Geographic Information Council (OGIC) was created by Executive Order of the
Governor and is comprised of State agency directors whose agencies have a
direct business need for geospatial datasets and geospatial services.
OGIC members also include representatives from local, Federal and tribal
agencies. OGIC is the ‘tip of the spear’ in a governance
model and high-level vision developed together by the GEO and CIO’s
offices in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oregon</st1:place></st1:State>.
This vision called navigatOR, its aim is to deliver more coordinated and
efficient government services, and reduce duplication through coordinated
geospatial investments across state agencies. The aim is to help every
state agency operate effectively as part of the State’s IT <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Enterprise</st1:place></st1:City>. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

geospatial data layers and services with a governance model that includes a
framework of committees that council OGIC. The governance model developed
by GEO includes more than a dozen consensus and volunteer-based data standard
groups called Framework Implementation Teams (FIT). The Policy Advisory
Committee (PAC) provides strategic planning, budgetary, and policy
development, and the GIS Program Leaders (GPL) serve as the technical advisors
to the </span></font><font size=2 color="#333399" face="Franklin Gothic Book"><span

color:#215868;background:yellow'>. Together these groups, with volunteer
participants from all levels of government, help create and deliver geospatial
datasets and services to every local, state, tribal and federal agency that
does business in Oregon. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book";color:#215868;
background:yellow'> The ELA combined with the state’s GIS standard
and OGIC-based governance model will encourage rapid growth of navigatOR.
The standards developed will eliminate the redundant development, storage, and
distribution, of all state owned geospatial datasets. Developing data and
services once and using them many times, for many different purposes, saves
taxpayer dollars and ensure transparent and consistent answers to questions and
problems state agencies face. Relieving agencies, at all levels of
government, from unnecessarily copying geospatial information greatly lessens
the burden on the state technology infrastructure. The result is clearer
communication by providing a single authoritative source for Framework
geospatial information.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

resource. Business users receiving benefit from navigatOR include public,
and local, regional, tribal, and federal government partners. These new
geospatial infrastructure and services are aimed at delivering better value,
illuminating redundancy, facilitating IT sustainability, and providing
transparency at all levels of government. A good example of these new
benefits is the Stimulus Tracker applications. These applications allow
the public and state budget analysts the ability to see where Federal and State
stimulus dollars are being spent allowing an unprecedented level of transparency
