DC GIS Strategic Plan
The plan is the result of an open and participatory process. It embodies input from the District of Columbia Geographic Information System (DC GIS) stakeholder community of interest, which includes a diverse population of participants from both inside and outside of DC government. The main emphasis of this plan is on the long-term direction of the DC GIS Program, for both activities and governance.
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in DC is pervasive with a history of collaboration on developing and sharing geospatial data. Fundamentally, it answers the question “where is it?” DC GIS started with a voluntary willingness to share basemap data across departments, and grew to the coordinated sharing of over 200 data layers across a broad and diverse federation of departments. As a technology, GIS empowers policymakers and implementers with data and application tools that support better decision-making and performance.
