be accomplished through unification, data
sharing, and using GIS in new ways.
- Technology and infrastructure
necessary to achieve an Internet GIS for
the Arctic.

Working Group Questions:
2) What is the expected pay-off in terms of
research and broader societal benefits?
(i.e., data sharing, collaboration,
reducing redundancies, interdisciplinary
linkages, new types of analyses, synthesis,
data-model comparisons, establishing
temporal baselines, logistics planning,
outreach, education, guidance for PI?s that
wish to learn and use GIS, etc.)
3) What components of an improved,
internet-based GIS are needed for Arctic
research?
- Key framework layers (i.e.,
interdisciplinary types of geo-referenced
datasets such as DEM?s and physical,
biological, climatologic, and cultural
layers)
- Internet-based GIS capabilities
(i.e., data-sharing, map display, GIS
analysis, metadata, information
resources, etc.)
- Specific internet-based GIS tools and
applications
