It looks good, it must be right. GNSS is a driver for national economies. Deliberately or inadvertent deception GNSS is neutral, it’s also used by the ‘threat actors’. Geospatial sector standards, quality control and security GNSS denial – jamming and spoofing. Ability to trust government data Do governments recognise this value and have they considered requires accessibility whether there are risks of losing it? Apps and machines as well as human interpretation Authoritative data helps prevent the wrong answers when machines/apps integrate data from many sources 3 4 3 4  18/09/2024 Importance of user requirements The changing nature of national geospatial Value lies in the use of data to solve problems. agencies User requirements are a means to understand the problem and how integrating data and technologies can help solve it. National geospatial agencies remain vital to a nation but need to adapt to the changing geospatial ecosystem. Two-way discussion; geospatial organisations understand the There is not one answer, but: potential, the users understand the problem. Focus remains on users and national priorities. Users are increasingly machines and applications, not just people. Data integration and agency collaboration is essential part of this. It is difficult to understand secondary and tertiary uses further along Authoritative and trusted data are increasingly important in an the supply chain. interconnected age.
