Vision
the Spatial Marketplace will be a simple and useable
one-stop-shop for finding spatial data, accessing
spatial analysis tools and sharing spatial resources.
�complete publishing, discovery, access, distribution and
interoperability services for all spatial information
resources in Australia and New Zealand

Current state
�Agreed that there is a difference between
a SDI and the Spatial Marketplace
�Can be created by adapting existing
infrastructure, but …
�It is an evolving and maturing concept
requiring further research and innovation
Recommendations
�Leverage existing infrastructures – adopt, adapt,
invent
�Focus on standards
�Research industry standard search architectures
�Garner support from the private sector
�Make the most of lessons learned
�Maintain the vision
�Openly share the demonstrator IP and code
Recommendation 1.1
� The current Australian Spatial Data Directory (ASDD) Project being
undertaken by the Office of Spatial Policy (OSP) and Geoscience
Australia (GA) seek to leverage the opportunities for research and
collaboration with the research community, including CSIRO, NCRIS,
and CRC-SI to test and develop, a robust national search and
discovery capability with a focus on moving to a semantic web
environment in the future.
� Where possible CRC-SI leverage the research ontologies /vocabularies
/semantics / and linked data of those entities and other jurisdictions
that have already made significant progress in this area; and
� Consult with OSP, GA and CSIRO to understand the SIS Stack (SISS)
architecture and potential national capabilities.
Recommendation 1.2
�To increase existing levels of interoperability across the
system of systems ANZLIC leverage both completed and
current work on standardised reference architectures,
middleware and crosswalks, including:
�CRC-SI Project 3.06 Alignment Study of Spatial Data Supply
Chains; and
�existing SDIs including, but not limited to, ASDD, AuScope, SISS,
National Environmental Information Infrastructure (NEII), LINZ
Data Service, SLIP Future, AURIN and PSMA systems.
Recommendation 2.1
�ANZLIC, via TC-211 Working Group and
ANZ OGC Forum, tap into the existing
standards work in the ISO, OGC and
INSPIRE (and the Canadian equivalent)
organisations.
Recommendation 2.2
�CRC-SI use its relationship with OGC to
input and leverage the work of the OGC
Phase 9 (OWS-9).
Recommendation 2.3
�ANZLIC Secretariat engage with the Open
Technology Foundation and similar
organisations to explore opportunities to
work through standards issues and
compliance of existing infrastructures.
Recommendation 2.4
�As part of the development of the NFSDF ANZLIC
to provide oversight to the development of a
standards based spatial information architecture,
in consultation with the jurisdictions, to facilitate
search/discovery/access via the web for existing
infrastructure. This effort will draw upon the
current effort in developing a reference spatial
architecture in OSP, Landgate, the NZ Geospatial
Office, CSIRO and BOM.
Recommendation 2.5
�Seek commitment from ANZLIC members
to implement the agreed standard
architecture to ensure interoperability and
maximise the search, discovery, and access
opportunities from a national perspective.
Recommendation 3.1
�The CRC-SI undertake research, and use
the OGC Phase 9 (OWS-9) Testbed, to
further develop web-based services,
specifically search and discovery as
outlined in the current Program 3 Strategy
including WFS, WPS etc.
Recommendation 3.2
�The Defence Science and Technology
Organisation (DSTO) be consulted with a
view to linking the Defence Geospatial
Domain to the future infrastructure.
Recommendations 4.1 & 4.2
�CRC-SI use industry partners to assist in
the research into semantic web search
capabilities.
�Industry partners to leverage the research
and resulting capabilities and where
possible commercialise them to assist in
the realisation of a distributed online
marketplace.
Recommendation 5.1
�The lessons learned and knowledge generated
from the ANZSM project be utilised by ANZLIC
and other stakeholders to help inform
discussions on the development of policies and
architectures for spatial information.
Recommendation 6.1
�ANZLIC retain the Spatial Marketplace vision for
the longer term, but will refocus its efforts from
the single portal approach to a distributed online
market. The market can then be underpinned by
the next generation spatial infrastructure and will
become accessible through a range of devices
and channels, including social media.
Recommendation 6.2
�ANZLIC review the ANZSM Principles document
and use it to inform decisions that support
emerging models, technologies and marketplaces
that align with the overall vision.
Recommendations 7.1 & 7.2
�The CRC-SI be given ownership of the
spatial marketplace demonstrator to
extract value from work completed, and to
enable further research and development.
�Ownership of the domains
www.spatialmarketplace.net.au and
www.spatialmarketplace.co.nz to remain
with ANZLIC.
Recommendations 7.3 & 7.4
�The working ANZSM Demonstrator, as
developed up to Friday 9 November 2012,
be formally retired by PSMA Australia.
�The ANZSM Demonstrator code be made
available under creative commons
licensing and made freely available for all
who wish to use it.
Recommendation 7.5
�The Intellectual Property arising from the
ANZSM Demonstrator project be made
freely available.
What next
�ANZLIC to focus on maintaining the vision, developing
foundation data and policies, and standards coordination
across the jurisdictions
�CRCSI to focus on researching the tricky issues –
discoverability, usability, accessibility, data federation
�SIBA to encourage all members to leverage what has
been achieved and what will come to innovate and
compete
And finally …
�Thank you to the Steering Committee and
Technical Reference Group members
�Thank you to all workshop participants
and those who have provided input along
the way
