	abstract = {The purpose of this study is to measure, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the return on investment (ROI) to organizations implementing geospatial standards, standards specifically developed to promote  interoperability between a wide variety of different applications. This study uses cost-benefit methodologies to quantify the value of geospatial interoperability standards and to determine to whom the benefits accrue and when they accrue. },
