Geospatial LoB Vision

The Nation’s interests are served, and the core

missions of Federal agencies and their partners

are met, through the effective and efficient

development, provision, and interoperability of

geospatial data and services

Citizen-Centered, Results Driven Government 8

Goals and Objectives

Goal 1 -> Productive intergovernmental collaboration for geospatial-related activities and investments across all sectors and levels of government.

Goal 2 -> Optimized and standardized common geospatial functions, services, and processes that are responsive to customers.

Goal 3 -> Cost efficient acquisition, processing, and access to geospatial data and information.

FEA Geospatial Profile

Purpose: Provide guidance to government agencies to identify and describe the role of geospatial data, services, and related capabilities in their business processes and enterprise architectures.

Objectives:

1. Use the FEA to “geospatially-enable” business processes

2. Use the FEA as a means to support description and sharing of geospatial resources across organizations.

3. Build geospatial considerations into all aspects of agency enterprise architecture development.

4. Reinforce existing guidelines, standards, and policies established by OMB, FGDC, and ISO for development, management, and use of geospatial resources.

5. Provide a means to measure performance in the use and management of geospatial resources.
