WHAT IS DRIVING THESE STANDARDS

• Re-use of infrastructure is a critical element
  for all governments and, in fact its critical
  element for any organisation
• Ms Ann Steward, CIO Australian Government
• "We can no longer afford a disjointed and
  proprietary approach that locks up legacy
  systems, generates excessive use of outside
  consultants, and creates long, often misguided
  project plans...
• Peter Quinn, CIO State of Massachusetts

WHAT IS DRIVING THESE STANDARDS

• The need to share and reuse data to decrease
  costs
• data acquisition, quality, maintenance and
  processing
• Provide direct, on-demand access
• reduction in time and costs
• Enhance decision-making
• diverse information, interoperability

ANZLIC

• ANZLIC's role is to facilitate easy and cost
  effective access to the wealth of spatial data
  and services provided by a wide range of
  organisations in the public and private sectors.
• ANZLIC Council comprises ten senior officials
  from Australia and New Zealand Governments and
  the governments of the States and Territories of
  Australia

STANDARDS AUSTRALIA IT004

• Establish, maintain, support and promote
  Australian New Zealand Standards relevant to
  geographic information
• Participate in the work of ISO/TC211and its
  working groups
• Ensure Australian New Zealand requirements
• These standards are used by geographical
  information systems designers, architects and
  users in developing systems and applications for
  development planning, environmental monitoring,
  location based services, mapping, logistics,
  hydrographical survey, GPS programming and
  emergency services.
