Funding Local Government Geodata Operations Without Selling Data Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Bruce Joffe Many GIS-enabled local governments have a core GIS Group that manages the agency's geodata, maintains its updating and metadata, and develops useful applications. And what is the GIS Group's major concern? How to remain funded during these difficult budgetary times. Local government participants in the Open Data Consortium project have uncovered ten effective ways to support their geodata operations without having to sell public data as a commercial commodity. Come, hear about the lessons being learned from the ODC project and how you can participate.
