8. Products and services Support for custom Web-mapping services Starting point for a statewide gazetteer that is more authoritative than GNIS Products could include rendered maps, rendered layers/layer sets, map imagetiles, Web services, raw data layers… Multiple representation concept to link to larger- and smaller-scale datasets if developed Wisconsin Land Information Association Annual Conference, Madison, Feb 2011
