Key Components to a Geospatial Engineering Framework

Consistent - Standard Data Sets and Models ► Spatial Data Standards for Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) ► A/E/C CAD and BIM Data Standards ► Enables the concept of “collect once and use many times”

Accessible - Easy Access to Authoritative Data Sources ► Data is consistent, unambiguous, and exploitable by any business

function or organizational element ► Integrated with and Available through CorpsMap, the USACE Enterprise

GIS Sustainable - Integrating Geospatial Technology into Business Line

Workflow to Maintain Information and Give Users Access to Technology and Tools ► Policy ► Standard Tools and Applications
