A Brief Moment in TimeHistory of GIS - In
Minnesota

• 1967 LCMR funds Lakeshore Project at the U of M
• 1968 Environmental Planning Programming
  Language (EPPL) developed to support study.
• 1969 LCMR funds the Minnesota Land Information
  System, which produced the first wall-sized
  Land Use map.
• 1971 LCMR funds project to use GIS for state
  park planning.
• 1975 First statewide map of public ownership
  produced with GIS. First state in the nation to
  produce a statewide map of forest resources.
• 1977 LMIC created as nations first state GIS
  center evolving from work at the University of
  Minnesota in the late 1960s.
• 1980 State builds first polygon based
  statewide land use database.
• 1981 Public ownership study produces statewide
  maps still used today.
• 1990 First Minnesota GIS/LIS Consortium
  conference St. Paul.
• 1991 Minnesota Governors Council on Geographic
  Information created.
• 1990s GIS widely implemented in state
  agencies and local government.

  projects that help other organizations that serve
  Minnesota achieve better outcomes by using GIS
  technology to support their analysis,
  decision-making, and operational activities.
• DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS LMIC provides web
  services and software that enhance our
  understanding of social, economic, and
  environmental issues through custom reports,
  maps, and analytical models designed to support
  decisions that improve government services and
  Minnesota's quality of life.
• DATA SERVICES LMIC identifies data needs,
  promotes standards, develops and integrates data,
  serves as a state data archive, and provides
  geographic data to the public, emphasizing
  cost-effective visualization and data download
  services over the Internet.
• COORDINATION SERVICES LMIC works with state,
  local and federal governments, professional
  associations, universities, nonprofit
  organizations and businesses to coordinate
  activities related to geographic information
  technology and data development.

Geographic Data Clearinghouse

• LMICs Geographic Data Clearinghouse serves as a
  First-Stop source for geographic data and maps
  about Minnesota.
• Services provided by this cooperative of GIS data
  producers help you
• Find maps and data
• Discover other information about Minnesotas
  geography
• Receive assistance in documenting GIS data
• Get your questions answered via a help line
• Most of the data and maps are free online all
  data is documented.
• The Clearinghouse is coordinated by the Land
  Management Information Center and includes a wide
  range of partners from state, regional and local
  government, education, and the private sector. It
  is an umbrella website that helps you search
  the DNR Data Deli, Mn/DOT Basemaps, MetroGIS,
  USGS, and many other sources all at once.

Statewide Parcel Mapping Inventory
24
FEMA Statewide InventoryImagery Elevation Data

• The purpose of this project is to inventory
  high-density elevation and aerial photography
  data collections and acquisition plans in
  Minnesota. The inventory will include federal,
  state, local government and private sector
  sources and the results will be distributed in
  the form of interactive Web-enabled maps and
  reports.
• Goals
• Decrease costs by reducing redundancies
• Foster cooperation among levels of government
• Increased knowledge exchange and technology
  transfer
• Assure data compatibility
• Promote efficient and economic data access
• Increase the sharing of best practices
• Deliverables
• Compile a contact database of inventory subjects
• Design and implement a Web-based inventory
• Analyze inventory results
• Report inventory results via Website
• Create an inventory update mechanism
• Prototyping a data access Web service

Data ClearinghouseSupporting Web Mapping
Services (WMS)

• What is a WMS?
• A WMS produces maps of spatially referenced data
  dynamically from geographic information.
• A map is not the data itself. WMS-produced maps
  are generally rendered in a pictorial format such
  as PNG, GIF or JPEG. This is in contrast to a Web
  Feature Service (WFS), which returns the actual
  data.
• ArcIMS and Minnesota MapServer are examples of
  web-based WMS clients. But a client application
  does not have to be web-based. ESRIs ArcGIS,
  AutoDesks AUTOCAD and MapINFO are all popular
  geospatial data processing software products that
  contain WMS connector clients.

  to provide versatile access to large statewide
  raster databases according to the Open GIS

  the Commissioner of the Department of
  Administration and are drawn from state agencies,
  federal and local governments, higher education
  and the private sector.
