USING INTRANET/INTERNET TECHNOLOGY TO REPLACE SNEAKER NET IN REGIONAL/ENTERPRISE GIS

摘要

The Nassau County GIS has recently completed thernimplementation of regional data sharing using an intranet connecting threerntowns, two cities, and three villages to the County’s network. Theserngovernments encompass a 300 square mile area, with a population of 1.3rnmillion. The system was facilitated by a Technology grant from the New YorkrnState Archives and Records Administration (SARA). The Pilot ElectronicrnGovernment Initiative (PEGI) grants are designed to develop model approachesrnfor counties or other regional governments to provide their constituent townsrnand villages with the capability to engage in electronic commerce with citizensrnand other government agencies over the Internet and NYT, a state-operatedrntelecommunications network for government use. The PEGI grant is providingrnNassau County with a secure FTP site for electronic distribution of data. Thernimplementation will include: a Calendar of Upcoming Events, Documentationrn(User Guide, Data Dictionary, and Metadata): Directory (key contactrnindividuals); and Support (problem reporting for hardware, software, and datarnincluding the ability to attach images of problem areas). The Support Sectionrnalso includes a Query Log enabling users to review previously logged problems,rnSystem News, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s), a script library, and arncomments area. Later phases of the project will allow multi-participant partnersrnto maintain data that is their area of responsibility, through the intranet. Thisrnwill be implemented in phases as data maintenance standards are implemented,rntraining is accomplished, and the ability of the multi-participant to maintain therndata has been demonstrated. The e-commerce phase will also provide access tornCivil Service Forms and allow their submission via the internet.
