NPMap

• NPMap is an application, service catalog, and
  development framework that integrates services,
  both spatial and non-spatial, from all over the
  National Park Service (NPS) into a single
  application framework. The centralized system is
  developed and supported by the Resource
  Information Management Division and its partners
  to provide parks, regions, and programs with a
  way to present their data to their users, while
  also plugging them -- through a "conduit"
  (Enterprise GIS) -- into ongoing
  efforts/initiatives at both the NPS and
  Department of Interior levels.
• What makes NPMap different? The system abstracts
  the different components that most mapping
  applications use ( the map itself, basic
  navigation tools, etc.) away from more
  specialized components, making it possible for
  all of applications running in NPMap to use the
  same resources. This makes the overall experience
  better for all involved, including developers
  (fix a bug or add a feature in one place and have
  the improvement automatically rolled out to other
  applications), system administrators (setup a
  single hardware configuration that multiple
  applications can take advantage of), program
  leads/database administrators (plug your data
  into a single system and allow it to be accessed
  by multiple applications), and users (learn a
  single interface and use the knowledge repeatedly
  for other applications).
