                   The document mentions two information platforms:
                   1.  A “spatial information service platform” for developing

                      smart cities -  “exploring the establishment of common
                      standards, opening up data ports, developing
                      interconnected public application platforms and
                      information infrastructure facilities” so that we can
                      “develop smart transport, smart energy, smart
                        municipal management and smart communities.”
                      (Chapter 5: Expediting Infrastructural Connectivity)

                   Why centre on geographic information


                It is estimated that 80% of data is related to geographic
                location, so it is logical for data to be referenced with
                respect to their location, and depicted on a map, which
                makes it easier for people to understand.



                At the beginning of January 2019, the open data plan
                unveiled by the Hong Kong government formed an
