ISP (Information Strategy Planning) for 4S-Based Integration of Spatial Information Systems as Korean Nationwide Project

Abstract

This paper presents goals and contents of ISP for a nationwide project in Korea called “Development of 4S-based Integration Technologies.” Results of this ISP can be utilized for establishing nationwide 4S architecture, strategy, business model, and plan for related current and future projects. 4S project is a government-supported program for the purpose of development of core technologies and integration methods for four systems that are commonly related to spatial information. Application items of 4S such as projects of local governments are also defined and developed in this task. However, there were few systematic approaches about derivation of application items, propulsion strategies and policies, relationships between technical components, and future plans, till now. In this research, by establishing a comprehensive ISP for the 4S project, we form a foundation of nationwide 4S industry and promote integration and utilization of 4S technologies. This ISP is also used for a master plan or guideline prior to system design and implementation for nationwide projects or business items related to spatial information.
