#TuGIS

• OSPREY is to Maryland, as…

- VIPER is to Virginia

- GATOR is to Florida

- RAPTOR is to Oregon

- Other Fearsome Beasts, are to other states

• OSPREY is a brand of curated data and applications

• Maryland has copied from others, and will continue

doing so

• Focus on the aspects of OSPREY that we believe

are the least common and perhaps NISC Members

will want to improve upon
