Clearinghouse is a physical repository structure that collects, stores, and disseminates information, metadata, and data. It is a distributed system of servers located on the Internet which contain field-level descriptions of available digital spatial data and services. This descriptive information, known as metadata, is collected in a standard format to facilitate query and consistent presentation across multiple websites. Clearinghouse uses readily available Web technology for the publication and discovery of available geospatial resources through clearinghouse portal.

National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) defined as the technologies, policies and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government

Metadata is textual and sometimes graphical information that describes geographic information system (GIS) resources in the same way a card in a library's card catalogue describes a book. Once you've found a resource with a search, its metadata will help you decide whether it's suitable for your purposes. To make this decision, you may need to know how accurate or current the resource is and if there are any restrictions on how it can be used. Metadata can answer these questions.

Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) is an initiative by the government to develop a geospatial data infrastructure to enhance the awareness about data availability and improve access to geospatial information. This can be fulfilled by facilitating data sharing among participating agencies

MyGDI as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) for Malaysia, is a national infrastructure comprises of person, policy, standard, geospatial information and technology established by MyGDI Circular Letter No. 1 of 2006 -  Guidelines for the Implementation of Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) for the purpose of facilitating the sharing and dissemination of geospatial information amongst government agencies, private sector and the general publics. Through this infrastructure, smart partnership among agencies is continuously being developed to produce and share geospatial information thus providing customer-focused, cost effective and timely delivery of geospatial data.

Application of geospatial data in MaCGDI shall be made by head of department via an official letter addressed to:

  • Geoinformation for Natural Resources and Environment (G4NRE) is an application exclusively developed to address the needs of top government executives in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Top government officers can extract information in G4NRE to assist them in policy making, development planning, monitoring, besides reinforcing the use of geo-information technology. This application will enable the nation to preserve her natural resources and environment in a sustainable way.
  • The spatial data within the application are displayed in accord with the ministry six (6) core areas, i.e. Land, Mineral, Water, Biodiversity, Forestry and the Environment.
• Application can be accessed at http://g4nre.mygeoportal.gov.my. ( user must be a staff member of NRE and access is only through the NRE network ).
• MS1759:2004 (Geographic Information / Geomatics - Features and Attribute Codes )describe the encoding of the real world in terms of features and attributes. Features are real world objects while attributes are properties or characteristics associated with the objects. This document can be purchase from SIRIM.
     Geographical Names Database (Pangkalan Data Nama Geografi-PDNG) is like a geographical names data bank which is use to store names, locations, historical backgrounds and gazette notifications. It is an authoritative records that are available for government and public use. 

  • MyGeoName applications developed to store all geographical names databases all across the country.
  • It was developed to provide authoritative information relating to the location and spelling of geographical names which are gazetted in a consistent format for the official use of government, industry and the public.

Unique identification of the land parcels that is owned by the State Authority
• Identify the physical parcel of land (lot)
Provide a basis for implementing a uniform documentation of the relevant agencies and facilitate the efforts of system integration and interoperability between agencies

 
COORDINATION OF UPI CODE  
Rational of UPI codes coordination include:
 

i) Spatial and textual information about the land parcel acquired from various sources including Cadastral Database (PDUK) in the JUPEM and the Computerised Land Registration System (SPTB) in PTG is not uniform. This resulted in the information of land parcel acquired by online users (online) is difficult to access and analyze because the data is using a different code and name of the land administrative boundaries.

ii) To facilitate the sharing of geospatial information in a variety of business transactions including the parcel of land conversion applications, subdivision, alienation, property and other.

iii) To assist the central agencies such as State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN) to create conditions for fast track decisions on matters of land transactions involving the various agencies.

iv) UPI code uniformity is parallel with the implementation of e-Tanah project. It is a transaction system to facilitate and expedite the title search and tax payments on-line.

v) To coordinate the spelling name of the state, district/ province, county/ city/ town and section / precinct which is a responsibility to the State Secretary (SUK). It is very important in giving a correct name to a place that will not cause confusion to users.


 




BENEFITS OF UPI IMPLEMENTATION 

Generally the implementation of the UPI code will provide the following benefits:

i)    Ease of implementation and integration of application systems within and between agencies. 

ii)   Facilitate the sharing of geospatial information.

iii)  Assisting agencies in developing systems and applications.

ivProvide guidance implementation a uniform documentation of all agencies.

In general, UPI code will help the Agency Data Provider has a standard that will facilitate system integration and operations between the agency.

The end result of coordinating UPI are:

 

  • Exist lots of unique identification (UPI) for e-Tanah system, JUPEM, PTG, JPPH, Sistem Data Dictionary Sektor Awam (DDSA) - MAMPU and other agencies
 
  • Reference Books Code and Name of Land Administrative Boundary (UPI), replacing NALISCO Book published in 1998
