Spatial data management : an essential building block for land management in Ireland
Murray, Helen
This paper outlines the issues raised and subsequent findings of a workshop which was held on the 31st October 2006 in the School of Spatial Planning at the Dublin Institute of Technology entitled Spatial Data Management an Essential Building Block for Land Management in Irelandd. This event was jointly hosted by the Society of Chartered Surveyors, Dublin Institute of Technology and EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research organisation) and sought to initiate and facilitate discussion on pertinent issues relating to spatial data management policies within the framework of an Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure. There has been anecdotal evidence of late, regarding difficulties that have arisen in the attempt to utilize and merge multi-source spatial datasets to produce useable and valuable land information products in Ireland. The importance of good quality Irish spatial environmental data was emphasised in a number of presentations and in particular their impact on future land management policies, many formulated on the strength of datasets of unknown quality.
