Chris Tucker on Where.gov

Chris Tucker is one the most animated people when it comes to discussing geospatial and he does it again in a brief, articulate piece in Federal Computer Week titled, Where is Where.gov?. His vision:

From the lowliest citizen to the president of the United States, we should all be empowered to fire up an application I will call Where.gov. At that portal, you could draw a bounding box on a map, declare a slice of time and instantaneously discover everything our government knows about that place. And we should be able to marshal that data instantaneously to support our needs.

We are looking forward to catching up with Tucker at the Location Intelligence Conference the week after next, where he’ll be on a panel titled: “The Intelligence Community Meets LI - What the Intelligence Community can Teach Commercial Geospatial Companies about Location Intelligence and Vice Versa.”
