Virtual Alabama May Grow into Virtual USA

FCW reports on the effort, currently being discussed by several southern states. The idea is to allow states to share their own data across jurisdictions no matter their platform. As discussion get going David Boyd, director of DHS Science and Technology’s Command, Control and Interoperability Division reports technology is not the issue, it’s getting the players on the same page.

The whole article sounds like every OGC conversation I ever heard. I guess it’s good to see progress, but the term standards is not part of the current reporting. That said, I suspect it’s in the mix.

Virtual Alabama is built on Google Earth Enterprise; the technology for the pilot of gulf coast states was not detailed.
