AB Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) comprise a set of policies aimed at coordinating thenumerous layers of spatial information upon which society functions. To achieve this objective effectively an SDI must encompass policies, standards, and procedures for organisations to cooperatively produce and share geographic data. One of the most fundamental problems restricting the objectives of SDI is the fragmentation of data between different agencyboundaries. Essentially this problem stems from the differing criteria and methods adopted by agencies designing individual boundary units. This current lack of coordination and unstructured methodologies for subdividing space has lead to difficulties in integrating, analysing andexchanging information across boundaries and through time.To further the objectives of SDIs in providing mechanisms for data integration, methods by which agencies may derive administrative boundaries using a common framework, which still meet their own individual requirements are being investigated. Through the developmentalgorithms and standards for the design of administrative boundaries within a spatial hierarchy it is envisaged that SDI will incorporate data integration and cross analysis to its range of existing functions.
