Spatial Data Framework
A Spatial Data Framework is a structured approach to managing and utilizing spatial data, which refers to information about the location and shape of physical features on the Earth. This framework helps organizations and governments organize, share, and analyze geographic information effectively, ensuring that data is accessible and usable for various applications, such as urban planning and environmental monitoring.
The framework typically includes standards, policies, and technologies that facilitate the integration of spatial data from different sources. It supports tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and promotes collaboration among stakeholders, enhancing decision-making processes related to land use, resource management, and disaster response.
