Waters Workgroup
Current Workgroup Activities• National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Stewardship Project• Indiana’s water data is part of the NHD• Pilot project focused on one Hamilton County Watershed.
Vendor used 2005 DEM and local hydro data to better define the local resolution NHD.
• IGIC working with USGS to identify a local steward

Elevation & Geodetic Control Workgroup
Current Workgroup Activities• Working with Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyor’s (ISPLS)
on the finishing touches to the Indiana Height Modernization Plan• Will be submitted to National Geodetic Survey in hopes of receiving
funding• The plan will be used to solicit support around the state for
improved heights from GPS• Benefit to citizens, government, and private companies• Help with Economic Development, decreased cost and increased
accuracy of surveying and mapping, precision farming, and construction.
WHAT IS HEIGHT MODERNIZATION?Height Modernization is a program in NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other new technologies to increase the accuracy of elevation measurements that comprise the vertical portion of the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). This system provides the foundation for positioning and navigation activities in the United States. It is the reference base for latitude, longitude, height (elevation), and distance between points on the Earth’s surface and defines the nation’s shoreline.

Streets and Addresses Workgroup
Address Integration Project –
IGIC is working with partners across the state to develop a process for local governments to feed their address data into a single statewide
repository.

Cad to GIS Workgroup
Current Workgroup Activities• Newly formed workgroup focused on
standards for CAD-GIS Integration

Orthophotography Workgroup
History• In 2004/2005, the Orthophotography Workgroup created the
specifications and selected the vendor for the 2005 Ortho Project
Current Workgroup Activities• Orthophotography Workgroup has began to meet again with
the goal of creating an ongoing Statewide Ortho Program• Two meetings so far • Created Draft Document – Potential product sets are
described6 Inch OrthosLidar PointsDigital Elevation Model (Lidar derived)Statewide 2 Foot ContoursOblique Aerial Photography

Legislative Committee
History• Worked with Senator David Ford and Rep Scott Reske to craft
the Indiana GIS Legislation. The committee helped educate on the need for this valuable legislation.
Current (Future) Committee Activities • Educate lawmakers on the benefits of GIS and the IndianaMap
• Advocate for permanent funding for the IndianaMap
• Communicate the need for an ongoing Orthophotography Program
Note: The Return on Investment (ROI) Study documentation hopefully will be a help in educating lawmakers.
Call for Participation on Committees and Workgroups
If you want to make a difference in Indiana
GIS,working on an IGIC
Committee or Workgroup is a great
way to start!- Many Committees meet by Conference Call, no need to drive to Indy

National States Geographic Info Council
NSGIC – Most if not all states are experiencing same issues as Indiana
Maryland – • Both State and locals have important role in centerline
maintenance. • Received letters from all counties saying they need imagery• 21 of 24 Counties have provided parcel data to stateWashington – • WaTrans is using FME to incorporate road centerline files from
Cities/Counties in Washington into a statewide road file.Mississippi – • Statewide Orthos• 2 Foot Contours statewideUtah – • $400,000 to rural counties for parcel mapping• Created Utah GIS Portal
