Iowa GIS Inventory - RAMONA

Ramona is produced by the National States' Geographic Information Council (NSGIC) as a tool for states and their partners. Its primary purpose is to track the status of GIS in US state and local government to aid the planning and building of Spatial Data Infrastructures. Ramona is designed to work in concert with Geospatial One-Stop. The Health Committee is using this as a tool to catalog Health GIS data in the state so that we can build an inventory of geospatial health data in Iowa.
