Victoria Government Australia launches first phase of Notification and
Editing Service (NES) developed by Geomatic Technologies
incorporating eSpatial and 1Spatial technologies
26th August 2008
GITA Conference, Sydney, Australia - eSpatial, a global enterprise
geospatial software and technology company and 1Spatial, a leading provider of spatial data
quality software and solutions today announce that through their mutual Australian Partner,
Geomatic Technologies (GT), the first phase of a new web based distributed data
maintenance service has been deployed for Victoria, Australia through the Department of
Sustainability and Environment (DSE).
GT, one of Australia’s leading providers of location-based business intelligence
solutions, information products and services, developed the Notification and Editing System
(NES) which provides a web based distributed data maintenance application, using eSpatial’s
latest iSMART pure web editing technology, integrated with 1Spatial’s Radius Studio
technology for processing, analysis and compliance. The new application increases efficiency
and accuracy of mapping data using pure web-enabled map-based systems connecting data
originators with authoritative data.
The NES deployment follows a successful pilot system delivered by GT and
incorporating eSpatial’s iSMART web editing technology. The pilot was successfully used
over a four-month period by selected DSE customers during 2007. The NES system brings
this technology into full production across the State of Victoria and now also incorporates data
quality conformance checking, developed using 1Spatial’s Radius Studio product.
The principle behind the system is very simple – to allow data originators who are
responsible for key record creation throughout the State to correct or update the authoritative
mapping data directly. With strict quality control processes built into the application, updates
can be incorporated into the State dataset in a fraction of the time taken by current practices.
The applications allow data originators in Victoria, such as Local Government and
State Government bodies, to directly access and modify authoritative property, address and
parcel information through a web-based mapping interface. The direct access to editing
through stringent access and quality control procedures streamlines the data adoption
process and enables data updates to be delivered in shorter timeframes to end users
Using the combined technologies NES users are provided with an easy to use and
controlled environment to directly edit their data, from any web browser using eSpatial’s
iSMART, without the need for other GIS tools and to ensure data quality against defined
business rules using Radius Studio.
“We are extremely pleased to see NES go live following on from earlier work with GT
and to see the incorporation of the 1Spatial technology as well”, said Philip O’Doherty, CEO
eSpatial, “This is a great example of how Web based technologies can be used to streamline
data maintenance and increase accuracy and efficiencies.”
Duncan Guthrie, Managing Director of 1Spatial Ltd said ”The NES is a perfect
example of a complex geospatial data supply chain being simplified. The results are higher
quality data being delivered in a more timely fashion, ultimately resulting in efficiency gains for
all parties involved.”
“Increasing the efficiency and accuracy of our mapping data is a core requirement”
said Bruce Thompson, Director, Spatial Information Infrastructure Department of
Sustainability and Environment (DSE), “NES delivers us a map based editing system allowing
us to empower data originators to make modifications to components of the State database
that they know better than anyone – freeing us to focus on delivering an improved service to
our customers. This will result in reduced resource requirements for data originators,
particularly local government”.
