  1. What Has Happened In EC’s Geo World Over The Past 1000 Days? André Plante, M.Sc., P.Eng. and Ing. Acting Manager, Geospatial Data Section

  2. KEY FINDINGS • 1. … there are no department-wide policies/procedures/standards in data management to allow for users to use and integrate data. • 2. … there is no current, complete understanding of the department's data holdings. • 3. … there is no sustained senior management involvement in data managementand no common understanding of what data management means across the department. Environment Canada, Data Management Policy…approved by EMB, 1998 (- 5000 days)

  3. Rationale for the Geospatial Data and Tools Management Strategy • Until now, Environment Canada’s geospatial information as well as its geomatics activities have been developed independently by various program teams. As a result, our geospatial data and tools assets are managed in relation to a specific and often single Environment Canada purpose or application. The persistent effects of this are; • Lack of knowledge and access to the geospatial information assets… • Inability to combine geospatial information to help address the issues of the day. • Lack of effective governance over geospatial information... • Lack of connections between content creation, sharing and preservation. • Lack of a mechanism for joint purchasing of geospatial content, tools and services. have been developed independently

  4. The Strategy(- 970 days) Act as one organisation

  5. Objectives • A trusted source; • EC is the agency of record for geospatial environmental information • A good steward; • A life cycle approach to geospatial information management assures that the value of investments made in geospatial information assets is maximized. • A smart manager; • Intelligent application of common policies, tools and mechanisms is used to minimize costs, maximize use and minimize duplication of effort. • A reliable partner; • … approaches are built and implemented so they contribute to enabling and encouraging integration

  6. First Priority Four Priorities
