OhioView is a grassroots organization formed in 1996 to make satellite data more accessible and to fill the knowledge gap in education about the the uses of data. Represented by ten Ohio universities and partners, including NASA Glenn Research Center, the United States Geological Survey EROS Data Center, OAI, and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK), we have adopted the following goals:
- Create a prototype of a national public access system for geospatial data from the US Government
- Promote the use of satellite and geospatial data in education
- Facilitate the use of satellite data to monitor a wide variety of environmental
issues, such as flood risk, crop health, urban sprawl, and loss of wetlands.
- Facilitate cooperation between education, and State and local governments
in remote sensing and digital mapping through cost sharing.
- Facilitate research and development in the applications of satellite data.
- Establish "virtual" centers for satellite and geospatial data
synthesis and dissemination.
- Establish a high-speed network to provide satellite data to the public,
educators, scientists, and community leaders in Ohio and the Nation.
- Leverage existing State and Federal resources.
