Automating and integrating spatial data and metadata processes

自动生成与空间信息相关的元数据并通过澳大利亚SDI提供这些元数据的能力不仅在组织层面（每个组织在生成元数据时都节省了时间和金钱），而且在国家层面都有重要的好处，因为它将有助于向澳大利亚广大地区提供高质量的空间信息和服务。这将有助于解决与土地管理、环境可持续性、水权、土著土地保有权和灾害管理有关的国家问题，这些问题只有具备查找和获取高质量空间信息的能力才能解决。

The ability to automatically generate metadata relating to spatial information, and make it available through the Australian SDI will have important benefits not only at an organizational level (with each organization saving time and money in generating their metadata), but at a national level because it will assist delivery of high quality spatial information and services to vast areas of Australia. This will aid in addressing national issues concerned with land management, environmental sustainability, water rights, indigenous land tenure and disaster management, which can only be addressed by having the ability to find and access high quality spatial information.
