An integrated framework for the implementation and continuous improvement of spatial data infrastructures

Development and usage of proper frameworks for implementation, evaluation and continuous improvement of spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) is currently an important research topic. A wide range of methods are being researched. In this respect, methods and techniques on performance measurement and evaluation techniques from business management literature are not yet considered. Some techniques and methodologies from business management literature could be developed based on Six Sigma, ABC (Activity Based Costing), BSC (Balanced Scorecard) and TQM (Total Quality Management). This article describes these techniques and then provides an integrated framework, based on these business management techniques, for implementation and continuous improvement of SDIs.
