Geospatial information technologies offer governments valuable support in providing effective and efficient services for citizens. Federal, state, and local governments invest billions of dollars each year in the collection, management, and maintenance of geospatial data. Successful multi-jurisdictional programs offer successful examples and lessons for those seeking to institute similar efforts. The Geospatial Bluebook begins the process of identifying practices that have served other communities; the intended goal is to offer a set of national implementation specifications for communities that choose to adopt those specifications.
GIS for the Nation means GIS for your neighborhood, your town, your state, and your country. The goal is to build an interoperable system that leverages standards and best practices to develop geospatial data infrastructure. The emphasis is on local data needs and local practices, along with data integration at State/Regional, and ultimately National levels.
More information can be found at the Geospatial One-Stop "GIS for the Nation" Community located at GOS. If you click on the Communities tab you will see GIS for the Nation in the list of Communities on the left hand side of the page.
