ABSTRACT

The importance of using standards will grow in a society where information processing and exchange are continuously increasing.

For geographic information there is a number of established Swedish standards, among which the standards for Location addresses and Road and rail-road networks are included in this study.

The objective of the study is to show the benefits from using the mentioned standards and to describe a process for evaluation and implementation of these.

In general the results show that the benefits are related to increased effective-ness and higher information quality.

It is also apparent that although the use of standards is of very great importance to all kind of businesses the understanding of this is not as high as it should on a management level.

To improve this a structure process for evaluation and implementation of stan-dards is suggested.
