Abstract: Geographic Information System consortiums are in various stages of development or discussion in many cities, counties, and states throughout the country. This paper details Citizens Gas & Coke Utilities experience with the first multi-participant public-private sector consortium, IMAGIS -Indianapolis Mapping and Geographic Infrastructure System. IMAGIS can be defined as a consortium of organizations that share a common database of spatial information for different applications. It is the first, large multiparticipant GIS project involving both public and private organizations in North America. In a nutshell, IMAGIS is the result of a mission many thought impossible -bringing the government, utility, educational and private sectors together to deal jointly with their infrastructure management challenges. The project represents a geographically spatially oriented information processing system that integrates the infrastructure management needs of over two dozen different agencies and organizations into a comprehensive network of shared resources. Two broad goals of IMAGIS are to provide a countywide, land related digital database and to serve the various ongoing analytical and reporting requirements of the participating organizations.
