2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Will GIS Finally Deliver Smarter e-Gov Services? Track: Cadastral and Land Records Author(s): Mike Traynor The paper will reflect on endeavours within the UK and Europe to promote and support electronic service delivery from central/ local government. An increasing emphasis is now being placed on the fundamental importance of geographic information in supporting electronic public service. Various initiatives are being pursued at national and pan-European level to conjoin data and service content; however, are we being ambitious enough The paper will argue that we need to challenge conventional wisdom and traditional responsibilities in favour of more streamlined and efficient public service. Rather than simply develop better means to share data we need to focus on adopting a capture once, maintain centrally, use many times philosophy. Rationalisation of data in this ssnse could deliver significant economies and benefits. Logically it could lead to critical re-modelling of public service responsibility and delivery to align with actual data life cycle and focus more on corresponding user needs.
