  15. Accomplishments – New Applications • Department of Transportation • Right-Of-Way Plats • Transportation Information • Department of Agriculture • Groundwater pesticide sensitivity • Department of Emergency Services • Rangeland Fire Index

  16. Accomplishments – ND Conferences • Started out as GIS Day, transition to Users Conference beginning with 2005 • Registered attendance levels: • 2001: 40+ • 2002: 100 • 2003: 120 • 2004: 95 • 2005: 119 • 2006: 127 (as of Oct. 20)

  17. Current Work • Merging the Geological Survey clearinghouse – still pending • Road centerline study • Prepare for the Legislative Session • Provide letter of support for Imagery For The Nation • Data: NAIP, aquifers, HUC

  18. Current Work –Data • Ann Fritz, Department of Health • Hydrologic Unit Boundary delineation • Rod Bassler, State Water Commission • Aquifer update

  19. Goals – General • Work more closely with local & federal government, identify partnering opportunities • Server upgrades – ArcGIS Server 9.2 and new hardware • Web tools – enhance Hub Explorer with new interface • Add OGC-compliant WFS • Improved raster downloading

  20. Goals – Data • Near term: • NAIP 2005 onto ArcSDE & as web services • Update 30-meter Level 1 DEMs • Freshen existing data • Road centerlines: seamless, statewide • Long term: • Update 30-meter Level 1 DEMs • Parcel data: seamless, statewide

  21. Goals - Budget • Additional for • Increased hosting and storage • Application and software development • Data acquisition with funding partners • Optional (with NDACo) for statewide county GIS coordinator • ½ General Funds, ½ NDACo • Long-term funding mechanisms

  22. News From NSGIC • National States Geographic Information Council (www.nsgic.org) • Imagery For The Nation • TechniGraphics - HSIP • Fusion Centers • Ramona data inventory tool

  23. Imagery For The Nation • Annual 1-meter imagery paid by feds • Estimated $111 million/year but estimated $160 million every three years • Buy-up options (higher resolution, color infrared, footprints, etc.) – as stated by state GI councils • For more information see http://www.nsgic.org/hottopics/imageryofnation.cfm

  24. TechniGraphics - HSIP • TechniGraphics (TGS) is a contractor for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency • NGA formerly NIMA (National Imagery & Mapping Agency) • TGS is collecting Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) data from the states – critical infrastructure

  25. TechniGraphics - HSIP • States provide data (doesn’t have to be geospatial), contact info to TGS. • States contact officials (e.g., fire chiefs) letting them know of planned activities • TGS improves data, makes it geospatial, e.g., Arkansas fire stations • No co$t to the state! • Current layers: fire stations, prisons & jails, EMS stations, urgent care locations

  26. Fusion Centers • Used to develop and share information • Approximately 40 states have them • In North Dakota, Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Highway Patrol, Dept. of Emergency Services • “A fusion center is an effective and efficient mechanism to exchange information and intelligence, maximizeresources, streamline operations, and improve the ability to fight crime and terrorism by analyzing data from a variety of sources.”

  27. Ramona Data Inventory • Developed and promoted by NSGIC • All levels of government can use this tool to inventory their geospatial data and list key contacts • More information at http://www.nsgic.org/hottopics/ramona_announcement.pdf • North Dakota site: http://nd.gisinventory.net/

  28. Ramona Data Inventory • In North Dakota, may be very useful: • FEMA • Census • Collaborative data collection • Considering creation of tutorials • The following slides are from NSGIC

  29. Status Map & Data Search

  30. User Profile • Separate Tabs for information on: • User • Organization • Systems • Policies • My Geography • Framework Data Inventory • Other Data Inventory • Metadata

  31. User Directory Standard directory tool Several methods employed to prevent data mining

  32. Discussion – State-wide Data Priorities • Executive GISTC Priorities • Road centerlines • Elevation – replace Level 1 DEMs first • Continue acquiring NAIP – 2-meter? • Parcel data • Framework layers • Other priorities???

  33. Discussion – Partnership • Ramona • Data sharing – local-state-federal • Practice now, useful for future, IFTN • Data collection – communicate plans! • NAIP: buy-up from 2-meter to 1-meter or better • Standards/best practices development • Metadata hosting – Cass County is doing this, who else is interested? • Training/workshops • CAP Grant – Statewide Strategic Plan

  34. Discussion – Future Users Conferences • Need your feedback and direction! • Considering September • Location: • Free conference = Limited Funds = Limited Locations • Frequency

  35. Other Discussion? • Questions? • Comments? • Ways to improve?
