Location Matters

Location is inherently a core part of Australia's First Nation's culture and GIS technology is now assisting in the education of all Australians by providing additional insight and context to aboriginal heritage through maps. Andrew Dowding and Paul Farrell discuss the connection between GIS and aboriginal communities, the importance of digitally documenting indigenous knowledge through maps and their joint venture, Winyama.

When you map the right data, you can find fascinating insights. Simple analyses shown on a map can help you see patterns you couldn't see elsewhere, which can help you make decisions. Adam Mullett and Dion Fleming join Sarah Butler to discuss their analysis which uses a map to help answer the question of where it is best to use ride-sharing instead of a taxi.

Open source software is changing the world and growing a strong community from around the globe. Free software that is contributed to by the developer community underpins many of the spatial solutions that we build and Paul Ramsay, co-founder of PostGIS, explains why we all need to pay attention and start contributing to the project.

You've defined your business problem and you think spatial technology might be a good way to solve it, but how do you start? What are the questions you need to ask and what technology needs to go into the stack? Directors Richard Bentley and Paul Farrell join Adam Mullett to discuss.

Mapping has never been more relevant in industry as it becomes more accessible. Spatial products are used by the majority of the world's companies in some form, whether that be simple address checking, analysis or highly sophisticated applications. So why did the people at NGIS join the industry and which parts do they enjoy? Nick Chai, Dion Fleming, Richard Bentley join Adam Mullett on Location Matters to discuss their feelings towards the industry.

Crowd sourced data has been used for a number of years now to support decisions around infrastructure and cities. Without having to set up equipment to collect measurement data, we can now ask questions of our cities using a raft of data sources, which allows us to play with ideas and thrash out scenarios before needing to commit to a direction. It also allows players into the market who traditionally didn’t have a starting point to be competitive. So what’s next and how is the data being made easier to use? NGIS transport lead, Jeeten Chauhan and Google’s smart cities lead in APAC Ian McPherson join Adam Mullett on this episode of the podcast.

Working alongside one of the world's most innovative and useful companies shows you a new way of working and opens the door to opportunity. It's also a wild ride when an elephant decides to pivot quickly. Adam Mullett and Paul Farrell discuss what it's like to be a partner of Google.

Our world is an incredibly dynamic place and we have come to understand aspects of it over time. Since our entry to space the technology we use to understand the planet has changed the questions we ask and the data we have at hand to answer them. Widely available and powerful cloud computing infrastructure has changed the game again – we are able to use thousands of computers at once to get answers that would be incalculably expensive to process by other means. Paul Farrell, Nathan Eaton and Adam Mullett discuss the world or earth observation and cloud computing in this episode of Location Matters.
