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
