The Community Update Program was jointly announced by Esri and Geographic Data Technology at the July 1999 Esri User Conference in San Diego. This session will give an update of the resulting work with state and local government agencies required to build the organizational and technical infrastructure for the program. The presentation will demonstrate the new browser-based technologies currently being used by communities to update and access their local geographic database. It will also summarize the opportunities and challenges ahead for realizing the promise of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure.
