I earnestly believe that FOSS tools are available for adoption in local government. Critical is how to integrated them to a provincial/city wide government IT infrastructure. In the Philippines, geospatial technologies are often used in: property/parcel tax mapping zoning development planning However, in most cases these "domains" are "loosely" integrated. Sometimes the GIS in the planning division doesn't "communicate" with the assesor's office in terms of data management. What we are looking for are stories that integrate FOSS GEO tools in the overall IT infrastructure. I know some of the strategies maybe "institutional" rather than technical in nature. What technologies do we need (dbase managment, server, desktop apps)? How do we provide capacity to local government staff? How do we integrate the data into planning? Any ideas? -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
