Hi Simon, We are communicating back corrections via the LGAs; which in turn is fed to DPTI and presumably onto datasets like GNAF eventually. We are still feeling out the best way to track issues or questions. I personally like github as a slightly more effective way than person to person email; as it radiates information well.
Unfortunately it's not to friendly to binary files/shapefiles; so it is best used for feedback rather than as a publication spot (perhaps there are things that can be done with CKAN to get the best of both worlds). I think we as a community would be very interested in any suggestions to make feedback more relevant/effective/streamlined. At SA's unleashed (govhack) last year, a number of us got talking to the folks behind data.sa.gov.au and this kind of problem - how can we show what value is being created with open data, how can we turn it into a two way conversation, etc. On 13/03/2015 5:04 PM, <simon.coste...@ga.gov.au> wrote: > Hi there, > > Does any of this feedback go back to the custodians in South Australia? > > I am looking at improving some of the feedback loops. > > Thanks, > Simon > > Simon Costello > Group Leader, National Location Information | EGD Management > Environmental Geoscience Division | GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA > ____________________________________________________________ > Phone: +61 2 6249 9716<tel:+61%202%206249%209716> Fax: +61 2 6249 > 9999<tel:+61%202%206249%209999> > Email: simon.coste...@ga.gov.au<mailto:simon.coste...@ga.gov.au> > Web: www.ga.gov.au<http://www.ga.gov.au/> > Cnr Jerrabomberra Avenue and Hindmarsh Drive Symonston ACT > GPO Box 378 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia<x-apple-data-detectors://3> > Applying geoscience to Australia’s most important challenges > > > > On 10 Mar 2015, at 11:01 am, Henry Haselgrove <haselgr...@gmail.com > <mailto:haselgr...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > I agree… with a dataset this large prioritisation is important.
