Coordinated Cooperative Geospatial Data Activities

In 2006, District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer and USGS signed a memorandum of understanding that states: “The USGS, through the DC geographic information coordinating body, agree to jointly develop a DC geographic information strategic business and data development plan.” Per that agreement, the District of Columbia GIS program and the DC GIS Steering Committee (DC GISSC) will update/replace its strategic plan and business plans following the Fifty States Initiative Guide produced by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC).  In particular, DC GIS intends to leverage the planning process to achieve these goals:

• Find champions in the District’s new political and executive leadership.
• Work with those new champions to identify sustainable funding for the DC GIS program.
• Reach beyond the District government to new partners in the federal government, academia, and relevant non-profits.
• Demonstrate the effectiveness of NSDI including The National Map and Geospatial One Stop initiatives.
