The collaboration and coordination of many differing organizations comprise the heart of the Georgia Spatial Data Infrastructure (GaSDI). “Coordination ensures that these contributions - data, funding technology and people - meld smoothly, and encourages productive relationships among the partnerships.”
Specific GaSDI activities include creating business plans for framework development, establishing priorities, developing agreements and business practices that encourage participation, coordinating data discovery and access methods, developing consensus on standards, and providing outreach and education (Framework, Introduction and Guide, 1997).”
