DCDB National Workshop New Zealand Andrew Clouston

Introduction Where were we? - a little bit of our history Where are we now? - a summary of our current state Are we there yet? - self analysis Where to now? - what we’re doing now, and in the short term

Cadastral Record Sheets and Indexes Where were we? 1879 Department of Lands and Survey 1987 Department of Survey and Land Information Department of Conservation Landcorp Department of Lands SDI DCDB X SDI Digitised

Cadastral Record Sheets and Indexes Where were we? 1879 Department of Lands and Survey Land Information New Zealand Department of Survey and Land Information X DCDB SDI cadastral Record Sheets CRS – “Landonline Lands and deeds Titles System Titles Digitised

Where were we? Land Information New Zealand Department of Survey and Land Information DCDB CRS – “Landonline Titles BDE - Cost of dissemination now $54 BDE - Cost recovery was +$100, One size fits all, txt format - Multiple formats Bulk Data (BDE)

So where are we now? Protects and manages data Assists in providing certainty of property rights Landonline Maintained and enhanced systems and processes

So where are we now? Is the Cadastre !!! (except some historical records) SurveyorsConveyencers LINZ Staff Territorial Authorities Landonline

So where are we now? Saves having to recapture data for mapping or display purposes Always reflects the latest informaton Linked to title information Facilitates quality assurance, searching etc Landonline

Well are we there yet? Fulfills the regulatory requirements Provides significant efficiencies Enables the provision of Cadastral data to 3 rd parties (via a Bulk data extract) Landonline Sort of!

Well are we there yet? Due to: –The success of Landonline –The low data costs –The number of indirect users –Increased spatial awareness –A desire for different formats, structures and delivery methods –The historical nature of the data –A general requirement for higher standards Identified increased demand and pressure

Where to now? LINZ undertook a customer survey

Where to now? Geospatial strategy Principles - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected

Where to now? - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected Fundamental to Landonline design Geospatial strategy Principle:

Where to now? - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected We’ve surveyed our users Looking at new delivery mechanisms – an SDI? Do we need a public search function? Full Data set is complex – what to do? Improve documentation? Add Metadata? Geospatial strategy Principle:

Where to now? - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected Survey / Title linking project (2yrs) Spatial data Accuracy (2yrs) Data Improvement Strategy Improve Documentation? Existing BDE format not easy to use Geospatial strategy Principle:

Where to now? - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected Licence agreements to protect sensitive data Creative Commons agreement for Non Sensitive data? (eg parcels) SDI in the future? Provide GIS formats? Cost of data is negligible in current format Geospatial strategy Principle:

Where to now? - Collected once - Discovery and access is easy - Easy to understand, integrate, interpret and use - Available, and not unduly restricted - Appropriately preserved and protected Only Authenticated users on Landonline High security and change control Disaster recovery Core Paper Records (Public Archive) Project Geospatial strategy Principle:

Summary Where were we? - The same place as everyone else Where are we now? - Well placed for the future Are we there yet? - Almost, but the goal posts keep moving Where to now? - Continue to fulfill core business - Improved data - Improved data access - Increased inter-relationships with others
