levels of government and facilitate the management of the Commonwealth's
natural, human, cultural, and economic resources;

efforts, to coordinate the various activities in geographic information systems,
and to share geographic information system resources and expertise to
maximize the Commonwealth's investment in geographic information systems
technology;
(4) Considerations of cost and the need for the transfer of information among
agencies of state government in the most timely and useful form possible
require a uniform policy and coordinated approach for the use of geographic
