Webinar: Subsurface Utilities and Digital Twins
Spatial Digital Twin
Date & Time
Friday, 13 May 2022
12:00 pm
- 1:00 pm
AEST
We invite you to join us for a webinar on this topical issue, with presenters Dr Craig Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Surveying/GPS/Geodesy at UNSW and Wayne Patterson Director, Spatial Operations at the NSW Department of Customer Service.
Craig will give a short update on the revision of the Australian Standard, AS_5488 Classification of subsurface utility information in the context of datum modernisation, low-cost multi-GNSS and recent advances in positioning infrastructure in Australia. Data storage, data distribution and security are identified as challenges suggesting a reimagined data governance will be needed. Could a Spatial Digital Twin assist?
So what is a Spatial Digital Twin? Is it a BIM? Where does it come from? What is an open data policy? Who can use it? Can I use it? How? Which Datum? How accurate is the data?
Rather than just another PowerPoint webinar, Craig will interview Wayne in a free-flowing format and ask these and many more questions. Attendees are invited to also ask their questions live in the chat as the conversation evolves.
This webinar is designed to answer your questions and is targeted at surveyors, geospatial users, students and the wider spatial community. We hope it will be engaging, illuminating and encourage a broader understanding and usage of this valuable new spatial data ecosystem.
All are welcome to attend, so register now below.
