Authors: Taylor Keen

In 2012 an Enterprise Campus GIS Initiative began at UMD. Through partnerships with various administrative and academic departments, a Campus GIS Steering Committee was created and charged to develop a Strategic Implementation Plan to build a centralized repository of spatial data resources and webmapping system with the goal of ensuring spatial information is derived from a common basemap, readily accessible, and managed sustainably to enable integration with other campus information systems.
