Quotes from State GIS Coordinators
Some quotes from the State of the States Panel at NEGIS 2006
“We serve up the data via Open GIS standards for anyone who’s not using ESRI.”
Dan Walters, State of Maine (Alas, that’s quite correct. He did note that many towns in his state are in fact selecting other solutions.)
“Data is all that really matters.”
Christian Jacqz, Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Indeed!)
“In our state Data Mapper we call the data layers ‘themes’ with apologies to xxx.”
Fay Rubin, State of NH (Can you fill in the blank? Why appologies? Does someone have a copyright on that term?)
“We use data standards we blantanly stole from MassGIS.”
John Stachelhaus, State of Rhode Island (“Only please to call it ‘research’!)
