Feldman on “How to Fix the GIS Data Mess”
Jonathan Feldman is stepping up to tell us how: he details what the feds, state and local, education, and private sector must do. He doesn’t call out the public to do anything (ironic after the last few days I had at LI talking about crowdsourcing!) but does acknowledge near the end of his article that not all data will be collected by professionals. While there’s nothing earthshattering to our community here, he ties the issues together nicely.
Be sure to read the comments, which are eloquent if anonymous. (They’d have far more stature if they were not anonymous, in my opinion.) There’s only a silly bio on Feldman attached to the article (why?) but I found this one on another article: “Jonathan Feldman is an InformationWeek Analytics contributor who works with IT governance in North Carolina.”
