3
Delaware

• No central GIS Authority
• Data developed at, and shared among, all levels
  of government
• Based on a shared Framework standard data sets
  work together
• All contribute data, all gain data

4
Delaware

• 2,000 Square Miles
• (Give or Take)
• 784,000 Folks
• 3 Counties
• 57 Municipalities

5
A Close-Knit Community

• The Sec. of Agriculture and the State Planning
  Director

Levy Court Commission Brooks Banta and Governor
Ruth Ann Minner

Our Challenge

• Create and maintain useful spatial data
• Accurate, up-to-date, statewide
• Open to all
• In a completely distributed environment
• With no truly formal control

7
Coordination, Not Control

• Local expertise creates better data
• Two keys
• Communicate
• Share Data

8
Delawares GIS Community

• Inter-related Committees
• State Mapping Advisory Committee
• Delaware Geographic Data Committee
• Delaware Spatial Data I-Team
• Focused on Delawares Spatial Data Framework

9
The Spatial Data Framework

• Accepted in 2000
• The skeleton that supports a wide variety of
  spatial data sets
• Limited to core, skeletal data sets
• Part of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure
  (NSDI)

Need for Improvement

• Delaware topographic map series (DRGs/DLGs)
  produced in early 1990s
• Updated Delaware DOQQs 1997/2002, Land Use,
  DelDOT Transportation Network, Municipal
  Boundaries, Watersheds (Delaware Framework)
• Several USGS National datasets under development
  GNIS, NHD, NED, Imagery, Land Cover (The
  National Map)

20
Why so Fast and Complete?

• Partnerships
• DGS, USGS, DGDC, SMAC, DE-GIS Community
• Remember what we said about being small?

21
NSGIC, Sept. 2000, Tahoe

• Discussion With USGS
• We have data
• you have data
• DLG updates?

22
The National Map

• Seamless
• Nationwide
• Current
• Partnership based
• Major data themes
• Public domain
• Online accessibility

23
Can We Have

• Somewhere on-line to combine and compare data?
• A collaboratory where we can host discussions?
• Mini topo maps?
• Easy-to-use interface?

24
Serendipity?

• Coincidence of DataMIL and The National Map
• Past Present Partnerships
• Tremendous Synergy and Focus

25
