Subject: [nsgic_state_rep_list] FW: White Paper on Spatial
Infrastructures

Greetings, everyone!

I am pleased to provide you with a link to the most recent addition to GITA's Geospatial Dimensions of Critical Infrastructure and Emergency Response White Paper Series: "Spatial Infrastructures: A Better Understanding of Infrastructure Interdependencies Through Spatial Information." This paper, authored by John Moeller, Northrup-Grumman/TASC, Chantilly, VA, and Dan Shannon, TELUS Communications, Edmonton, Alberta, is intended to "help readers understand spatial data infrastructures, their value in managing, using, and sharing spatial information and services, and how they can assist citizens and their corporate, academic and government institutions in addressing some of the vital issues confronting our nation and its communities."

As with the previous White Paper on "Interdependencies of Infrastructure" issued in late December, we are seeking comments and responses from a broad spectrum of professionals within the geospatial industry, as well as from practitioners in other fields beyond geospatial. Please feel free to circulate this paper to your colleagues, members, constituents and anyone who has an interest in the application of geospatial technology to our infrastructure problems. We welcome any feedback and proposals to collaborate in this area.

I hope your New Year has gotten off to a great start - all indications are that it will be a very interesting and challenging period for us all!

Best regards,
