  1. Nationally Significant Databases and Collections Providers’ Group Emma Kelly Environmental Information Advisor Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Team

  2. Overview • Ministry for the Environment • Monitoring and Reporting Team • E-Govt • What is it? • Interoperability (e-GIF) • Officials Committee on Geospatial Information • Government Geospatial Metadata • COLABII • Review of NATSIGDC

  3. Monitoring and Reporting Team • Reporting on NZ’s environment • State of the Environment • Sustainable Development • RMA Performance • Partnerships to facilitate sharing of environmental information • Local Government and Regional Councils • CRI’s • Central Government

  4. Monitoring and Reporting Team • Protocols for monitoring • Based around environmental performance indicators • Information management, standards and compliance • Classification Systems • National monitoring and reporting frameworks for indicators, conservation and resource management

  5. Why interest in NatSigDC’s • To monitor and report nationally we need to • discover what environmental information is out there • ensure it supports management decisions we need to ask of it • form partnerships to access and use environmental information • Be confident of the quality and consistency of the environment information collected

  6. Why interest in NatSigDC’s Some of the 25 databases and collections identified as nationally significant underpin our needs as a user

  7. 2. E-Government • Adapting government to the information age and the Internet • E-Government Unit within SSC • Set up to facilitate whole-of-government programmes that develop policies, standards and operational infrastructure

  8. Key Components Mandatory • E-Govt strategy in business planning • NZGLS • E-GIF • Information Security • Authentication Discretionary • E-government portal • Web guidelines

  9. E-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) “The ability of government organisations to share information and integrate information and business processes by agreeing to use common standards” http://www.e-government.govt.nz/docs/e-gif-v-1-0/chapter2.html

  10. E-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) • Networks (TCP, IP) • File Transfer (FTP, HTTP 1.1) • Mail (SMTP) • Metadata (Discovery) (NZGLS) • Data Modelling (UML) • Database Exchange (XML 1.0) • Web Design and Maintenance (NZ Government Web Guidelines 1.0)

  11. E-GIF Compliance • All new systems developed by Central Govt. must comply • Where there is direct funding of information management and systems from Central Govt. including PGSF activities

  12. 3. OCGI • Advisory group to LINZ • Development of technical strategies, the setting of standards and work programmes to ensure nationally consistent geographical information • Key projects • Emergency Services and Government Administration (ESA) • Government geospatial metadata • COLABII

  13. ESA • Data quality improvement project for core datasets for emergency service activities • Street addresses • Road centerlines • Placenames • Currently the Cost Benefit Analysis is being worked through to improve the existing LINZ databases to the ESA standard

  14. Geospatial Metadata • Development of a geospatial metadata standard for all of government lead by LINZ • Based on Environmental Metadata Framework • Timetable for profile, guidelines and recommendations is 30 June 2003 • Currently testing profile with agencies

  15. COLABII • Co-ordinated Land and Area based Information Interoperability • NZ spatial data infrastructure • Solving the geospatial area of e-government • Development of a common frame of reference to enable the various geospatial initiatives to fit into a wider context

  16. The building blocksof the framework fit together and interact This framework covers interoperability requirementsto allow the easy sharing of geospatial information in electronic form by use of the Internet Users’ Datasets Core Datasets Private dataset Geodetic Base Property Cadastre Shared dataset Elevation/ Bathymetry Common Datasets Transport/ Addresses Standards Repository Places & Names Hydrog’phy & Coastline Metadata Repository Administ’n Areas Imagery Collated datasets Electronic Access Network Services (Internet) Standards & Good Practice Guidelines Right to Use (Intellectual Property) Institutional Arrangements Discovery Catalogue Visualisation (e.g. on-line mapping tool) Services

  17. 4. Review of NatSigDC Key Drivers (from i3 Challenge) • Improved performance of NZ businesses and creation of new industries • Sustainable management of our environmental resources • Insights and solutions to health and social issues

  18. Thoughts… • The list of 25 • Are they linked to the key drivers? • Do the criteria need to redefined? • E-Govt • It changes the way we view isolated databases and collections • Interoperability is important • This is a lot of activity and the Review cannot occur in isolation
