Does your state have a webpage for geospatial services like this?
I continue to be impressed by what my state (ok commonwealth) does with GIS. MassGIS is the Commonwealth’s Office of Geographic and Environmental Information and like many other offices that have statewide GIS responsibilities is underfunded, under-respected and doesn’t get out much. Still, they offer some great resources.
I just found this page today: MassGIS Geospatial Web Services Homepage. It’s a developer guide for the Web services that MassGIS provides:
This is the home of the MassGIS geospatial web services project. This site contains information on accessing, using and developing against MassGIS-maintained “Web Map Service” and “Web Feature Service” services. Anyone may use these services.
...
This site is a guide to using our OGC web services to:Fetch maps from our Web Map Server and display them on your website or in your application.
Perform spatial queries against our Web Feature Server and display the results on your website or in your application.
Build web-based applications which show maps and query them.
Integrate these web-based applications into your website.In short, this site is a central location for learning how to make on-line maps about Massachusetts.
