Spatial Data Management

Organizations (i.e. Government Councils) have information/data which characterizes a specific area or region and need that information organized and up to date.  Spatial data is found in all shapes, forms and fashions, so often times the need is for someone to manage the information that exists.

Spatial Data Acquisition/Analysis

Both public and private sector worlds are beginning to understand the vast amount of insight that can be gained from spatial analysis of the world around us.  In its simplest terms, all things are entities possessing a spatial reference and attributes/characteristics that describe them.  As we continue to manage that information within geographic information systems, we continue to make better policy, development and business decisions.

Spatial Data Dissemination

A few years ago, the United States Minerals Management Service began cooperatives with many coastal states.  On a state-by-state basis they hoped to establish extensive geologic databases for the coastal zone and South Carolina sought to monitor offshore sand resources. Most importantly the information was to be easily accessible and understandable such that the necessary people can use it when making important decisions about the future of our coastlines.

Virtual Community Visualization

Technology now allows us to build computer models of real-world places. In so doing, when we are faced with choices within our community about where and how to build, we can analyze the options using our computer model.  Using the computer we can calculate potential positive and negative impacts of all kinds.  In short, you can examine your choices in the computer before actually implementing them in the real world.  The ability to examine different scenarios and learn of their possible positive and negative impacts has extraordinary implications.
