The document discusses Arkansas' statewide GIS data program called GeoStor. It notes that GeoStor was established in 2003 to coordinate GIS data development and distribution across state, local, and federal government agencies to reduce duplication. GeoStor currently hosts over 200 datasets that are freely accessible online through various download and web service methods. The document highlights that Arkansas GIS data is accessed globally and notes the economic and disaster response benefits of openly sharing standardized GIS data. It also discusses opportunities to improve data quality through increased sharing with other systems like OpenStreetMap.

The shockwaves propagated efficiently through midwestern bedrock. Residents as far away asPittsburghandNorfolkwere awakened by intense shaking.Church bells were reported to ring as far as Boston, Massachusetts andYork, Ontario (now Toronto)and sidewalks were reported to have been cracked and broken inWashington, D.C.There were also reports of toppled chimneys inMaine.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_New_Madrid_earthquake
- 22. Why Publish? Disaster will strike Eliza Bryanin New Madrid,Territory of Missouri, wrote the following eyewitness account in March, 1812.On the 16th of December, 1811, about two o'clock, A.M., we were visited by a violent shock of an earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise resembling loud but distant thunder, but more hoarse and vibrating, which was followed in a few minutes by the complete saturation of the atmosphere, with sulphurious vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the affrighted inhabitants running to and fro, not knowing where to go, or what to do - the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species - the cracking of trees falling, and the roaring of the Mississippi - the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing as is supposed, to an irruption in its bed -- formed a scene truly horrible.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_New_Madrid_earthquake

- 26. Why Publish? Ubiquitous useWe touch .1% of N and thats generous. Our desire is to have high quality ARGIS data used by everyone that makes decisions. This means we need helpreaching the other .99% of N.Good at pushing out!!!Need Feedback LoopFlagging SystemKnowing about user changes ineach system would make for better data.

- 31. Better DataQuestions? How do we load good data into OSM for the state of Arkansas?
- 32. Not alienate current contributors?
- 33. Publish (flag) changes from each system?1. We are interested in helping make OSM better, but dont want to mess it up.2. We also want to work toward a sustainable solution that can be integrate within our workflow.21
