Abstract—The use of spatial information is increasing rapidly. There is a growing recognition amongst both governments and the private sector that an understanding of location and place is a vital component of effective decision making. Citizens with no recognized expertise in spatial information and who are unlikely to even be familiar with the term, are also increasingly using and interacting with spatial information; indeed in some cases they are contributing to its collection – often in an involuntary way. Based on the contributions received, trends have been broken down into broad themes covering major aspects of the spatial information. They are as follows: trends in technology and the future direction of data creation, maintenance and management in spatial data provision and management.
