Synopsis
This chapter explores the requirements and solutions for integration of geospatial standards and interoperability strategies into government and commercial business processes. It also looks in a general way at the necessity and difficulty of making a corporate commitment to interoperability. As the recent Delphi survey on standards emphasized, "Standards provide the ability to leverage IT investment in unforeseen ways. "Most business processes that could benefit from geospatial information don't yet benefit because spatial information has been locked in non-standard systems or “stove pipes.” 1 A committent to interoperability and to standards unlocks this foundational information type, leveraging current IT investments in unforeseen ways. However, with geospatial data and processing as well as with other kinds of data and processing, it is clear that while technical interoperability is necessary, it is not sufficient. Therefore, the use of standards and interoperable architectures are secondary to an understanding of a given business process and how geospatial data and services and by extension standards can best be used.
