  1. UASI 2008 Concept Paper Tom Conry Fairfax County, VA Virginia Barney Krucoff Washington, DC Matt Felton Center for GIS at TU Maryland Establishing a Coordinated Regional Geospatial Infrastructure for the National Capital Region May 15, 2008

  2. The Vision: A Robust Geospatial Framework for the Region • Coordinated, interoperable, standards-based data sharing • Leveraging existing assets • Improve readiness by facilitating data discovery and access • Provide relevant and accessible capabilities to end users across the region

  3. IT GIS Public Safety Our Plan • Work in partnership to meet the needs of multiple communities AND • Leverage existing assets to: 1. Deploy MEGDS via NCR Map over the iNet by August 2008 2. Publish MEGDS to the web by December 2008 3. Enhance access to resources by iteratively extending current capabilities - June 2009 and beyond

  4. What resources are needed? • Access to NCRnet for rapid deployment of existing assets • UASI proposal will provide resources to build out the regional framework • Facilitate planning/strategy to ensure alignment with Public Safety stakeholder’s objectives

  5. Many Stakeholders – Shared Need • States and counties • WMATA • US DHS Pilot with DC & Virginia & Alexandria • All Hazards Consortium • DHS NCR Region • National Geospatial Advisory Committee • MSGIC/VGIN/MW-COG • National Alliance for Public Safety GIS • MW-COG Committees (Emergency Managers, Fire Chiefs, Police Chiefs) • International Association of Fire Chiefs • Who else is asking you about GIS?

  6. Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Whatever Tool Suits You Best “Savvy” Casual User (Mid-level Users) Public / Executive (Novice Users) GIS Community (Advanced Users) Users ArcMap ArcGIS Explorer Virtual Earth Google Earth EMMA Google Maps ArcGIS Server Tools Regional Geospatial Framework Search for GeoData Addressing Routing Data Extraction Capabilities View & Query Advanced Analysis GeoData (Jurisdiction X GeoData (Jurisdiction X GeoData (Jurisdiction X

  7. History (What’s been accomplished so far) • UASI Proposal (2006) • Brought GIS community together to identify key issues • Regional HIRA (completed in 2007) • EMMA deployment • Established an online “Basic” regional base map • Provided capabilities to bring in local data • Development of Minimum Essential Geospatial Data Set (MEGDS) • USGS CAP 2008 – Landmark structures • Will establish the framework for a consistent regional “Points of Interest” layer • Additional coordination with ongoing projects in the region

  8. Leveraging Existing Assets Current investments • Infrastructure • NCRnet / iNets • Data Exchange Hub • Cad-to-cad • Others… • Applications • EMMA • MW-COG / HIRA • Maryland • Virginia • Temperature boards (MPD) • RITIS • CapWin • Many others… COTS software & services • Microsoft, Google, ESRI • Standards based • Large existing user communities • Data • Minimum Essential Geospatial Data Set (MEGDS) • State GIS (MD iMap, VGIN) • County data • Existing web sources / services • HIRA • Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun, DC • VGIN / MD iMap • Federal • Many others…

  9. DEMO of Existing Capabilitiesvia MW-COG Servers

  10. Summary of UASI Concept Paper • Balances long-term strategy with defined, tangible milestones along the way. • 3 Parallel Activities • Strategic Planning • Ensure alignment with activities already underway • Leverage current and emerging GIS technology • Implementation of Regional GIS Catalog • Improves ability to discover and access existing assets • Widens the “available” universe of data • Prepositioned Collections of Geospatial Data & Capabilities • Grouping and filtering of data for specific user communities • Combining data with capabilities to improve knowledge • Example: Understanding regional (multi-jurisdictional) response times Roads data Geocoding & Routing Analysis Knowledge

  11. Some Specific Outcomes / Benefits • A shared plan for geospatial technology in the region • A mechanism to share the GIS outputs from projects in the region (e.g. other “HIRA’s”) • A regional geospatial standard that helps define GIS outputs for new projects • Access to additional data and capabilities • Precise addressing (right house vs. right block) • Accurate routing • Integrating disparate data through “place” • Multiple disciplines (police, fire, etc), jurisdictions, and levels of government • A geospatial framework that supports many other multi-jurisdictional operations • Crime • Transportation • Environment • Stormwater • Real Estate • Planning / Economic Development • Others…

  12. Key Principles • Authoritative data • Federated architecture / SOA • Interoperability • Standards-based (vendor agnostic)
