Where have we been? Creating Data Creating Data Connecting to Data Viewing Data Viewing Data Viewing Data

Where Are We Now? Creating Sharing Data Creating Sharing Data Passively Creating Sharing Data Passively Creating Sharing Data Millions of Sensors Passively Creating Sharing Data

Are we asking the questions? Millions of Sensors Passively Creating Sharing Data Building (Maintaining) a SDI will require new ways of thinking That’s ok We should learn from those that are doing it right now We have the technology to not only gather data, but share knowledge quickly

Where Are We Now? How will government work with this?
