Exploiting the UNSDI Spatial Identifier Reference Framework (SIRF) in Australia:Innovations and Policy Implications
Canberra, 20 - 22 November 2012

Overview
• Why? – project drivers• What? – the solution • Where? – Indonesia and Australia • How? – Innovations • Where next? - Policy implications

The problem • Large scale complex interwoven challenges • ‘Big data’ - the information tsunami • ‘Glocalisation’ • Rapid Information integration • Highly spatially & temporally variable phenomena
Over the nextdecade, the numberof "files,“ or containers for Information will grow by (source: EMC)

Foundation spatial data themes
Spatial Identifiers – an index for SDI
• Addressing • Administrative Boundaries• Positioning• Place Names• Land parcel & Property• Imagery• Transport• Water• Elevation and Depth• Land cover
SPATIAL IDENTIFIER SETS Post codes, locality namesAdmin area codes/namesTrig points GazetteerPlots and ParcelsImage tile indexRoads and BridgesAHGF (Geofabric) features

• Overlap and duplication• Heterogeneity – everyone does them differently • Fragile, unreliable• Limited access mechanisms• Used out of context
• Disconnected from underlying geospatial data • Limited metadata provenance/authority
Spatial identifiers
10 | UNSDI Spatial Identifier Reference Framework | Paul Box
• Infrastructure to register, link, and deliver spatial identifiers
UNSDI Gazetteer for Social Protection in Indonesia
In Indonesia • Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG)• Ina SDI - ESRI geoportal
• Harvesting• Publishing into InaSDI portal
• OpenStreetMap
In Australia• OSP, GA, CGNA, ANDS • MyMaps Australia Gazetteer
Globally• UNSDI• UNGEGN
Where are we SIRFing?

Innovation – the right information….
•Common reference – unambiguously reference a place using URI• Granularity - moving from dataset to feature level
– Better discover, explore, understand then download/use the bits you need

Innovation – delivered in the right way
• Linked data • ‘spatial bookmarks’ for the web • Interwoven feature level metadata with data - authority, licence,
• The role of spatial identifiers to link information• SI as index to underlying data in SDI • Linking multiple representations of the same real world feature • Linking information to locations across systems
16 | UNSDI Spatial Identifier Reference Framework | Paul Box
Innovation – handling the social dimension
• Linking - not choosing a winner• Registering and cross walking
• Evolution not revolution• Providers – no need to change underlying business process/systems • Users – continue to use preferred SI sets• Convergence
• Building a social network graph of information resources • FOAF graph of info resources and their usage
• The power of the crowd
17 | UNSDI Spatial Identifier Reference Framework | Paul Box
Key enablers – Openness
• Open data• ‘freemium’ for spatial identifiers PLUS • Links to underlying data • With various price & licence models
• Open standards• Open source software
• Open Government Indonesia• Innovating• Working with the crowd• A legislative framework
18 | UNSDI Spatial Identifier Reference Framework | Paul Box
Implications for spatial policy and practice• Openness • Governance – to steer or row
• Policy (legal?) framework • Community behaviour – tin hugging, information modelling & design for
reuse • Formal and informal (VGI data sources)• Linked data - Spatial feature identifier governance
• Information custodianship and access• From supply to demand driven information • Stability and predictability - improved change management
• Engaging with the broader community• Identity not geometry
