The General Assembly finds that the coordination of the use and sharing of data and information among all levels of government is essential to the efficient and smooth provision of government services to the people of the State. It is the intent of this subchapter to:
(1) Ensure that geospatial data are maintained and published in such a manner that they are readily available to all appropriate data users to support state and local government functions;
(2) Promote the use and sharing of geospatial data and of geographic information system software and tools by state agencies and local governments;
(3) Establish standards for the appropriate publication of geospatial data and metadata; and
(4) Provide for a coordinated community of geospatial data providers and geospatial data users in Delaware.
