infrastructure must deliver information to decision makers in a timely and easily utilised form. The Spatial Infrastructure program offers Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to harness government information infrastructure investment, industry partner expertise and world leading research to deliver the benefits of spatial awareness. The program will

  • create the foundations for a robust spatial marketplace
  • increase access to spatial information by government, business, academia and the community
  • leverage existing spatial infrastructure investment
  • inform policy, regulation and standards development
  • develop algorithms and online services that promote industry growth
  • create dynamic and integrated information infrastructure to support collaboration and growth

The research program will support the Australia and New Zealand Spatial Marketplace, which is available in beta form for Australia  and New Zealand.

The SDI provides a basis for spatial data discovery, evaluation, and application for users and providers within all levels of government, the commercial sector, the non-profit sector, academia and the community." [SDI Cookbook]
