color:#1F497D'>As the project manager of the State LiDAR project I’m very
interested in this thread. I have contacted folks at the Open Topography portal
and at the time of the contact, they were not really ready to start ingesting
large quantities of data as it was still a ‘Pilot, proof of concept” type of
thing. Things may have changed – I have not been there in a while.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>We (DNR) are currently working on a service (ArcGIS Based –
including WMS) for the existing High Res topo data in Minnesota. We’ll need
both the ability to provide image and data services, including downloads. This is
going to be deployed for the upcoming flood season. We’ll see how that goes. I’m
curious to see how the ArcGIS server stuff performs. I already know the
mapserver stuff worked well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Ok, since there are project worker
bees here, how are re-usability issues going to be handled? I'm looking
through the DETAIL web page about construction, are there plans to distribute
the components separately, or only in the composite fashion? Nice documentation
BTW. I would want to overlay my own mapping constructs over the
Hillshading / Contouring for example. Also, I don't see a method
for contributing LIDAR data to the process, or would finished tiles be
preferable?</span> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>So, I have (for a the City of Saint
Paul in Minnesota), 1ft contours for bare earth as well as the LIDAR data for
earth and for BareEarth combined with Buildings. If here were a desire on
our part to build this out into something that integrated with your project, is
there any interest, or is this too small an area?</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
