What is DataMIL?

DataMIL = Data Mapping and Integration Laboratory

•Interactive Mapping Web Site•NSDI Metadata Clearinghouse•Public Feedback Mechanism •Federal, State, and Local Partnerships•Released at Delaware GIS Conference, April 18, 2002

DataMIL - Primary Objectives

• Combine state (Delaware) and federal (USGS) geographic data to create a continuously maintained, up-to-date, public-domain database

• Allow online access for the general public, academia, and state and federal agencies in the form of digital GIS data, online images, hard-copy maps, and database attribute information

• Optimize data storage, maintenance, accessibility, and archival procedures (distributed database)
