Historically, the organizational framework for geospatial data has been site- and software-specific. Key issues with this framework include: duplication of data themes, uncertainty about the content of data themes, loss of institutional knowledge, time-consuming data requests, and unintentional release or misuse of data. Geographic Information System (GIS) data management options have expanded rapidly over the past several years. Software and hardware advances have provided better network access to spatial data, allowed more complex geospatial data models, and have made the integration of GIS and database management systems a reality. This short Technical Note discusses a five-part approach to creating a data repository that addresses the problems of the historical organizational framework for geospatial data. Fort Hood, Texas was the site used to develop the prototype. A report documenting the complete study will be available in late Spring 2001. |
