Something which our New Zealand subscribers may wish to pursue:<br>
<br>
Statistics New Zealand has just put out a RFP for "<span
id="TenderDetail_lbTitleRO" style="width:90%;">SP3-A83 Geospatial
Infrastructure Project" which specifies ESRI, but doesn't specify
OGC standards.<br>
<br>
I suspect this conflicts with New Zealand's SDI strategy?<br>

<br>
<span id="TenderDetail_lbDescriptionRead" style="width:99%;">The
vision of the Geospatial Infrastructure project is that
“Statistics New Zealand becomes spatially enabled”. This project
will develop the core geographic infrastructure required to
achieve spatial enablement – an address point-based geographic
frame using geospatial technology.<br>
This project is the legacy mitigation solution to replace the
current text-based ‘Geoframe’ and the plethora of standalone
systems and manual processes currently in use by Statistics New
Zealand.<br>
<br>
A ‘Geospatial Management System’ (GMS) will be developed in a
Geographic Information System using ESRI ArcGIS. The management
and maintenance of Statistics New Zealand’s core geographic
infrastructure, including addresses, meshblocks (Statistics NZ’s
building block geography) and derived geographies, will be
centralised within a spatial environment. <br>
<br>
The consultant/s will be responsible for:<br>
1. assisting Statistics NZ with the implementation and
configuration of geospatial software and data<br>
2. assisting Statistics NZ with configuring business and software
rules<br>
3. providing support documentation for all implementation and
configuration activities, and <br>
4. up-skilling Statistics New Zealand staff on the above services.<br>
