Abstract

Abstract. The following work proposes a model of quality assurance, specific for geospatial information, developed in the Aerophotogrametric Service of the Chilean Air Force, based on international standards such as ISO 9001 and TC/ 211 standards, statistical tools, technology and the tools that will allow manage, evaluate and make better use of geospatial information at the corporate, national or regional level for decision making. The following model, proposes a scheme for the implementation of an integrated Quality Management System, specific for geospatial information, based on international standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO TC/211. This management system is implemented within the life cycle of a cartographic product (planning, production, operation and publication). This document only includes the regulations used in the Aerial Photogrammetric Service of the Chilean Air Force, but the model can be adapted to any organization and include other standards. To implement the model, first, the standards will be classified according to the life cycle of a product, depending on how they relate to the production process in the planning stages or design of the product, in the production, control of quality, generation of metadata or in its publication as a web service.

Highlights

The geospatial information is increasingly relevant in society, its use has had an exponential growth that has reached unsuspected levels for some years
This can be very attractive from the theoretical point of view, but there is a relevant element that few have been concerned with associated with the following questions: What is the quality of the geospatial information that is available in the Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI)? How can I control it? How relevant is quality in the different levels of SDI? Is the information reliable? These questions are basic to understand the real importance of controlling quality, because if we do not know the quality of the data and its associated metadata, we cannot use and reuse the information correctly and reliably, which implies distancing us from the true meaning of an IDE, which is to share geospatial information to support decision-making and collaborate with the sustainable development of the countries
The "quality of the geospatial information" is a critical point, since it is the one that determines the usability of the data and allows these to be a real contribution to the decision making according to the territory, the measurement of this quality and its report to all users, is essential if we really want to position geospatial information as technically and technologically exploitable, usable by all and a contribution to sustainable development

Summary

Introduction

The geospatial information is increasingly relevant in society, its use has had an exponential growth that has reached unsuspected levels for some years. In a vision of the future, the SAF has implemented the corporate SDI (2015-2018), a project that contemplates the implementation of a system of operational excellence based on standards (ISO TC / 211 and OGC) and associated technologies, oriented to the management, traceability and quality of geospatial information, metadata and services.
