Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Framework Data Project
This is a multi-sectoral partnership that proposes developing a framework for geospatial data essential for research, management, and business operations in the Great Lakes region. As a starting point, the "Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Framework Data Project" will integrate, afford discovery of, and begin to provide for the long-term storage, maintenance, and flexible accessibility of a number of "framework data" layers. These include shoreline, political units, transportation features, watersheds, hydrography, conservation management areas, orthoimagery, and elevation (hypsographic and topometric) data. The project is designed to provide a scalable system with respect to new participants, data types, geographies, and data uses, and to augment the growing knowledge base by documenting all procedures, policies, and lessons learned, and making these widely available.
