State Model for Coordination of Geographic Information Technology

To better support interaction and coordination between all levels of government, NSGIC began to identify fundamental characteristics of effective statewide coordination of GIT. The end result was a listing of critical factors for measuring performance objectives and the criteria needed for an effective statewide GIT coordination program.
