eSpatial and Geomatic Technologies Deliver Web Editing Pilot to Victoria Government, Australia
14th August 2007
New application trials increased efficiency and accuracy of mapping
data using unique web-enabled map-based application connecting data
originators with authoritative data.
Canberra, Australia - eSpatial, a global enterprise geospatial software
and technology company in partnership with Geomatic Technologies (GT), one of Australia’s
leading providers of location-based business intelligence solutions, information products and
services, today announced the deployment of an advanced web editing pilot for the
Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) in Victoria, Australia.
The TOE (Transactional Online Editing) pilot application extends an existing
application already developed by GT for DSE called ONE (Online Notification and Editing).
The applications allows 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.
The principle behind the system is very simple – 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 TOE system enhances the existing ONE online notification system by adding a
map editing component built using eSpatial’s iSMART product which allows end users to
carry out controlled edits including name changes, split areas, create address points and
move address points. Updates are carried out using a standard web browser over a secure
internet connection and all changes to the system are controlled using an internal workflow
which maintains proposed changes in parallel with agreed updates.
The resulting application is used to increase process efficiencies resulting in more
accurate spatial data. The solution is delivered on top of Oracle10g database and utilises
Oracle Workspace Manager to support the data versioning requirements.
“We are very pleased to be working with Geomatic Technologies and DSE to support
this application”, said David Miller, COO eSpatial, “This is a great example on how Web
based technologies can be used to streamline data maintenance and increase accuracy and
efficiencies.”
“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), “by trialling this map based editing system we are able
to empower the data originators to make modifications to components of the State database
that they know better than anyone – allowing us to focus on delivering an improved service to
our customers. We also hope to demonstrate that this will result in reduced resource
requirements for data originators, particularly local government”.
