8 GIS Support from IU (UITS & Indiana Geological Survey) Enhance the quality of geospatial technology research, instruction and administration at Indiana University Maintain enterprise geodatabase and map publishing services for IU and the general public Serve as liaisons between IU and data partners to promote the needs of both IU and the residents of Indiana GIS Resources at IU Indiana Geological Survey – first GIS services from IU

9 ISDP (Indiana Spatial Data Portal) Today Archives large geospatial datasets –Provides data integrity (data QC) –Valuable historical record for Indiana Supports IndianaMap Project –Enterprise Oracle geodatabase (ArcSDE) 17 TeraBytes of data stored!!!!!

13 IndianaMap Supports hundreds of local, regional and statewide projects each year 34:1 ROI

14 How is INMAP used? Application connections Mapping Publishing Services

15 What’s Coming Next At least 48 counties committed to share their data with IndianaMap via IDHS grants Serves multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional needs to share addresses and centerlines Everyone benefits

16 Opportunities and Challenges - General Computer hardware and data storage more affordable Internet a computing platform System complexity increasing MainframeMinicomputerWorkstationPCMobile Devices

20 Whatever the future holds, GIS ought to have a strong role Indiana would benefit from funding for a sustainable and robust GIS service –New orthophotography –Maintain and manage IndianaMap –Support statewide GIS coordination and education –Planning, emergency preparedness/response Is the Stimulus Plan an opportunity for GIS technology to serve society and our State?

21 Next Statewide Ortho Project? IGIC Workgroup Discussing statewide 6 inch, 4 band One quarter of state/year on repeating basis How much data? –3 band RGB 2.7 x larger than 2005 geotiffs –12.3 TB total RGB/4 years 3.1+ TB/year –16.4 TB total RGB+IR/4 years 4.1+ TB/year

22 Challenges for Indiana/Nation/Technology Common good and local needs Build GIS infrastructure with physical infrastructure Mobile GIS (your cell phone as a GPS) Temporal GIS Balancing public good, privacy, utility We’re all downstream of someplace… knowing what’s going on upstream can help!
