Summary of Agency Responses

摘要

In general, the responding agencies recognized the value of spatial technologies and had provided significant resources towards the development of spatially-enabled asset management products. The benefits included more sophisticated analysis of data and the development of powerful decision making products for internal and external access.However, the agencies indicated there were still significant issues with the implementation of a true spatial data warehouse for developing comprehensive asset management products. These issues include data quality and accuracy, multiple spatial referencing methods, a lack of standards for interagency data sharing and limited models for asset management decision analysis.Agency responders also recognized the roles of national organizations in sharing best practices and in promoting standards and open data architectures.
