8 chapter two SHARING GIS RESOURCES BETWEEN AIRPORTS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES Sharing GIS data, software, hardware, and human resources makes sense where common needs can be identified and organizational differences can be overcome. This is especially true where the demand for GIS data and applications is growing, but the funding available to fulfill that demand is limited.

10 respondents often felt these data were essential, meaning that they could not complete important tasks without them or a suitable replacement. Costs of Sharing and Collaboration Data sharing and collaboration do have their costs, however.

12 Although other forms of sharing are indicated, these are the most commonly reported by survey and interview participants. Some respondents indicated that more opportunities exist to share data and collaborate.

Knowing where subsurface utility lines and appurtenances are is therefore critical to safe and efficient airport planning, development, operations and maintenance (Anspach and Murphy 2012)

15 • Utilities -- As mentioned earlier, the FAA and its contractors often install navigational aids (and the utilities that support them) at airports without sharing that locational detail with the airport.

17 Although technically software is not being shared, the collective purchasing power of multiple organizations within a given jurisdiction provides discounts that are shared. Some airports have benefitted by receiving reduced pricing on the initial GIS software purchases that have traditionally been a barrier to entry.
