Title: Build EPA Apps in the Cloud Dr. Brand Niemann Former US EPA Senior Enterprise Architect and Data Scientist Current Binary Group Senior Enterprise Architect and Data Scientist September 16, 2011

Description • Stage I: While Dr. Brand Niemann was the Senior Enterprise Architect and Data Scientist at the US EPA, he published a paper entitled "Put Your Desktop in the Cloud in Support of the Open Government Directive and a Data.gov/Semantic" (Published in a Paper April 19, 2010). Then he developed his own Open Government Plan and Build over 42 Apps related to his EPA work and over 25 Data Science Products related to his work for Data.gov and other interagency activities.
Description • Stage II: Since leaving the US EPA after 30+ years of federal service, Dr. Niemann has continued to work on EPA, Data.gov, and international data applications as Director and Senior Data Scientist for the Semantic Community and AOL Government as a "data blogger". The June 9th announcement of the EPA Apps for the Environment by Administrator Lisa Jackson was a very significant development because in the broader perspective it made it possible for Dr. Niemann to build on Stage I and envision a Stage III which would make this an even more valuable and sustainable program. Dr. Niemann decided to subdivide Stage II into a Phase I (Making EPA Data More Useful in the Cloud) and Phase II (Chesapeake Bay Program Stats and Indicators in the Cloud) because the 30 data sets needed to be put into a more useful form and because the Chesapeake Bay data sets offered more opportunities for meaningful integration and use by decision makers and the public than the 30 data sets.
Description • Stage III: The presentation at the Geospatial Summit this week on "GIS Integrating and Sharing Data: Lessons Learned from the EPA" by Lisa Jenkins & David G. Smith, US EPA, highlighted the need to integrate all the complicated backend business processes from Stage I in a state-or-the-art dynamic case management platform like Be Informed which Dr. Niemann is currently piloting for DoD, Army, Veterans Administration, and other clients of the Binary Group (Username: guest and Password: guest) where Dr. Niemann is currently employed as a Senior Enterprise Architect and Data Scientist. The results of Stage III with Be Informed would be integrated with the results of Stage II. This means this contest sets the stage for a longer-term more sustainable and meaningful activity where these "contest apps" have a permanent home and broader purpose (see request for success stories by Whitehouse Office of Open Innovation).
