Adoption of GSBPM to manage geospatial information production processes

Abstract

To standardize production processes, INEGI uses the Statistical and Geographical Process Model (MPEG, by its Spanish acronym), a version of the GSBPM that also incorporates the production of geographical information. The implementation of the MPEG helps to mitigate risks, clearly assign responsibilities, and achieve an explicit division of labor. Likewise, the MPEG provides a common language that facilitates communication between the various actors involved in the information production process. This paper discusses the management of the Mexican Geospatial Data Cube, through the MPEG framework, as an illustrative example of the standardized description and documentation of activities carried out by this geospatial information production process.
