Sample text

Military installations around the world, just like city, town, and county governments, use geospatial data assets for many purposes, including emergency response, environmental management, facility and infrastructure management and planning, homeland defense, public safety, and the provision of health care and other services. For example, geospatial data and associated attributed information about road and building locations and conditions and building functions are used to help dispatch appropriate fire and other resource vehicles during a fire or other emergency.

S. federal government policy. 23 not only stress the need for coordinating, sharing, and integrating geospatial data assets across DoD and other federal agencies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of agency activities, they require it. In July 2004, within the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Installations and Environment Business Transformation (DUSD/I&E (Business Transformation)) directorate, a new organization, the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) Office, was created to help facilitate the sharing and integration of I&E geospatial data assets.

S. government functions, such as homeland security, environmental management, disaster preparedness and response, and land-use planning. And at the local level, military installations share their I&E geospatial data assets with adjacent local governments to help with joint infrastructure, utility, safety, and natural resource management and for emergency planning and response. Finally, a fourth trend is the evolution of geospatial applications toward web-based spatial applications, using more real-time information, and integrating and sharing more detailed information from diverse sources.
