Spatial Sustain —"Sensor webs add real-time data into decision support systems. The fact that the sensors share and fuse information amongst themselves provides pre-validation for data so that it can be trusted and acted upon immediately."

Imagery Provides Compelling Evidence of Human Rights Violations For many years individual regional organisations have independently created and maintained models of their areas of responsibility in order to support their core activities. Over 90% of data for organisations such as utilities, local government, emergency services and other regional agencies relates to a spatial location, and geographic information systems are now becoming central to most IT infrastructures.
