Incorporate different data sets
Create relationships to external databases
Allow for: Concurrent / Single editing Concurrent viewing User accounts (security)
Provide database for customized GIS applications and analysis
Spatial Database Development Objectives

Current Activities and Discussion VCL prototype applications: Interagency Review,
Fire, Interagency Trails and GEWA GMP; Test working with local data on VCL; Continue investigating ArcGIS Server; and Continued development of custom applications
with regional and park staff.
