NSGIC 05 - Ramona
I’ve heard about Ramona since I started attending NSGIC meetings in 2001. It’s a vision for a single online data inventory survey of GIS data. The idea is that with such a service, state coordinators would not need to repeated fill out surveys from different federal agencies and other interested parties regarding their data holdings. The app was very slick and a beta with about 10 states testing it is planned for the fall. I am also pleased to note that the programmer on the project (project funded by NOAA) is using MapServer for the maps.
