Data quality information has been recognised as essential in assessing the fitness for use of any spatial dataset, and fundamental to enabling efficient and effective data integration through spatial data infrastructure (SDI). Missing or inaccurate data quality information can result in inappropriate use of the data with associated consequences of poor decision making, reduced utility and decreased market value. The increasing use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) as a primary data acquisition source for spatial databases highlights the significance of this problem. At present the measures of quality for GPS derived coordinates given by commercial software packages tend to be unrealistic and are more often than not optimistic. This is because not all of the systematic and random errors present in the observations are fully modelled through the standard functional or stochastic models used. This paper presents some of the current problems in identifying the quality of GPS data as derived from commercial processing software. Common GPS processing strategies are reviewed in the context of error modelling and data quality. Finally, current research activities into strategies for maximizing GPS data quality are presented.

The mutable relationships between telematics technologies and social change, encompassing the different ‘communication spheres’ of satellite television through to home phone use, are processes that continually produce new understandings of time and space. This has lead to simultaneous growth in what has been called ‘new geographies’. These new geographies exist on and through different scales of temporal, spatial, historical, economic and social ‘strata’. It is these ‘strata’ of new telematics geographies that the authors intend to identify and map as part of this current research project, and within this paper the authors will offer a general examination of the research methods used and results achieved thus far.

Satellite remote sensing is a discipline in which data volumes are enormous and processing chains relatively complex. As more satellites are now being launched into space by different organizations and more sophisticated research is being undertaken in this field, the volume of data captured grows year by year with higher temporal, spectral and spatial resolutions. The volume and variety and quality of these data present a challenge to traditional processing approaches. Apart from that, the requirement of the analysis of a multispectral time series of images for the same geographical location in many applications, especially in the investigation of dynamic environmental changes, also has increased the need for the high performance processing power. This paper presents research in developing a parallel processing approach applied to satellite image processing on the distributed-memory MIMD parallel system. The Victorian Partnership of Advanced Computing (VPAC) funds this research project, as one of their expertise program grants. The objectives of the research are to investigate and determine the optimal data parallelism on the distributed-memory MIMD computer, develop the specifications required to map the image data onto the parallel processors and design the algorithms of parallel spatial input/output and spatial analysis to make best use of the chosen parallelism. The paper also presents an empirical test on the determination of the area susceptible to soil salinity by using satellite images. Several approaches that can be used for remote sensing image analysis are introduced and implemented in this empirical example. The result of the performance evaluation that occurred on the MIMD computer in VPAC demonstrates the potential advanced computing has for the development of a set of software tools that can quickly perform precision analysis on large volumes of spatial data.

With the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) becoming more widespread and the increase in digital data exchange and sharing, data integration issues are becoming more apparent as users aim to utilise a variety of data sets from different sources. In rural areas, land size, soil type, crop production, irrigation and distance to transport services are among some of the key factors that influence property value. In addition, water and wind erosion, dryland salinity, fire, flood, drought and pests, both plants and animals, can pose serious threats to agricultural production and to the future capabilities of the land. In developing a tool to forecast rural property values, numerous data sets are required. This paper explores some of the issues dealing with the integration of numerous data sets, including scale, projection, database design and GIS data format differences, and aims to provide a framework for their use in data integration.
