Abstract
The number of multi-sourced heterogeneous spatial datasets continues to grow and the fragmentation of organizational arrangements has caused much technical and non-technical heterogeneity. Spatial Data Infrastructures aim to facilitate spatial data use and sharing, and can be an effective platform to aid in data integration. This paper discusses the technical and non-technical heterogeneities of multi-sourced spatial data within the holistic framework of Spatial Data Infrastructure. The paper capitalizes on research and case studies undertaken within Australia. The paper also introduces Geo-WebServices as a means of facilitating spatial data integration and interoperability. Geo-WebService can provide a platform to assess the level of Integrability and readiness of multi-sourced datasets. The results of this research aim to assist practitioners in developing the necessary technical tools including geo web-services and guidelines for effective data integration.
