Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine spatial data storage requirements.
- Requirements for spatial data storage are determined in consultation with appropriate persons.
- Audit of existing spatial data sources is conducted to determine their suitability, useability, dependencies and adaptability in meeting storage requirements.
- Feasibility of storage requirements is assessed against organisational budget, resources and priorities; and documented according to organisational requirements.
- Plan storage system design.
- Plan is developed based on functional requirements of storage system and detailing spatial data dependencies.
- Appropriate spatial data storage environment is determined according to data and organisational requirements.
- Schedule for introducing data storage system is developed and communicated to appropriate persons.
- Prototype is created and tested, or a standard format adopted, to confirm that design meets functional requirements.
- Finalise storage system design.
- Final design of spatial data storage system is negotiated with appropriate persons according to organisational requirements.
- Final design is agreed and accepted, and documentation is created according to organisational requirements.
- End users are canvassed to determine effectiveness of designed spatial data storage system.
- Feedback is analysed and used to make improvements to storage system according to organisational requirements.
