Alignment Study of Spatial Data Supply Chains (Australia & New Zealand)
Currently in Australia and New Zealand, a great many organisations collect, maintain and share
spatial data, and consequently there are a multitude of SDSC initiatives being pursued at all
jurisdictional levels.
Many CRCSI participants agree that there is little to no co-ordination of these developments and very
little understanding of what components have already been built, leading to duplication of effort,
wasted investment and missed opportunities to define a world leading research agenda. To address
this issue of lack of coordination and to identify R&D and collaboration opportunities, the "Alignment
Study" project is being conducted. The project consists of three phases, as described in this
document.
This project is restricted to Phase 1, a 'quick scan' of relevant initiatives.
This study surveyed 34, almost exclusively government driven, SDSC projects in Australia and New
Zealand. The projects reviewed show a wide variety in levels of implementation and automation of the
supply chain components. Only a minority of steps in the reviewed supply chains are fully automated
and only 9 projects (semi-) automate the entire supply chain.
The survey clearly supports the project's premise that SDSCs are still in their infancy: half the
initiatives are in pre-production stages, and only 6 out of 34 admitted to having a full, long term
sustainable governance framework in place.
