INTRODUCTION WHAT IS A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI)? An SDI consists of “the technologies, policies, standards, human resources, and related activities necessary to acquire, process, distribute, use, maintain and preserve spatial data” PURPOSE OF AN SDI To provide economic, social and environmental benefits by providing easier and cheaper access to geographic information KEY PROBLEM THAT AN SDI SOLVES The coordination of access to spatial data in different formats from many different agencies (potentially from commercial data suppliers) Challenges in the implementation of the Brunei Darussalam Spatial Data Infrastructure Author by Hj Mohd Jamil bin Hj Mohd Ali and David Hayward The 11th South East Asian Survey Congress (11th SEASC 2011) and the 13th International Surveyors’ Congress (13th ISC 2011) held on 22 to 24 June 2011 , Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A SUCCESSFUL SDI? • Planners • Decision Makers • Architects • Contractors • Land Valuers • Engineers • Rescuers • Others Courtesy of GeoConnections Challenges in the implementation of the Brunei Darussalam Spatial Data Infrastructure Author by Hj Mohd Jamil bin Hj Mohd Ali and David Hayward The 11th South East Asian Survey Congress (11th SEASC 2011) and the 13th International Surveyors’ Congress (13th ISC 2011) held on 22 to 24 June 2011 , Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
