Battlestar Galactica

"There are those who believe... that life here... began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis... Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive... somewhere beyond the heavens."

Our Mission StatementHagTag is an informal group of GIS leaders from local government units in Hamilton County who strive to enhance the value of geographic information in Hamilton County by developing methods, procedures, and workflows to share, maintain, and use the geographic information in more efficient and mutually beneficial ways.

March 8, 2006 2006 Indiana GIS Conference 16

Our Mission Statement(slide 2)

We believe expanding the use of geographic information increases its accuracy and value. We also believe a better understanding of each community’s uses of geographic information will benefit all of the communities involved.

March 8, 2006 2006 Indiana GIS Conference 17

Our Mission Statement(slide 3)

We will not set any policies, but will instead develop ways to make policies set by others work more efficiently. We may make recommendations to those in our respective local governments who make policies. We will work by consensus.
