Understanding GIS History & Legislation 
Knowledge of both GIS and Cybersecurity
“depend on the availability, quality, and compatibility of digital geographic data” and opportunities existed to save billions of dollars wasted on redundant collection of frequently undocumented and hard-to-find geospatial data stored in incompatible formats, President Clinton signed Executive Order in This instructed the Federal Geographic Data Committee to guide creation of a National Spatial Data Infrastructure to “promote geospatial data sharing throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and academia.” In response, the committee created the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse and guided federal and state agencies in documenting, publishing, and sharing their specialized GIS datasets as “themes” stored on common Internet clearinghouse websites for other agencies and the public to browse, find, download, and reuse as base maps for integrating with their own location-referenced data.
