Meeting Minutes > June 2005
Date: June 22, 2005
Location: National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC)
In June 2005, representatives from federal and regional agencies
and local organizations gathered to discuss the need and potential
for a green infrastructure mapping system for the Washington DC
region. The meeting featured a presentation on the OASIS mapping
system for New York City [www.oasisnyc.net], a web-based, open
mapping system supported and maintained by over 30 federal, state,
and local agencies, private companies, academic institutions, and
nonprofit organizations.
The meeting participants resoundingly supported the development
of a public mapping and data sharing system for green infrastructure
information for DC. It was recommended that such a system: be collaborative,
with shared credit for the results; provide for open data sharing,
with appropriate metadata and contact information for available
data; and link to other DC mapping sites and integrate with existing
green and open space mapping efforts and systems in the region.
