Since We Said We Should, We Did

NSGIC President Learon Dalby has submitted a pair of related suggestions to the National IT Dialogue that we wrote about yesterday. Since good suggestions regarding the value of GIS tools for data visualization are already under discussion, Mr. Dalby has offered two suggestions on ways to make the best use of those tools for tracking stimulus funding:

• Location Schema - Enables Data Analysis and Visualization -- If we're going to track where stimulus funds are spent, let us do it right.
  
• Use Annual Imagery to Track Success (IFTN) -- We can help the people see exactly where and how their money has been spent.

A few words to the wise... There are many voices in this IT Dialogue. The servers are showing the strain; getting from idea to idea can be slow. But it is worth the wait to make your voice heard in an important discussion.

The first thing you should do is register and log in so that you can comment, and vote, on these ideas. Don't wait until after you have scanned the ideas; register now and join the dialogue.
