Dear Maps-l folks,

Please excuse cross postings.

I received this note last week when I inquired to Brett about the
possibility of speaking with the MAGERT Federal Spatial Information
discussion group about NARA and archiving of data in the National Map.

Please send any suggestions you may have regarding the webinar to me and
I will compile them and send on your thoughts to Brett.

Thank you,

Edith

Good Morning Everyone:

This group includes representatives from the Cartographic Users Advisory
Council, the Open Geospatial Consortium's Data Preservation Working
Group and the Map and Geography Round Table of ALA. Most, if not all of
you, have suggested a webinar of all the parties interested in the
long-term preservation and access of geographic information both digital
map and digital data.

I'm beginning thoughts about getting NARA and perhaps LC to sponsor a
webinar. One that would also include federal government GIS
practitioners. What would each of you like to raise as issues for
presentation and focus? What would you want as take aways? Would a
structure of a few short presentation and open discussion be the most
appropriate format?

I realize this is a very sketchy beginning but I'm looking forward to
culling your ideas together and coming back with a more refined plan.

Best,

Brett
