The ICI Society was recently featured on the GIS Chat Podcast, hosted by Jazzmen Wilson, to discuss the critical role of data stewardship, data accuracy, and collaboration in British Columbia’s geospatial community.
During the conversation, ICI Society shares insights into the Society’s origins, its mandate to support authoritative geospatial data, and the ongoing work required to ensure that critical datasets remain accurate, reliable, and accessible to members and stakeholders across the province.
The discussion also explores:
- The history and evolution of ICI Society
- The importance of authoritative geospatial data
- Maintaining and stewarding large-scale datasets
- Supporting the implementation of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911)
- Current initiatives and future projects at the Society
- The value of collaboration in strengthening British Columbia’s geospatial data ecosystem
Authoritative location-based data plays an essential role in supporting emergency services, infrastructure planning, government operations, and informed decision-making. As the demand for accurate and timely geospatial information continues to grow, data stewardship remains a foundational component of ensuring data quality and reliability.
We would like to thank Jazzmen Wilson and GIS Chat for the opportunity to discuss the important work being carried out by the Society and the broader value of maintaining trusted geospatial data resources.
