Foreword
The many natural disasters that occurred during 2005 provide a compelling reason why all members of the geospatial community must work together to build effective statewide spatial data infrastructures (SSDI) that serve and protect our citizens. Over the coming decade, diverse stakeholder groups will have to work closely together if we are to aggregate these SSDIs to complete the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Just as the federal government relies on individual states to participate in national programs, the states must rely on all levels of government, academia, utilities, the private sector and non-profit organizations to contribute to statewide programs.
Strategic planning is a critical element for articulating a shared vision, and for building the partnerships that are necessary for disparate organizations to work together on common goals. The key is to identify geospatial needs that are shared by many stakeholder groups. For instance, it is easy to envision that statewide orthoimagery acquired on a routine basis would be useful to almost all stakeholder
