What I’m Going to Cover • NSDI Evolving • GOS Portal Enhancements • Example New ‘Service’ - Integration with GOS • How should we measure Agency Participation in GOS?
Evolving Spatial Data Infrastructures GIS Portals Clearinghouses • Application focus • IT standards • Interoperable • System-oriented • Data focus • Geo-standards • Top down File Transfer • Ad hoc • Data focus • FTP transfer • Bottom up
Some Lessons Learned • Metadata is difficult • Difficult to publish • Difficult to be consumed by end users • Not all data is available to users • Not all data is registered • Searching data is not easy • Too many steps to contribute content • Result • GIS Portals aren’t reaching their full potential
How should our Metadata evolve? Large User Community: General Users Brief Metadata is Sufficient KML, Tagging, Dig, … Verbose Metadata is Desired Limited User Community: GIS Specialist ISO 19139, FGDC
External Drivers: The Internet is Evolving Source: http://gismatters.blogspot.com/
Evolving Spatial Data Infrastructures Services Architecture GIS Portals • Service Oriented • Focus on Content • Integration in Business Process Clearinghouses • Application focus • IT standards • Interoperable • System-oriented • Data focus • Geo-standards • Top down File Transfer • Ad hoc • Data focus • FTP transfer • Bottom up

Access Functions – Context Menu • Access the function menu by putting your mouse cursor over the data content icon.
New Marketplace Interface • Text and Location Search • Study Area Footprints Shown in Map • Similar Functionality to Search Interface
Example New Service from FGDC Coming soon in 2008 • Is this map service working? • How Responsive is it? A New Symbol next to ‘Live’ Map Services Linked to a detailed report….
WMS Detailed Report from FGDC • Report Information: • GOS Registration Information • Health Test Results • Reliability Rating • Responsiveness Rating • Potential Service Issues • Recommendations
Measuring Agency Participation • How should we measure participation? • Encourage progress? • Proposed – • Q2 and Q4 OMB EGov Milestones • Published our new metadata • Published our new data plans • Reviewed and updated our A-16 Data Communities (Links Working) • Registered Map Services and Applications? • Supporting data from the portal (standard form?) • FGDC Annual report used to discuss other participation – establishing web services etc…
