Chuck asked what kind of support the County representatives would be interested in. They responded that from the support end there were always many assembling data layers which have been met by the MARS server. One of the main ways to lend support would be to volunteer some people to do some of the tasks that need to be done. It was suggested that everyone get together to develop a work plan and coordinate a formal plan to develop and maintain the data. Steve Whitney said that they try to use standards that the users are using.
Most tools can access different types of data.
There are two main types of tools - DBase and AutoCad. He stated that the County uses both in their operation. One of the problems is the data format. We maintain a variety of data. We would like to eliminate that as much as possible.
