Earlier this year the US Department of Labour identified geotechnology as one
of the three most important and emerging fields, along with
nanotechnology and biotechnology.
background
• Spatial information should be a fundamental tool for Government and business
– But isn’t
• Why not?– Difficult to obtain: poor access and distribution– Difficult to understand and apply: knowledge/expertise– Expensive to process and apply: hardware, software, specialist staff
background
Mapping/Design/GIS• Less than 1% of Staff• Create and maintain data• Desktop application• High level of training
Analysts• Less than 5% of Staff• Make business decisions• Desktop application• Application level training
Non-technical users• Typically 95% of Staff• Need access to data• Web/mobile application• MS Office/Browser
Victorian spatial smart tag (VSST) addresses these issues
• Improved access and distribution– Direct delivery to the desktop from a web service
• Basic, but effective functionality– Easy to understand and apply
• Leverage existing infrastructure– Standard, existing hardware and software, users in a familiar software
environment
the original VSST concept
• Microsoft Smart Tag recogniser
• Smart tag function recognises address ‘patterns’
• provides a “tag” menu with related options
the VSST concept as developed
• Existing objective, benefits retained– Improved access, improved ease of use, leverage existing infrastructure– Two additional potential benefit areas identified
• Automated population and processing of government transactions (applications forms, …)
– More accurate, more efficient, less manual intervention
• Aggregated information available for strategic planning and service delivery
– Potentially, a complete, accurate, reliable and current view of government service delivery
VSST components
• Client Application/User interface– Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access or Outlook) Web Form or any
product that can interface with a web service
• Web Service and Function Datastore – Browser access to spatial information and administration
• Spatial Information Datastore– The spatial information servicing user requirements
• Audit and Aggregated use Datastore– information generated by use of the system, then available for
analysis and modelling
demonstration forms
key functions and data
• Address verification– Property address from Vicmap Property
– Postal address from Salmat AMAS postal engine
• Get Information– Collector Districts/ASGC, postcode, LGA, departmental region or
boundary, electorates, zones, … , any spatial overlay
• Get Image– Aerial photography, satellite imagery, property boundaries, contour
lines, Melway and Vicroads Country Roads Directory
VSST testing partner case studies
• DOI– Administration, desktop rollout, Government hosting costs
• Vicroads– Change of address for vehicle licensing and registration
– Section 32 Form
• DSE– Section 54 - Neighbourhood Report for planning applications
• Victoria Police– Basic emulation of Police incident report
VSST benefits
• Simple productivity gains– Maps, images and spatial information available to all
• Process and transaction gains– Forms, processes completed more accurately, quickly,
effectively, access to single authoritative sources
• Strategic planning and service delivery– Rich information source for performance monitoring,
modelling and analysis, and strategic planning
• Savings– Avoidance of GIS capital and recurrent costs

Fit with Government Policy and Strategy
• Victorian Spatial Information Strategy– Custodianship, single authoritative sources, whole-of-
Victorian-Government approach
• ICT Infrastructure Strategy
– Geospatial data management one of fourteen opportunities for whole-of-Victorian-Government approach
• Government– Putting people at the Centre, GVT 2
– Government innovation working for Victorians
• Privacy Commissioner engaged and supportive
Implementation opportunities
• Simple productivity gains– WoVG roll-out of recogniser to desktops, administration roles
established within departments
• Process and transaction productivity gains– Development of Word documents, web forms, XML ‘call-outs’
from existing applications for specific transactions and processes
• Strategic planning and service delivery gains– Leverage VSST audit log content for service delivery
modelling and analysis, support for strategic planning
implementation considerations
• Extension to mobile devices– Smartphones, PDAs, CDMA equipped notebooks etc all able to
access VSST, subject to business approval
• National implementation– Strong interest at Commonwealth level, and in other jurisdictions
– Victoria can take a national leadership role, supported by ABS
• Partnering– The value of the private/public partnership approach taken for
VSST should be recognised, and promoted
implementation considerations
• Hosting arrangements– Hosting options within Government and from an external
provider have been developed for comparison purposes
• W-o-V-G licensing for spatial information– Most Vicmap spatial information at least partly licensed,
some top-up required
– Licensing of other content (aerial photography) may be W-o-V-G, or by individual agencies as required
