- Location can be used as the central organizing principle for data in multiple databases

- Most government data relates to either a location, OR an individual / entity that has an address location

AGRC Role in Southwest Partnership

• Provide leadership for GIS data accessibility, IMS applications, and potential options for sequestration.

• Provide expertise to integrate data horizontally across states and vertically to be coincident with other data sets.

• Coordinate with the WG GIC and state partners to implement data standards and access and viewing protocols.

DOE Regional CarbonSequestration Partnerships

Solicitation Language: “Information gathering during the characterization phase shall be achieved in a relational database and geographic information system (GIS). The GIS is essential to analyzing the costs of transport, concentration of sources, capacity of sinks, and the creation of regional carbon accounting methods/protocols.”
