Workgroups
The Strategic Plan in 2012 identified several key needs and goals for a statewide geospatial/GIS program. The following working groups were identified to support these goals. Most of the work assigned to the groups has been completed. The Strategic plan was reviewed in 2018 to affirm that these key needs are still important to the statewide geospatial/GIS program. These work groups and standards, along with the strategic plan, are revisited promptly, and the work groups are reformed to address any needed changes.
NebraskaMAP.gov Workgroup
The NebraskaMAP workgroup is about data sharing – "Build it once, share it many." Currently, NebraskaMAP is on its 3rd revision and serves as a geospatial clearinghouse, providing access to over 100 data layers for Nebraska. NebraskaMAP is a multi-use enterprise platform. This will further help users gain access to authoritative and peer-reviewed NESDI data, maps, applications, and GIS web services. This working group also provides data sharing guidelines and standards.
