USGDR Calls GIS Departments to Work Together08/09/2010 |
| The United States GIS Data Repository (USGDR) is on a mission of Making Public Data Public and needs federal, state, and local GIS departments to join in. Kyle Souza, a Director at the USGDR, explains that the government generates a large amount of vector data, but lacks the resources to distribute their data. This is where the USGDR comes in; this non-profit organisation is not in this for the money but to help both the data creators and the data users. |
|
Partnering with those who manage data, to help them cut costs, while at the same time making it easy for end-users to freely access this data the intermediating position is found.
The mission of the USGDR is accomplished by making an arrangement with the data author/manager (such as a state GIS department) that allows that organisation to upload their GIS data to USGDR servers. Anyone who visits to the USGDR website (can then download the data for free.
The USGDR is looking for federal, state, and local GIS departments that want to save money without compromising quality. By pooling the resources of many organizations everyone can save money, especially those looking to download data. If you are interested in partnering with the USGDR please email info@usgdr.org.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
