About IGIC The Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead the effective application of geographic information in Indiana for an improved quality of life. IGIC is a nonprofit membership organization of GIS users, professionals and educators. Administered by an elected board of directors, IGIC is recognized as the official statewide coordinating body for Indiana geographic information.
Our membership includes individuals from all levels of government, private industry, educational institutions and other nonprofit groups. Through our membership and elected board of directors, we strive to make a real difference in Indiana GIS - both for those who use it and those who benefit from it. IGIC Directors’ represent over a dozen sectors. Please feel free to contact one of the Board members who represents your sector!
Morning session will be geared to Local Elected Officials
In January 2006, IGIC established a general membership. Membership helps support the organization. Members gain several benefits, including professional development and discounts on IGIC resources. IGIC has more than 300 general members and is growing strong!
IGIC’s web site contains a wealth of information. From projects to policies, tools to news, nearly early everything IGIC does is posted on our web site.
From small community to statewide; data discovery, downloads, and on-line viewing; IGIC’s web site is the portal to geographic information in Indiana. Bookmark IGIC’s web site for your one-stop shop to community geographic information across the state.
We regularly pursue funding for and implement special projects that further the development of the IndianaMap. Here are this year’s projects (so far).

In 2002, IGIC defined its vision for the IndianaMap. Since that time, IGIC has taken the lead on making that vision a reality. With one base map for Indiana, we can save lives and save money. SAVING LIVES: When a high-quality base map is used by all, emergency responders can rely on consistent information. When an emergency happens, seconds matter and information is crucial. When a local Hazardous Materials Team provides mutual aid to a surrounding county they need to know where the emergency is, and may need to know things like where low-lying terrain is where heavy gases might flow, and whether there are homes in that area. These are all features of the base map. And when the Department of Education uses that same base map to map schools (example of leveraging other data), that emergency responder then has access to accurate information on places that may need evacuation. When it comes to protecting Hoosiers, a consistent source of geographic information should be available to all… local responders, state police, FEMA relief teams, non-governmental organizations like the Red Cross, and citizens. SAVING MONEY: When we create and maintain a high-quality, multi-use base map, Hoosier tax payers win. A multi-purpose GIS base map is an effective way to leverage the value of GIS across the state. When maintained strategically, bulk purchasing, streamlined management, and reduced duplication save real money. Multi-use requirements are met when data are developed in partnership with local, state, and federal government; university; private sector; surveyors; and regional planning organizations.
The IndianaMap is a portfolio of projects. It’s projects include framework data for a statewide base map; tools to access and use geographic information; and numerous educational opportunities to communicate the value of the IndianaMap, as well as policy, management and technical issues.
These are the data layers associated with the base map – we call them “framework data.”
IGIC provides links to other valuable GIS resources. For example, the Indiana Geological Survey is a wealthy resource for downloadable statewide GIS data. All IGS data can also be found via the IndianaMap Data Library.
New technologies are quickly changing the way GIS works. IGIC partners with educational and research institutions to stay abreast of leading-edge developments. In Indiana, framework data layers are being made accessible to GIS professionals through web-streaming technology called Web Map Services (WMS). The IndianaMap Map Services are intended for professional users for use in GIS applications. It is hosted by the Indiana Geological Survey. From the web site, you can view each of the map services Using GIS software that support WMS data streaming, users can add the web site address (the URL) for the service Users can then select the framework data service (with the prefix “FW”), and Start using the data within their own desk top GIS application. With WMS, GIS users can access current data directly from the source. Web Map Services are particularly beneficial for data sets that are very large (too big to put on a standard computer hard drive) and data sets that change often.

IndianaMap Q & A
Question 1 Is IGIC and the GIO meeting the needs of all levels of government to include counties, cities, and towns?
Question 2 Do you use the current IndianaMap (portal, UITS, data downloads, etc.)? How do you use it? How often do you use it? What do you use the most often?
Question 3 How will you use the four statewide data layers (parcels, road centerlines, address points, and boundaries)?
Question 4 How do you envision the Broadband Mapping project impacting you - either positively or negatively?
Question 5
Statewide Ortho Program
Current funding allows for statewide 50 cm (18”) or 60 cm (2’) pixel resolution
Would this meet your needs?
Would you be willing to buy-up to 30 cm (1’) or 15 cm (6-inch) resolution?
Would you require the data in SPE/SPW US Survey Feet or would UTM-16 Meters work?
Question 6 How important is LIDAR to you? How are you using it or how would you use it?

The 3rd annual IGIC Local Government GIS Coordinato more
The 3rd annual IGIC Local Government GIS Coordinator Forum held on September 25, 2009 in Indianapolis Indiana. These slides are from the presentations made by IGIC's Executive Director, President, and others. The forum produced more questions than we had time for. IGIC members and volunteers have writing responses to all questions submitted that weren't addressed at the Forum, those answers along with a summary of the 2 breakout sessions are posted in separate .pdf documents. less
