Data to Decisions: Valuing the Societal Benefit of Geospatial Information
Abstract
The March 10-11, 2016 GEOValue workshop on "Data to Decisions" was aimed at creating a framework for identification and implementation of best practices that capture the societal value of geospatial information for both public and private uses. The end-to-end information flow starts with the earth observation and data acquisition systems, includes the full range of processes from geospatial information to decisions support systems, and concludes with the end user. Case studies, which will be described in this presentation, were identified for a range of applications. The goal was to demonstrate and compare approaches to valuation of geospatial information and forge a path forward for research that leads to standards of practice.
