How to use the model • Decide what national data layer needs to be produced. • Determine where the data layer falls within the geospatial data market model. • Determine the policies that will most effectively lead to the development and maintenance of the layer. Note: Approaches from multiple quadrants may be appropriate for a single layer. 10 -15 -08 Barney Krucoff, presentation to National Geospatial Advisory Committee 8
