Description
SDIC Title INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE ON SURVEYING AND MAPPING
Acronym ICSM
Details
Mission and Objectives ICSM's role is to provide leadership, coordination and standards for surveying, mapping and charting, and assembling and maintaining national framework data sets. Framework data includes geodetic, topographic, cadastral, street addressing, tides and sea level, and geographical names. ICSM's coverage includes both land and sea.
Mandate ICSM was established by the Australian Prime Minister, State Premiers and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory in 1988. Since that time New Zealand and the Australian Capital Territory have joined ICSM. There is a close relationship between jurisdictional spatial information, surveying and mapping programs and close alignment of ICSM projects with those of ANZLIC - The Spatial Information Council. ICSM became a Standing Committee of ANZLIC in 2003.
Formal Mandate National Government
Main Activities ICSM's goals are: Establish an effective framework that facilitates data integration. Facilitate the development of the Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure (ASDI). Set best practice surveying, mapping, hydrography and toponomy. Enable effective participation of stakeholders in ICSM processes.
