The following is a summary of the monthly reports submitted by Chris Dintaman and Denver Harper on behalf of Dr. John Steinmetz and the other contributors to the IndianaMap Viewer.

Updated Map Layers:
The four layers that provide county-provided framework data (including address points, street centerlines, land parcels, and governmental boundaries) have been updated. The layers were compiled from data maintained by various county agencies in Indiana, as part of the IndianaMap Data Sharing Initiative between Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC), Indiana Office of Technology (IOT), Indiana Geographic Information Office (GIO), Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS), Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) and participating Indiana counties.

- The layers named "Address Points (IDHS)" and "Street Centerlines (IDHS)" can be found in the following folder: INFRASTRUCTURE > Roads.

- The layers named "Land Parcels (IDHS)" and "Government Boundaries (IDHS)" can be found in the following folder: DEMOGRAPHICS > Political & Other Boundaries.

Statistics:
* 85 of 92 Counties have committed to participate in this initiative
* 68 counties have been harvested
* Current published data counts:

2,571,867 Land Parcels
2,017,387 Address Points
3,043 Jurisdictional Boundaries
450,773 Street Centerlines Segments

NOTE: All four layers are also NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD in ESRI Shapefile format from the IndianaMap Viewer.

NOTE: These new layers represent the seventh monthly set of data harvested through the ongoing Data Sharing Initiative program by IDHS from local government sources on March 31, 2010. These layers are provided "as-is" and have not been quality control checked for completeness, accuracy or content, and should not to be used for any official or business purpose. Be sure to read the metadata for each layer.

NOTE -- SCALE DEPENDENT VIEWING: These datasets are not viewable at the full statewide extent. The intended scale of viewing for these data is approximately at the level of county, and trying to view these high-resolution layers at full statewide extent would greatly affect the performance of the map.

- The layers "Address Points (IDHS)" and "Street Centerlines (IDHS)" are only viewable on the map at a scale of 1:200,000 or smaller.

- The layer named "Address Points (IDHS)" is only viewable on the map at a scale of 1:100,000 or smaller.


Outreach
During the period of March 16 through April 15, a total of 20 service requests were answered by personnel of the IGS. These involved responses to comments or questions received from the public by email, telephone, or personal visits. Eight (8) of the requests dealt with interruptions of service.

As of April 16, there were approximately 709 subscribers to the INDIANAMAPVIEWER-L listserv.
