Maintaining GIS standards

Once the GIS is created it is important to continue to manage the system and to maintain data standards. This is particularly important when data sharing occurs eg between cooperating organisations. In the crocodile nesting case study cooperating organisations are the CDU and Crocodylus Park.

Standards are also important for achieving validity in the work done.

It is important to standardise the data formats and coding schemes used.
