Goal of the CIS The Conservation Information System (CIS) aims to provide access to quality spatial information to inform conservation planning at the landscape scale • Conservation Information System
Needs (specifications for CIS) • Need a simple, accessible and efficient system • Moving toward landscape-scale approaches • Need to be flexible to cater for changing priorities, and to recognise the needs of different projects • Need to curate data so that it can be used in the future • Conservation Information System
Inputs • Client projects can provide spatial layers to the CIS that address their conservation priorities CIS Metadata Business Rules Metadata Business Rules • Conservation Information System
Integrated Data Product • Questions need to be asked of many layers simultaneously • Concentration of natural values of interest • Also context –tenure, NRM region, bioregion • Combine many spatial layers into a simple, integrated data product • Conservation Information System
Integrated Data Product Input spatial layer Fine-scale grid (Layers are combined in here) Coarse-scale grid framework (For efficient front-end or users without raster capability) Different levels of complexity and access • Conservation Information System
Layers currently in the CIS • Conservation Information System
