Mercury PS 5 min. Soapbox presentation to the Australian Collaborative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRC-SI) Annual Conference.
Arguing that SDI 1.0 (Yet Another Portal) is dying and SDI 2.0 presents the future of Research.
6. SOME BUZZWORDS
Web 2.0 / Social Media
Crowd Sourcing – Volunteered Geo-
Information (VGI)
User Generated Content
Augmented Reality
Geotagging
And many more…
7. The “[...] usage of geographical techniques
and tools used for personal and
community activities or for utilization by a
non-expert group of users”

11. KEY DIFFERENCES
Users are Producers
and there are plenty of them!
Decentralisation of “Authority”
E.g. Open Streetmap, Wikipedia
Quality is in the eye of the beholder
The Internet is the Marketplace
Fast, Cheap, Demand driven!
14. CHALLENGES
Ignore at our peril
Where does this leave government?
Next big things
The long-tail model of Spatial Data Collection
From YAPs to ‘fine-grained‘APIs for mash-up purposes
R&D: Validation & Filtering
R&D: What Licencing and Business models work?
15. SUMMARY
SDI as we know it? “so last century!”
SDI 2.0
Driven by Web 2.0 and Neogeography
No more distinction between users and producers
Harnessing the long tail
Dramatically shifting role for government
Ignore at our peril!
16. MERCURY PROJECT SOLUTIONS
EXCELLENCE IN PROGRAM DELIVERY

Editor's Notes
Top DownFocus on Fundamental Data, Governance, Licencing, MetadataYAPs
20+ years of talk and research. What do we have to show for it?SDI in Australia still not recognised as ‘fundamental infrastructure’
Tool-centric user centric
Let’s look at some REAL WORLD examplesOpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world’s streetsFasterBetter?More responsive (e.g. PSMA road/Address data: 6 month update cycle)providing a free, open digital map of the planet as a patchwork of contributions by individual volunteers – Volunteered Geographic InformationThe maps are created using data from portable GPS devices and other free sources. Users can also create new routes or update existing ones using the given editing tools.
