  1. Dataset Review Date: 21 September 2004

  2. Objectives • To provide background to why this activity was initiated • To state how we intend to meet the requirements • To report progress • Way forward

  3. Why? • To review • the purpose, • appropriateness, and • quality of socio-economic data sets currently in use in public planning for use in the Department. • To determine present and future needs of various Directorates within the Department • To ensure that the proposed DWAF systems (PesIMS) (PosIMS) are in no way duplication of work in other departments or institutions. • Ascertain how existing information could potentially be obtained and linked in a standardized and meaningful way into DWAF Management Systems.

  4. How and what ? • Information obtained through Internet searches • Identified and established contacts in various Departments • Bilateral interviews arranged with various institutions • A “capturing form” was developed with which we are populating with the information • Fields based on the requirements as provided by the SABS Metadata Standard - National Spatial Information Framework (NSIF) • The value and relevance would be assessed in collaboration with user requirements as established by the directorates in DWAF • Potential gaps and integration would be assessed based on strengths and limitations of the data set, including an assessment of methodology.

  5. How ? • A minimum data set requirement would be established as a result of the interrogating process • Recommendations for utilization.

  6. Where are we ? Interviewed

  7. Where are we ? Interviewed

  8. Where in the process are we? • Currently in the process of capturing fields – a list is available as attachment in your documentation. Summary: • Still interviewing listed institutions • Started populating the fields • Will continue consultation process within and outside DWAF

  9. Preliminary Finding • No duplication evident so far • Institutions concentrate on specific sector information • -IDEA-data – more specific to housing • -PIMMS-data - IDP and MIG • The 2001 census data not integrated in any of the reviewed systems • The intended PES and POS-systems would differ in the following way: • PesIMS would host data specific to water management • Data would be aggregated to water management areas • Water consumption units • The intended PosIMS would be utilizing time-series data to update scenario’s relevant to water planning and management. • The latter function does not exist in any of the reviewed systems

  10. Way forward • To continue with: • the interviewing process • populating the capture form • the data assessment, and eventually • Consultation with stakeholders in DWAF • Census data would need to be integrated, aligned and adjusted for boundary differences.
