"MetaData Discovery" Editorial submitted for publication in Position Magazine (May 2007):
As we collect mountains of geospatial data from various sources such as government mapping programs, from private aerial photography and satellite acquisition programs we migrate into an era of deployment that demands efficient storage and access to these resources. A data dissemination environment that has its own peculiar issues that the GIS data production community typically have limited experience with. ....
"Google Maps and the ASDI" Editorial published in Position Magazine (Nov 2006):
There is a lot of hype about Google Maps and Google Earth these days. Some people are asking the question 'why can't our GIS implementation be this easy to use?' Some people are even suggesting that Google will leapfrog the need to establish a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) all together. ....
"CubeWerx Product Overview" Marketing paper summarizing Cubewerx SCOTS products (July 2006):
Since 1996, CubeWerx has developed and released a number of Standards-based Commercial Off The Shelf Software (SCOTS) products, based on non-proprietary specifications responding to Geospatial Information Infrastructure requirements. ....
"Cascading Web Map Servers" Whitepaper on the case for Cascading WMSes (Mar 2006):
As part of its Open Service Framework (OSF) the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) supports the concept of service chaining such that any web application can be anything from a simple web spatial viewer to a spatially enabled and complex business application. The notion of chaining web services is not new but the application within a spatial context somewhat is ....
"Spatially Enabled Business Intelligence" Whitepaper on Business Intelligence (Mar 2006):
Many organisations have amassed huge quantities of data that they need to analyse in order to help them make objective operational decisions. These huge quantities of data are augmented by the plethora of externally published data that can be fed right to the desktop via internet technology. In order to successfully synthesize these data, specialised data mining solutions and Business Intelligence (BI) applications ....
"Service Oriented Architecture" Whitepaper submitted for publication (Feb 2006):
The concept and promise of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is still only five or six years old but it will have an even bigger role in the spatial systems arena as the Web becomes even more pervasive both internally and externally for organisations. But what is SOA, ....
"Interoperability" Article edited & published in Position Magazine (Feb 2006):
The word ‘Interoperability’ conjures up different things to different people, therefore its not surprising
it has caused concern and confusion in the geospatial market place and with IT professionals. The
geospatial market is a collection of professionals, paraprofessionals and end users that have their roots
in diverse disciplines including geography, cartography, surveying, remote sensing, etc ....
"SDIs and Security" WhitePaper on Web Service security (Nov 2005):
Providing controlled and highly secure access to web deployed geospatial data has been a priority since before September 11, 2001, but even more so today. This is because geographically depicting data adds another dimension of intelligence ....
"SDIs and CubeWerx" WhitePaper on CubeWerx Products (Aug 2005):
The concept of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) have been around for quite some time now with different countries and jurisdictions approaching it from different aspects. Companies like CubeWerx have embraced these initiatives and developed products and services targeted specifically for this market segment ....
"Geospatial Portal" a Powerpoint presentation delivered at Spacial Science Conference 2005 (Sep 2005):
This is a powerpoint presentation delivered in an interoperability workshop at the Melbourne SSC2005 conference by Brad Spencer. It outlines the therory of geospatial portals and emerging portlet technologies that comply with OGC architectures.
"GML Performance Investigation by CubeWerx" OGC discussion paper (Aug 2005):
GML is an increasingly important feature-encoding format for use in interoperable GIS systems. Unfortunately, the innate text encoding that it uses is both
bulky and slow to process. To help GML realize its potential, ....
"Commercial SDI Nodes" Article published in Position Magazine (Feb 2005):
Over the past 20 years many government agencies have collected geo-spatial data to the extent that we are virtually awash with the stuff; how do these data sets find their way into the broader community? There are of course private data sets already in the market place that are used in the production of commercial products such as street directory maps, road maps, etc. ....
"Spatial Data Infrastructures and Utilities" Conference Paper Presented By Brad Spencer at GITA Conference (Aug 2004):
One operational pain issue that utilities typically experience today is the need to keep foundation or base map data layers (such as Cadastral and Topographic) integrated within their operational GIS infrastructures. Over the past 20 years or so many utilities have established data sharing processes that ....
"When is an SDI not an SDI" Article published in Position Magazine (Apr 2004):
Geo-spatial data custodians have ostensibly embraced the notion of a global Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and several are actively engaged in either building or prototyping a contributing node ....
