Web Pilot for Victoria Government in Australia
14 August 2007, 12:33pm
August 14 (Canberra, Australia) - eSpatial, a global enterprise geospatial software and technology company in partnership with Geomatic Technologies (GT), one of Australia’s leading providers of location-based business intelligence solutions, information products and services, today announced the deployment of an advanced web editing pilot for the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) in Victoria, Australia.
The TOE (Transactional Online Editing) pilot application extends an existing application already developed by GT for DSE called ONE (Online Notification and Editing). The applications allows data originators in Victoria, such as Local Government and State Government bodies, to directly access and modify authoritative property, address and parcel information through a web-based mapping interface. The direct access to editing through stringent access and quality control procedures streamlines the data adoption process and enables data updates to be delivered in shorter timeframes to end users.
The principle behind the system is very simple – allow data originators who are responsible for key record creation throughout the State to correct or update the authoritative mapping data directly. With strict quality control processes built into the application, updates can be incorporated into the State dataset in a fraction of the time taken by current practices.
The TOE system enhances the existing ONE online notification system by adding a map editing component built using eSpatial’s iSMART product which allows end users to carry out controlled edits including name changes, split areas, create address points and move address points. Updates are carried out using a standard web browser over a secure internet connection and all changes to the system are controlled using an internal workflow which maintains proposed changes in parallel with agreed updates.
The resulting application is used to increase process efficiencies resulting in more accurate spatial data. The solution is delivered on top of Oracle10g database and utilises Oracle Workspace Manager to support the data versioning requirements.
“We are very pleased to be working with Geomatic Technologies and DSE to support this application”, said David Miller, COO eSpatial, “This is a great example on how Web based technologies can be used to streamline data maintenance and increase accuracy and efficiencies.”
“Increasing the efficiency and accuracy of our mapping data is a core requirement” said Bruce Thompson, Director, Spatial Information Infrastructure Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), “by trialling this map based editing system we are able to empower the data originators to make modifications to components of the State database that they know better than anyone – allowing us to focus on delivering an improved service to our customers. We also hope to demonstrate that this will result in reduced resource requirements for data originators, particularly local government”.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
