Kentucky Creates a Geographic Information
Advisory Council (GIAC now KyGB) to provide input
and oversight regarding GIS Implementation

What is KyRaster?

• KyRaster is Kentuckys Geospatial Database for
  Raster data and is contained in a dedicated
  instance of ESRI SDE it
• Was collectively built by GIS Staff from several
  State Agencies
• Resides in Mirrored Instances at Cold Harbor
  Computing Center
• Contains all the aerial images, topographic maps,
  digital elevation models, hillshade, SPOT
  satellite imagery, TruColor Imagery, LandCover
  Imagery, Slope, and other critical raster GIS
  base layers
• Is leveraged by nearly every State Agency (that
  does GIS)
• Drives all of the IMS Applications served by
  State Government
• Is leveraged on the GIS Desktop by users in State
  Agencies

12
What is KyVector?

• KyVector is Kentuckys Geospatial Database for
  Vector data which is also contained in a
  dedicated instance of SDE it
• Is the master repository of vector-based (lines,
  polygons, and points)
• Is based on all vector data that is available on
  the Kentucky Geography Network
• Mirrors the categories on the browse tab of the
  KYGEONET
• Contains full metadata records for each vector
  dataset
• Leveraged by ArcGIS Users on the WAN
• Leveraged by many IMS Sites
• Resides in Mirrored Instances at Cold Harbor
