Abstract

Geospatial Line of Business—Lifecycle Management (Panel Discussion)
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Authors: Wendy Blake-Coleman, Lewis Sanford, Lorri Peltz-Lewis

The Geospatial Line of Business (GeoLoB) Lifecycle Management Workgroup received endorsement in December 2008 on the OMB Circular A-16 Supplemental Guidance document. This document provides additional guidance on Roles and Responsibilities, a Lexicon of Geospatial Terminology, Geospatial Data Lifecycle Stages, and Principals for defining the characteristics of data thems for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Current activities include the development of a lifecycle stage maturity model for the geospatial datasets, identification of management practices, and an approach to geospatial portfolio management complimentary to Circular A-16. The panel will discuss the development of the supplemental guidance, activities the team have been involved in since December 2008, and continuing efforts for FY2010.
