                                <p class='title_3'>NASA Panel -- NSDI: Tower of Babel Aspiring to
                                Lingua Franca</p>
                                <p>Consistent means to share geographic data among all users
                                could produce significant savings for data collection and use
                                and enhance decision making. Executive Order 12906 calls for the
                                establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
                                defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to
                                promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of
                                government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic
                                community. <br />
                                The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of
                                effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related
                                to geographic information, make geographic data more accessible
                                to the public, increase the benefits of using available data,
                                and establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities,
                                tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data
                                availability. <br />
                                A panel of state, federal, academia and industry experts in
                                spatial data will lead a free-wheeling discussion regarding
                                survival in the spatial age with "data, data everywhere and yet
                                not enough to think." ....<br />
                                Please join us in brainstorming smarter ways for a precious
                                planet to do business.<br />
