Developing Hawaii's Geospatial Implementation Plan (I-Plan) for Framework Data
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Author(s): Ron Salz

The Hawai`i Implementation Plan (I-Plan) is the first comprehensive review of the framework data layers as defined by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and expanded upon by the Hawai`i Geographic Information Coordinating Council (HIGICC). The Hawai`i I-Plan is a result of a series of meetings that identified statewide geospatial issues and information needs and reflects the voluntary collaboration of subject matter experts from government, education, private, and non-profit organizations, known as the Hawai`i Implementation Team (I-Team). The goals of the I-Plan include a statewide inventory of geospatial data, identification of current investments and the resources needed to complete the framework data layers, as well as satisfaction of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and FGDC requirements for competition for federally funded spatial data proposals. This paper will present the process, the product and the next steps in the geospatial future for the State of Hawai`i.
