searching for a location (data elements): A site selector needs to collect information about the various locations under consideration and compare what they have to offer (see the definition of comparative analysis) against a set of selection criteria. We call those who supply the information location data suppliers. Site selectors themselves may be classified as location data suppliers when they work between enterprise developers and local development representatives or area developers. Location data is broken into various categories to
facilitate discussion of a site seletors wants and needs as well as
analysis. We refer to the categories on this page as data elements. A
short list
identifying the most obvious categories is provided below. There is
an even shorter list of four
essential data categories presented in the
resource paper, An
Introduction to the Enterprise Development Process. A group
of consultants and their location data suppliers came up with the set
of 1,200 data elements in 2001. The
data elements were organized into 25 categories. The following list of 29 location data elements is approximately
the the same: A location data element is a constituent of a composite presentation, such as a community economic development profile or package, of factual information especially organized to analysis or use for making decisions, usually by a so called prospect. The following is actually made up of categories of location data elements. They are reducible to elements of informational requests that say an enterprise developer might share with a local development representative as detailed site selection criteria, for example see the over one thousand data elements offered as standards for economic development agencies to use in preparing location pacakges.
