In October 2006, Michael Baker, Inc. published the California Geospatial Data Draft Plan report in partnership with the California Geographic Information Association (CGIA), the California GIS Council, USGS, and the California Resources Agency. The report was the key deliverable for an institution building CAP Grant Program, culminating a six-month process of interactive meetings in regional settings and an interactive web survey. The report identifies core and California-centric geospatial framework data and presents an implementation strategy. The report contains both short-term and long-term implementation actions that the California GIS Council, CGIA, and Regional Groups can take to move this critical initiative forward.
