Streamlining the exchange of geodetic data in Australia and New Zealand
Picco, Jemma ... [et al.]
The core function of the Australian and New Zealand Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) is to coordinate and promote the development and maintenance of key national spatial data including geodetic data. The Geodesy Technical Sub-Committee (GTSC) of ICSM implements national geodesy policies developed by ICSM by coordinating geodetic activities between governmental agencies. For ICSM, Geodesy is the business of monitoring, maintaining and enhancing the horizontal and vertical working datum and their associated elements. It enables a diverse set of data to be brought together in terms of a common geospatial reference framework. In the modern environment of digital data management, the exchange of geodetic data has become more prevalent amongst industry members whose business concerns spatial datasets and databases. The GTSC has commenced the eGeodesy project to develop a standard for the exchange of geodetic information. The main aims of the eGeodesy project are to standardise the exchange of geodetic data as well as standardise the publishing and delivery of results; standardise the recording of observations; enable the archival of observational data and results; streamline the process for generating adjustment files and interface seamlessly with vendor packages.
