SDI & Geospatial Community<br />
“<strong>Spatial</strong>ly Enabling The Society”<br />
Geospatial Community:<br />
Professionals<br />
• to handle 4 subsystems<br />
SDI Authority<br />
• Access; Policy; Standard<br />
• e.g. MaCGDI (<strong>Malaysia</strong>)<br />
<strong>Data</strong> Providers<br />
• government & private agencies<br />
End Users<br />
• town planners; engineers<br />
• researchers<br />
• general public<br />
<strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Data</strong> Infrastructure (SDI)<br />
belongs to Geospatial Community<br />
Geospatial Community needs to be:<br />
• given awareness<br />
• educated<br />
• trained
<strong>Malaysia</strong>n SDI<br />
MyGDI<br />
• To promote use, sharing, exchange &<br />
distribution of geospatial data<br />
− access to national geospatial data<br />
− towards a balanced development:<br />
economic, social & environmental<br />
• Outreach programs to educate stakeholders<br />
− Collaboration with universities<br />

Professional Training:<br />
<br />
<br />
Started in 1992: to create GIS awareness especially to<br />
government agencies<br />
Focus:<br />
• <strong>Data</strong>base Development – to enrich digital data<br />
• To support <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Data</strong> Infrastructure (SDI) initiatives<br />
Actively conducted beginning 1999<br />
<br />
• More GIS-educated staff<br />
• Co-organized with <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Centre for Geospatial <strong>Data</strong><br />
Infrastructure (MaCGDI)<br />
• For land-related agencies and local authorities<br />
Recent Years<br />
• For MaCGDI staff: GIS; Remote Sensing; GPS<br />
• Other agencies: Dept of Statistics; Electoral Commission;<br />
Forestry Dept; <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Oil Palm Board; State Water Boards;<br />

Consultancy:<br />
<br />
Aim<br />
• To provide an opportunity to academic staff practising<br />
their professional expertise<br />
• To enhance teaching<br />
- Project Management course<br />
- SDI – related courses<br />
- Professional training – issues related to GIS<br />
implementation (technical & organizational)<br />
• To exploit more research ideas<br />
<br />
<br />
Incentive<br />
• staff involvement contributes to promotion<br />
University’s Consultancy Support Unit<br />
• Bureau of Innovation & Consultancy
Summary<br />
<strong>UTM</strong>’s undergraduate program designed to fit<br />
SDI needs as much as possible<br />
• Classroom lecture supported by training camps<br />
& site visits<br />
• <strong>Global</strong> Outreach Programs expose students to<br />
other countries’ SDI implementation<br />
• Exposure to real implementation<br />
− NGDC<br />
− Feature Coding<br />
− Geocoding<br />
There is a very significant need in government<br />
agencies<br />
• Current works rely on ad-hoc assignment to<br />
existing staff<br />
• Graduates are there but posts are not (yet) in<br />
place<br />
• Well-trained graduates should execute SDI<br />
programs better<br />
• On-job training as a short term measure<br />
Very important to balance between knowledge<br />
& skill – GI Science vs GI Technology
