New York StateGIS Data Sharing Cooperative
Why The Cooperative?• Temporary GIS Council
recommended that data sharing be improved
• Technology Policy 96-18 charged Coordinating Body with developing policy to allow transfer of digital data at minimum or no cost
• Assigned to Data Coordination Work Group
Issues• Virtually no sharing of GIS data in NYS
– Fiefdoms (DOT, ORPS)– Fear of job loss (knowledge is power)
• Little trust between state agencies
• Virtually no trust between state agencies and county/municipal governments
• Fear of data being “stolen” by private sector
Issues (cont.)
• No consistent mechanism to all data sharing - various licensing agreements required to acquire data
• Huge conflict over the issue of data being free or for fee – major data producers at DOT and ORPS
charge significant amounts for data
• Little knowledge of who had what data• Little knowledge of who to contact to get
data or ask questions about it
