by Susan on May 5, 2009

In an interview in Government Technology,  ESRI founder Jack Dangermond talked about the future of GIS.  He had this to say about FedStat, a prototype application  for tracking government funding:

It’s a whole new frontier for GIS. It’s taking the power of spatial visualization and analytics, and opening government up so legislatures, administrators and virtually everyone can see, understand and openly direct government into the future…It’s almost like another step in the evolution of democracy itself.
