Brief description
Foundation spatial data is defined as “the authoritative geographic informationthat underpins, or can add significant value to, any other information. It supports
evidence-based decisions across government, industry and the community”1.
Criteria has been developed to determine non-foundation from foundation. To be
classified as foundation, the spatial data must contain one or more of the following
characteristics to be deemed ‘foundation’:
• be geospatial
• essential for public safety and wellbeing
• critical for a national and state or government function
• contribute significantly to economic, social and environmental sustainability.
NSW has adopted the ten data themes identified by ANZLIC. These are:
1. Administrative Boundaries
2. Land Parcel and Property
3. Geocoded Addressing
4. Transport
5. Positioning
6. Place Names
7. Elevation and Depth
8. Imagery
9. Water
10. Land Cover.
