Spatial information is an enabling technology/infrastructure for modern society. SI describes the location of objects in the real world and the relationships between objects.
Services and Delivery Tools Spatial Information can be a unifying medium linking solutions to location. User demand has shifted to seeking improved services and delivery tools. This will be achieved by creating an environment so that we can: Connect Locate people, places, services, businesses and points of interest systems, services, businesses, partnerships and link with other industries Deliver quality services, standards, frameworks and what users want. (VSIS 2008)
Ready and timely access to spatial information knowing where people and assets are is essential for the creation of wealth in any jurisdiction. It is a critical tool for making informed decisions on key economic, environmental and social issues.
The Significance of Data? Spatial Data is further shaped by the decision-making process to which it is subject People Access Policy Standards Spatial Data Decision Making Process Information Management / Administration underpinned by access to spatial information.
Spatial Data Infrastructure is an integrated, on-line mechanism to deliver spatial data and services and information for applications, better business and policy decision-making, and value-added commercial activities. Components-collection of people, policies, networked datasets and enabling technologies and services.
Spatial Data Infrastructures Strategic Planning & Decision Making Less detailed data Global Decisions Regional Decisions National Decisions State Decisions Local Decisions Organisational Decisions More detailed Data Global SDI Regional SDI National SDI State SDI Local SDI Organisational SDI Many groups working on same problem at different levels on the hierarchy. Success depends on intra- and inter- jurisdictional cooperation between individuals and agencies.

Implementation Drivers Increase effectiveness Better access (reduce barriers) New services Exploit data better Get data on time Avoid duplication of data Increase efficiency Avoid duplication of effort Avoid duplication of infrastructure Commodity access arrangements
Who understands place? The vast majority of users do not know they are spatially enabled! Less than 1% of people are specialists Less than 5% understand the technology Society 95% do not understand the technology DSE-SII 2006
Spatially Enabled Government and Society Location or place is used initially to organise government information, then to re-engineer government processes to deliver better policy outcomes, Spatially enabled will ensure better productivity and efficiency, Place is used in a transparent manner. SEG means far better delivery of government services and sustainability better decisions by government.

Spatially Enabled Society A Scenario for the Future The spatial enablement can reshape our lives.
Possibilities provided by Spatial Enablement Spatial enablement can contribute to dealing with the challenges we face as a society. At the same time, however, it brings its own challenges. Expanding government services consultation & participation Policy & Administration Public Safety Utilities Health Sustainability and our environmental footprint Land Administration The economics of production Consumption and choice
