Implementation Issues • Definitions of concepts • Geography • Disclosure avoidance
Digital Government Collaborative Environment • What is it? • Where is it? • What will it be used for? • How will it be managed? • How will it benefit the agencies?
Product Concepts Working Group • Why? • Next generation “data access tools” • Bridge between MapStats thematic mapping “on-the-fly” • Who? • Reps from ICSP agencies, MapStats and Data Access Tools Working Groups
PC Working Group (cont.) • What? • Develop & implement process for customer input/ideas • Work undertaken in collaborative environments with researchers • Design, develop and review prototypes
The ISS and Metadata Connection • Using the ISS technical architecture for data integration • Utilizing metadata • Removing painful data transformation process Data transformation by the user
Next Steps:Develop the Ground Floor (Infrastructure) inConjunction with the Second Floor (Tools & Products) • Infrastructure - Detail diagramming and implementation of the complementary roles of the CMR, DDMR and their connection with NESSTAR and the DDI, etc. • Tools & Products - Continue to foster and cultivate interagency collaboration in development of initial and later tools & products.
