There are two main goals for this project. The first is to identify the processes, procedures and tools necessary for increased local participation in the Michigan Geographic Framework (MGF) program. The second is to promote the benefits of the collaboration for all levels of government. Specifically, this grant will be used to perform the following activities:

• Survey the MGF user community
• Categorize the user community into capability groups
• Identify requirements for interfacing between the MGF and each group
• Create design plans, processes and procedures to standardize distribution of MGF changes

The findings from the research done during this agreement period will directly feed the development of the tools and procedures in new MGF editing environment.
