Central government organisations have been creating, utilising and maintaining spatial data for many years. This has lead to data rich environments, holding a vast amount of valuable information. Recently the demands placed on spatial data such as its increased use in key decision making processes and the need for its publication to the wider public have dramatically increased. These increased demands has led to a number of issues that need to be addressed:

• Integration and consolidation of different data types into a single data source
• Enabling enterprise wide access of spatial data within the organization
• Enabling web based access to information to the public
• Ensuring data consistency, quality and accuracy
• Ensuring data is fit for purpose

In most instances the original reason the data was captured varies considerably to the use it is now put to and as a result Central Government organisations need to repurpose their data.

Solutions include:

• Oracle Spatial Services
• Data Integration
• Data Quality Assurance
• Data Hosting
• Data Simplification
• Spatial Portals
• Land Registration
