Power Point Presentation

Abstract:

The State of Washington is one of many states actively participating in development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The Geospatial Framework is a key component of the NSDI that involves a collaborative approach to creating, maintaining, and providing broad access to commonly needed GIS data. These efforts span all levels of government as well as other types of organizations. This presentation will focus on what the Geospatial Framework is, where the concept came from, and what the State of Washington is doing to meet this fundamental need.
