About LouisianaMAP...

LouisianaMAP was developed through a partnership between the Louisiana Office of Electronic Services (OES) and the Louisiana GIS Council (LGISC) and facilitated through the LouisianaMAP Technology Innovation Fund grant awareded in March 2002.

The LouisianaMAP geospatial portal is a web-based, interactive mapping service that provides state and local government decision makers, academia, and the general public access to and dissemination of the geographic framework data. This portal is provided as a service for analysis of user supplied information in the context of the geographic framework data. The LouisianaMAP portal has been implemented in the Louisiana.gov state web-portal environment. This integration has required customized augmentation of the Louisiana.gov architecture with technology that specifically designed to support and distribute geographic information in a web-based environment. The initial release of the portal is scheduled for November 2003 with planned enhancements to support user needs that are identified in the Louisiana I-Team Plan.

Additional information may be obtained from the draft LouisianaMAP White Paper.
