North Carolina Geospatial portal - NC OneMap

n 2003 the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council (GICC) adopted this comprehensive initiative in partnership with county, municipal, state, and federal data providers. The NC OneMap Program promotes a vision for geospatial data standards; data currency, maintenance, and accessibility; data documentation (i.e. metadata); and a statewide GIS inventory. Thirty-seven priority data themes were selected as the initial focus.

Protocols for bringing data content together from local, state, and federal sources with consistent standards are being explored, as are infrastructure policies. A formal NC OneMap implementation plan was adopted by the GICC in 2003. It formed the basis for budgetary requests to the North Carolina General Assembly in 2007, and the subsequent development of the “State Geographic Information/Consolidation Implementation Plan” that was submitted to the General Assembly in December 2008. The “State Geographic Information/Consolidation Implementation Plan” was adopted as part of the FY09-10 budget bill in August 2009.
