  2. Homeland Security Geospatial Directives and Legislation • Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 – DHS Homeland Security Geospatial Information (summary) • Provides geospatial information necessary to implement the critical infrastructure protection programs • providing leadership and coordination of geospatial information requirements for planning, prevention, mitigation, assessment and response to emergencies, critical infrastructure protection, and other functions of the Department • coordinating with users of geospatial information within the Department to assure interoperability and prevent unnecessary duplication. • coordinating the geospatial information needs and activities of the Department; • implementing standards, as adopted by OMB to facilitate the interoperability of geospatial information • coordinating with the FGDC • DHS Management Directive 4030 (summary) • Formulates plans and provides overall oversight for the integration of geospatial information and technology Department-wide • Promotes standards-based geospatial information and technology architecture • Directs the establishment, monitoring, and evaluation of geospatial information technology performance in support of program accomplishments • Maintains the DHS Geospatial Working Group

  4. Current GMO Initiatives and Activities (1 of 3) • GeoWireless Program: Enabling wireless geospatial applications for homeland security. Delivering initial operational capabilities (IOC) for three Geospatial Enterprise Architecture (GEA) reference implementations. • Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Initial Operational Situational Awareness Capability (IOSAC) (June/July 2005) • Field an initial operational situational awareness capability for a high-visibility US port of entry; • Real-time wireless tracking of mobile GPS enabled devices. • Spatially Enabling the Enforcement Case Tracking System (ENFORCE) (Sept 2005) • ENFORCE is the system that tracks illegal crossing activities along the US national border; Spatially enabled system provides a map interface and geospatial referencing capabilities to accurately geo-locate crossing activities for pattern and trend analysis. • Geospatial Services Center (GSC) (May 2005) • Field a “next generation” DHS Community Outreach Web Portal that serves open standards based web mapping services and guidance on the Homeland Security (HLS) Geospatial Enterprise Architecture (GEA). • TCP/IP based services architecture built on Open GIS standards; • Enables access to geospatial data from wired and wireless network devices.

  5.

  6. Current GMO Initiatives and Activities (3 of 3) Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Executive Steering Committee National Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Policy (PNT) Executive Committee • Chair:DOI • Vice-Chair:OMB • DHS Voting Member: Geospatial Information Officer (GIO) • National geospatial policies and strategy • Developing geospatial metadata and standards • Establishing NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure) Architecture • Chair: DOD • Vice-Chair: DOT • DHS Voting Member: Deputy Secretary • Setting policy for GPS access and use • Leading international cooperation on standards • Establishing technical U.S. and allied deployment Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) Senior Steering Committee Geospatial One Stop (GOS) Board of Directors • Co-Chair: DOI • Co-Chair: OMB • DHS Voting Member: Geospatial Information Officer (GIO) • Defining community policy on commercial remote sensing use and requirement management • Developing commercial remote sensing economic policy initiatives • Chair: DOI • DHS Voting Member: Geospatial Information Officer (GIO) • Establishing policy and best practices for data sharing • Developing national metadata repository standards

  7. HLS Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Challenge • Lack of Interoperability Standards • Data Visibility • Information Sharing • Redundancy • Governance • Inventory of Existing Capability

  8. HLS GEA Value Proposition • Provide a consistent framework that can be applied within and across agencies to identify the geospatial implications across lines of business • Define common geospatial service components • Define data (metadata) reference model to standardize commonly used geospatial information • Determine current geospatial capability of the HLS enterprise • Evaluate new geospatial IT investments for redundancy, mission performance, interoperability, cost avoidance • Support transition planning towards target architecture

  9. Target HLS GEA v1.0 Summary • Business • Common Geospatial Business Language Developed • HLS GEA Business Activities: 67 of 77 HLS EA Business • Geospatial used in 233 Roles in the Mission • Data • Geospatial Data Dictionary: 166 Data Classes • Geospatial Base Data Objects & Models • Geospatial Data Properties-Elements • Application • 67 Geospatial Applications (several specialized instances of each) • Technology • Geospatial Technical Reference Model • 69 Geospatial Components • Geospatial Technology Patterns • Geospatial Standards

  10. Geospatial View of the DHS Enterprise Architecture – Way Forward • Characterize state of current geospatial infrastructure • Stand-up and populate the GEA information/knowledge repository • Populate the DHS/HLS GEA View • Geospatially Enabled Business Processes • Data and Metadata Standards • Application and Component Identification • Technology Reference Model

  11. DHS Geospatial Metadata Community of Interest • Chartered by the DHS Data Management Working Group and Staffed through the DHS Geospatial Working Group • Objectives • Facilitate identification of DHS geospatial data and metadata standards • Support the creation an enterprise geospatial data model and high-level architecture • Provide geospatial data and metadata management policies • Identify requirements for new capabilities, service and content for Geospatial Community • Activities • Develop draft DHS Geospatial Metadata COI Charter – complete • Participate in National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Project • Facilitate geospatial registry/repository content population and interoperability • Leverage Project Homeland and other geospatial data management lessons learned
