Digital mapping and geographical information systems (GIS) are widely recognised as key enablers in e-Government service delivery worldwide. Modern government, both in policy making and in service delivery, relies on accurate and timely information about the location of citizens, assets, incidents and policy. It has been widely reported that over 80 per cent of corporate data has a geographic or spatial component. The management, distribution and sharing of spatial data is therefore crucial to effective and efficient service delivery and policy formulation. Increasingly, government is being measured, targeted and funded for ‘e-Enabling’ its services, ensuring that information and, more recently, online services are shared across departments, agencies and citizens. Examples include: Implementing Electronic Government (IEG), the Department for Communities and Local Government’s Priority Outcomes, and the Cabinet Office’s Transformational Government initiatives in the UK. Cadcorp and Oracle work in partnership via the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) to facilitate the deployment of GIS applications that store business and spatial data in the same underlying Oracle database, and without the need for additional proprietary middleware. This reduces both the cost and complexity of developing, deploying and managing GIS applications.
