AbstractThe issue of how to detect and rapidly respond to invasive species before it is economically infeasible to control them is one of urgency and importance at international, national, and subnational scales. Barriers to sharing invasive species data—whether in the form of policy, culture, technology, or operational logistics—need to be addressed and overcome at all levels. We propose guiding principles for following standards, formats, and protocols to improve information sharing among US invasive species information systems and conclude that existing invasive species information standards are adequate for the facilitation of data sharing among all sectors. Rather than creating a single information-sharing system, there is a need to promote interfaces among existing information systems that will enable them to become inter-operable, to foster simultaneous access, and to deliver any and all relevant information to a particular user or application in a seamless fashion. The actions we propose include implementing a national campaign to mobilize invasive species occurrence data into publicly available information systems; maintaining a current list of invasive species data integrators/clearinghouses; establishing an agreement for sharing data among the primary US invasive species information systems; enhancing the Integrated Taxonomic Information System to fully cover taxonomic groups not yet complete; further developing and hosting data standards for critical aspects of invasive species biology; supporting and maintaining the North American Invasive Species Management Association’s mapping standards; identifying standard metrics for capturing the environmental and socio-economic impact of invasive species, including impacts and management options; continuing to support US engagement in international invasive species data sharing platforms; and continuing US membership in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

Geographic information systems (GISs) have been presented as a powerful analysing tool for civil engineers to help their decision-making processes. Building GIS platforms for transportation analysis involving multiple jurisdictions has been challenging, however, because of the complexity and difficulty associated with conducting data sharing and ensuring spatial data interoperability among GISs for transportation (GIS-T) data sets. In the context of western Canadian urban and rural areas, this paper investigates the issues related to GIS-T data sharing, establishes a conceptual framework, develops techniques supporting the framework by solving recurring data-sharing problems, and constructs a number of GIS-T platforms facilitating comprehensive multijurisdictional transportation analyses. In addition, based on the knowledge gained through solving real-world problems, the authors propose an open GIS-T platform consisting of a series of customized base maps, each being tailored to suit the needs of individual application and, as a whole, linked together by interoperability to better support transportation applications.Key words: transportation engineering analysis, GIS, GIS-T, spatial data, interoperability, integration, data sharing.

As innovation in cancer care continues and newer costly therapies receive approval, utilization management will continue to grow as an important way that payers can attempt to control costs and value while providing service to their patients. Although utilization management may be necessary, it takes many forms and is optimized when it ensures appropriate patient access to services and minimizes administrative burdens of physicians and staff. These opportunities are best explored in collaboration with payers. Information systems today provide an excellent platform for data sharing to facilitate collaborative efforts between care delivery organizations and payers to optimize these efforts. As state and national policies differ regarding utilization management, it is important for clinicians to be both aware and involved.
