GIS Inventory powered by Ramona An Overview for the State of Connecticut January 23, 2008
Today’s Agenda • Limited Introductions • Overview of the GIS Inventory • Live Review of the User Interface • Live Review of the Administrator Panel • Management Uses in North Carolina
Purpose of the GIS Inventory • Track the status of GIS in state and local government • Aid the planning and building of Spatial Data Infrastructures • Work in concert with Geospatial One-Stop and other Federal programs for broader data discovery • Have a single inventory tool • Unique state identity (promote buy-in) • Reduce the need for the multiple ad-hoc inventories conducted by federal and state agencies
Primary Components of the GIS Inventory • Inventory of • Users • Organizations • Systems • Policies • Geography • 478 Data Layers • Status Maps and Query Capability • Directory of Users • Reports • User Support • Newsletter Tool • Administrative Tools • Metadata Generation Tool • Metadata Repositories (Web Folder and CSW) • Supports the Annual NSGIC State Summaries
Important Features • Open source • Simple & intuitive interface • Inexpensive to modify and maintain • $6,000 per year for hardware/software/ISP • Original User Needs and System Build - $60k (NOAA funded through BAA) • Total Investment is < $150k to date from (NOAA, FEMA, FGDC, DHS)
Underlying Architecture • PHP - programming • MapServer - mapping interface • MySQL – database • Commercial Hardware (Liquid Web) • Dedicated High Speed Server • RAID Level 1 Storage • On-Site and Off-Site Backup • 2-hour repair/replacement guarantee
Interoperability NDEP – National Digital Elevation Program Committee NDOP – National Digital Orthophoto Programs Committee MIP – FEMA’s Mapping Information Platform GOS – Geospatial One Stop Portal CSW – Catalog Services - OGC Catalog Service 2.0.1 GIS Inventory is not dependent on any other system.
Status Maps • Visualize status of particular data layers • Map can be customized • Information reports on all data layers

Metadata Requirements • GIS Inventory does not ingest metadata • too many variables in free text fields • GIS Inventory has a structured series of questions in several functional areas • GIS Inventory creates “starter” metadata that is compliant with the FGDC CSDGM standard
Customers • State and local governments and their partners from many sectors, including private business • Select Federal Agencies (FEMA, DHS, NDOP, NDEP) • FGDC Cadastral Committee (new) • GOS Portal • General Public
How or why are they using the system? • Data Discovery • Strategic and Business Plan Development • Building Spatial Data Infrastructures • Research on Status and Trends
StatisticsSeptember 2007 (Updates for December 2007) • 1,824 Registered Users (2,993) • 572 have documented data layers (648) • 5,861 metadata records (avg. 10 each) • 3,237 Framework (3,512) • 2,624 Other layers (2,874) • 1,335 harvested by GOS ? • 1,154 validated by GOS ?
