The non-profit OpenGIS Consortium will assist in bringing the appropriate individuals to the workshop. The second workshop, entitled Government Operations & Services, will be conducted with the assistance of the Center for Technology in Government at the State University of New York - Albany, and will be a multidisciplinary assessment of the organizational, intergovernmental, and technological factors that shape government's ability to integrate advanced information technologies into internal operations and public services.
