Incorporating Historic Facility Geospatial Data and Federal Preservation Requirements into SDSFIE/FMSFIE
Abstract:
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center Construction Engineering Research Laboratory ERDC-CERL was tasked to co-develop with the ERDC Information Technology Laboratory ERDC-ITL a definitive geospatial data model to include data types that will 1 optimally describe historic facilities in terms that are essential for complete and accurate reporting and 2 function within SDSFIEFDSFIE Spatial Data Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment Facility Management Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment. The purpose of the investigation was to help develop an improved methodology that will provide more reliable information, more efficiently, about the Department of Defense historic property inventory. An improved methodology for tracking historic property attributes and locations could reduce Department of Defense administrative costs related to complying with the reporting requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended.
