The Components of a National Geospatial Infrastructure
Requires More Than Technology
• Governance:
- Vision, policy & strategy, doctrine & concepts
• People:
- Organization, training, personnel
• Processes:
- Workflows, Community of Interest
• Information:
- Authoritative data, information and services
• Interoperability:
- People, systems, networks, security
…..and a Culture of Collaboration and Continuous Innovation
