Brunei to share geospatial imagery and data online?

According to a recent Brunei Times article (thanks Bill for the heads-up and link!), the Survey Department is this year embarking on a web-based system for the management and dissemination of its geospatial data through an ERDAS APOLLO provider. 

From the article:

The challenge currently faced by the department is making the current street directory available on-line, which brings about another matter that needs to be looked into, which is the coordination of access to spatial data in different formats from many different agencies (potentially from commercial data suppliers).

The first phase of the ERDAS APOLLO, according to the online news report, is to provide web-based workflows to improve productivity for the Survey Department staff, as well as to make this data accessible to other government agencies.

Later in 2012, Brunei Survey Department will introduce an ERDAS APOLLO-based geospatial portal that will supply imagery and data to the general public.
