Over 340 member organizations, began in 1994
Promotes accessibilityy to g
geoprocessing
p g tools

Accomplishments
Standardized terms: points, lines, and polygons
Created GML (Geography Markup Language), an open
source language for describing spatial data
Standards for how g

Wh T
Why Teach
h Open
O SSource GIS?
1. Teach fundamentals of spatial data
management and analysis rather than button
memorization
i ti
2. Becoming an increasingly necessary job skill
C
Companiesi with
ith existing
i ti GIS are using
i thi
this
software
Makes GIS marketable to smaller firms and non-
non
profits
3 Drives innovation
3.
Through sharing of knowledge & source code
4 Code is open and human-readable
