Shared Location Information Platform
The Shared Location Information Platform, otherwise known as SLIP, is an open data platform for Western Australia. The aim of SLIP is to improve access to, and use of location data across the public, private and research sectors. SLIP is delivered on behalf of the Government of Western Australia by Landgate; and is supported through a whole-of-government collaboration called WALIS. SLIP is a key component in delivering on the Western Australian Whole-of-Government Open Data Policy (2015), which states that government agencies should make their datasets publicly available. SLIP delivers data to users through services, including Maps such as Locate and Open Geospatial Consortium (OCG) compliant web services that can be used through Geographic information system A geographic information system (GIS) is a type of database containing Geographic data and information, geographic data (that is, descriptions of phenomena for which location is relevant), combined with Geographic informat ...

Western Australian Land Information System
The Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS) was established by the Western Australian (WA) Government in 1981. It is responsible for co-ordinating the discovery of, and access to, location-based or geographic data generated by WA Government agencies. WALIS achieves this through partnerships between organisations, projects, committees and working groups; coordinated through the WALIS Office at Landgate. History The idea for the WA Land Information System (WALIS) began in the late seventies although WALIS was not established until 1981. Since that time there have been many people involved in WALIS, some restructures and many different plans and strategies. Central to WALIS management was the Land Information System Advisory Committee, established as a forum to represent the interests of the public and private sector. The main WALIS group was the Land Information System Support Centre (LISSC), composed of technology and skilled personnel. By 1986, the rapid growth of G ...

Open Geospatial Consortium
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), an international voluntary consensus standards organization for geospatial content and location-based services, sensor web and Internet of Things, GIS data processing and data sharing. It originated in 1994 and involves more than 500 commercial, governmental, nonprofit and research organizations in a consensus process encouraging development and implementation of open standards. History A predecessor organization, OGF, the Open GRASS Foundation, started in 1992. From 1994 to 2004 the organization also used the name Open GIS Consortium. The OGC website gives a detailed history of the OGC. Standards Most of the OGC standards depend on a generalized architecture captured in a set of documents collectively called the ''Abstract Specification'', which describes a basic data model for representing geographic features. Atop the Abstract Specification members have developed and continue to develop a growing number of specifications, or ''stand ...

Geographic Information System
A geographic information system (GIS) is a type of database containing Geographic data and information, geographic data (that is, descriptions of phenomena for which location is relevant), combined with Geographic information system software, software tools for managing, Spatial analysis, analyzing, and Cartographic design, visualizing those data. In a broader sense, one may consider such a system to also include human users and support staff, procedures and workflows, body of knowledge of relevant concepts and methods, and institutional organizations. The uncounted plural, ''geographic information systems'', also abbreviated GIS, is the most common term for the industry and profession concerned with these systems. It is roughly synonymous with geoinformatics and part of the broader geospatial field, which also includes GPS, remote sensing, etc. Geographic information science, the academic discipline that studies these systems and their underlying geographic principles, may also ...
