Initial Steps and Continuous Expansion
Building the repository is a stepwise process. Each step produces information
that is used by the next step. The last step is one that is usually done on a
project by project basis to fill out the repository.
Most of the steps will require participation from the corporate management to
review and approve. Opportunities will be discovered to extend the toolkit to
meet the specific visualization needs of the enterprise.
