abstract: In this poster, we describe a work package of the project Ellipse - archiving of official geospatial data under federal legislation in Switzerland. The work package treats the Conservation and Archiving Planning for all the geospatial data of the federal administration. The Conservation and Archiving Planning allows to determine how long a set of geospatial data is kept at the authority responsible and if it is of archival value or not. An overarching, coordinated and joint planning is of fundamental importance when dealing with geospatial data sets, so to ensure the combinability in the long term.
