Historically, governmental and nongovernmental organizations expended significant amounts of money and resources gathering and using geographic data annually. Despite these outlays however, institutions often lacked the data required to solve critical problems or adequately answer geospatial questions. Some of the reasons for this situation include inconsistent data availability and standards, the lack of funds, and questions of jurisdictional control. The lack of organizational cooperation presented an additional obstacle, which resulted in duplicated work, varying data quality and standards, the lack of funds, and questions of jurisdictional control. The lack of organizational cooperation presented an additional obstacle, which resulted in duplicated work, varying data quality, and poor resource allocation. To address these issues, the Center for Shared Solutions (CSS), part of the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) developed the Michigan Geographic Framework (MGF) in the early 2000s to provide an official statewide basemap and geospatial repository.
DTMB CSS manages the MGF and related online services to provide the geospatial services and products commonly used by state government and local agencies, first responders, private industry, and the public. The agency also manages enterprise-based GIS/geospatial technology, infrastructure, and databases for state agencies and partnerships with local governments, education institutions, and non-profits to facilitate technological and informational exchanges between organizations and institutions.
The MGF has been recognized by the State of Michigan Enterprise Information Management (EIM) program as the master data management solution for location data. "MGF is the master repository for common shared geographic information systems (GIS ) data. It is the official base map for the State of Michigan. The MGF is a geodata hub that provides data for all levels of government, academia, and both the private and public sectors." (citation?)
As conceived, the MGF has a mission as both a product and a program. In terms of product, the MGF provides statewide digital base mapping that offers reference information important to a variety of users and a standardized starting point for developing individual products. The program aspect of the Framework is the mechanism by which the data themes that make up the basemap are integrated from authoritative sources and updated to provide current and accurate information. To keep up with this mission, CSS has implemented a variety of technological and scope improvements to MGF throughout its various iterations, moving from the limited offering of the annual geographic snapshot provided in MGF versions 1 through 17 to dynamic geographic data storage system that it is today. As the enterprise master geospatial data hub for the State of Michigan, MGF interacts with many GIS platforms across the state.
