As a number of Dataversity members will be at that conference, it
presents a good opportunity to meet up. The conference programme is no

If you are going to be there, and are interested in meeting up, please

Please also indicate if you'd be willing to help organise a meeting by

The conference room sounds good. Since DOC doesn't have video conferencing

Ana, is that viable from that room?

With the interest in a Wellington meeting on 24 or 25 September,
http://dataversity.org.nz/r/topic/77agfZ1cqPmmCXIQ9TuwRv
I would like to build the participation in Dataversity among people from
territorials in the Wellington region. I am a bit at a loss for contact people,
tho.

If you know of people involved in biodiversity data management from any of the
following, can you please let me know.

DOC's Conference Room is free for use on Wednesday 24 September from 1.30
onwards if you want it (I've tentatively booked it out). It is not available
at 10.30 on Thursday though, and does not have video conference facilities.
Smaller rooms will be available, so it depends on how many are coming.

Thanks for your responses so far, folks. Looks like we're going to have some
diversity of participation, which is excellent.

The time-frame is now narrowed to anytime on the Weds 24th, or 10:30 AM on
Thurs 25th September.

Julian, can you get us a room at DoC that has video conference facilities?

Jim, do you need any particular type of video conference facility?

Others, any further interest (including via video conference)?

All, any further preferences for day or time?

And please spread the word. Let's have as large and diverse a participant group
as we can, whilst retaining a clear focus on local government biodata
management.

If you can't make it, don't worry. I will make sure that notes from the session
are posted to the online group.

Rest of post

I'm keen to attend but am unable to make it to Wellington. Any chance of
getting a room with video conference facilities?

We (DOC) are also keen to get a representative along to the proposed
dataversity meeting in Wellington as we are dealing with many of the issues
that have been and will be discussed as well. It seems a good opportunity
to get paths of communication established between DOC and Regional Council
people. There is still some discussion about who this will be as I am the
appointed contact person but I am away on leave.

I can probably get us a meeting room at DOC if needed.

I'm currently doing a review of the Biodiversity web site
http://www.biodiversity.govt.nz, and would love to get this group's input
into the future direction for the site.

I could do anytime on the 24th, or 10:30 on the 25th.

I'm going to be in Wellington on 24 or 25 September.

Anyone keen for a Dataversity meetup on one of those days?

I'd suggest an open invitation to anyone interested in discussing local
government biodata management with the following agenda.

Making sure everyone knows everyone.
Swapping notes about biodata management.
Feedback about Dataversity itself.

Anyone keen to host (ie pick a time and book a room for) this?

Hi Matt,

Possibly try Paul Barter at Cawthron ( 03)548 2319
<email obscured>) Horizons, Hawkes' Bay, and West Coast are
trialling versions of Cawthron's database. Admittedly we're not doing
much fisheries stuff in it (yet), but Anna Madarasz-Smith at HBRC might
be utilising some fisheries aspect that the database handles (

We are currently exploring options for a fisheries monitoring database
for use as part of our State Of the Environment monitoring program.
Although it early days yet, it looks like there are going to be a few
issues with the multi-parameter nature of fish data (species, abundance,
length, size/age class etc) and the current limitation of Hilltop. Has
anyone attempted to tackle this problem yet?

Cheers

Subject: [dataversity public discussion] One-Land Data Hub?

Good morning,

Thank you for your feedback - though I do suggest that you reply to the
forum so that we can keep the discussion open.

Based upon your ideas and those provided by other forums I now have a
reasonable idea, at a high level, what the a data exchange might look
like. It is suggested that we start a Pilot of a One-Land data exchange
that has councils and other contributors serving data up to the internet
via WMS, WFS and KML servers. Attributes of these data (quality,
pricing, licences, discrepancies etc) are then managed via services
bundled into a Hub.

I now have a scope document for a One-Land Pilot (document available to
those interested - please contact me). For the scope I contracted Mike
Pownall (a Wn consultant with extensive knowledge about central
government geospatial issues and an experienced project manager) to
provide a technical overview and a realty check for the One-Land ideas.

With the scope complete we are now looking at the implementation phase.
I believe that we should ideally use or build upon knowledge already
within the local government sector. The thinking here is that we
encourage regional clusters of this knowledge along the lines of the
collaboration in Auckland (ALGGi), BOP (BOP LASS), Manawatu / Wanganui
(their LASS), Waikato (WaiGIS, WaiLASS?) and the Wellington cluster.

With this aim I am seeking technical knowledge and experience to provide
Councils with help in setting up WMS, WFS and KML servers (both open
source and proprietary). I am also seeking related knowledge to help
establish the Hub. I believe, if necessary, we can get funding for this
knowledge from a combination of TFBIS, Envirolink, SMF and Digital
Strategy funding (applications needed over the next couple of months). I
anticipate access to this knowledge being provided via virtual
collaborative workspaces initially using Google technology (cheap,
cheerful and readily available ~8-) ) and possibly moving to other
collaborative technology if appropriate.

If we can't source the knowledge from Councils, then I intend
approaching the Universities / CRIs and then if necessary industry. As
part of the Scope development I have already invited industry comment on
One-Land to get an idea of cost for the Hub and to give them a chance to
contribute.

But as mentioned, my belief is that we should build at least a critical
core of the knowledge within the council regional clusters.

So, do you or does your organisation have this technical and virtual
community knowledge that can be made available via collaborative
workspaces to others?

If not are you interested in building this knowledge within your region?

Cheers
Jim
