  1. Geospatial Information One-Stop Milo Robinson Federal Geographic Data Committee

  2. Acknowledgements

  3. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) • A US Federal Interagency committee responsible for facilitating geospatial related activities and implementation of the NSDI across the Federal government • 18 Federal agencies are members (soon to be 19) • Cooperate and coordinate with organizations from state, local and tribal governments, the academic community, and the private sector.

  4. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) The vision of the NSDI: to assure that spatial data from multiple sources (Federal, State, and local governments, academia, and the private sector) are widely available and easily integrated to enhance knowledge and understanding of our physical and cultural world.

  5. What is Geospatial One Stop? • E-Government (E-gov) Initiative • Component of President Bush’s Management Agenda • One of 24 E-Government initiatives • Part of the Government to Government Portfolio • Vision: the geographic component for e-gov • Accelerate implementation of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

  6. Geospatial One Stop Governance • US Office of Management and Budget oversees the direction of the E-Government Initiatives • Department of Interior serves as the Managing Partner for Geospatial One Stop • Federal Geographic Data Committee supports the Geospatial One Stop project implementation

  9. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks • Establish integrated Framework Data Content Standards • Use metadata to inventory, document and publish Framework data holding in NSDI Clearinghouse • Publish metadata for planned data acquisition and update for Framework data • Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data • Establish a Federal Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network

  10. Task 1 Framework Standards Development • Focus on Framework data themes • Geodetic Control (National Geodetic Survey) • Elevation (US Geological Survey) • OrthoImagery (US Geological Survey) • Hydrography (US Geological Survey) • Government Units (Census) • Cadastral (Bureau of Land Management) • Transportation (Dept. of Transportation) • Sub-themes: Roads, Rail, Transit, Air

  11. Task 1ANSI Standards Process • ANSI INCITS L1 Subcommittee • Open participation for all sectors • National Standard, not Federal Standard • Benefit from INCITS standards expertise • To participate sign up: www.geo-one-stop.gov • Integrated Framework Data Content Standards • UML • XML (GML) encoding • OGC prototyping (CIPI) • ANSI Standards become basis of Geospatial Web Services

  12. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks 2&3 Module 2 Inventory/Document existing Federal agency framework datasets and publish metadata to clearinghouse Module 3 Inventory/Document planned acquisition data and publish metadata to clearinghouse

  13. Task 2- Existing DataInventory/Documentation • Stage 1 All existing federal national coverage framework datasets • Stage 2 All existing federal regional/ local framework datasets • Stage 3 State and local framework datasets

  14. Task 3Planned Acquisition Data • Federal agencies post planned acquisition data information for capital asset projects • On-line “clearinghouse” to manage cross-agency information. • Investment:Total projected investment & Agency • Timing Estimated start date- completion date

  15. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks 4&5 • Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data and design Portal • Establish a National Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network • OGC Technology Insertion Project for Portal (alpha version scheduled for May)

  16. customer middleware common packaging services Providers of Theme X • automated ad-hoc requests • data and mapping via web services • web discovery, portrayal, and order or access • support of common content models and extended models • support of neutral encoding methods • data packages can be validated against a common reference • data translation shared between provider and customer Data services Past and Future customer Providers of Theme X • human request handling • ftp data access • web discovery and order • documentation of local content models • use of proprietary formats • little adherence to enforceable standards • data translation largely the responsibility of the customer

Future Model Federal Users Civilian Users National Policy Tribal Users Makers Commercial Users State Users Local Users DoD Users International Users replicated access points NSDI One-Stop Portal State Governments Other Federal Agency Local Governments Commercial Sector Services Data Bases The National Map DoD Tribal Governments

  19. Geospatial One-Stop Portal Concept • Portal is an online access point for geospatial data, maps of data, and metadata about data • Distributed Information: data stored at provider sites, not in Portal • Portal uses open standards for interoperability • Geospatial web service specifications • Metadata and content standards • Portal builds upon NSDI Clearinghouse by providing direct access to data • Web-based user interface for human access • Application interface for automated GIS/DSS access

  20. Web Browser (Thin Client) Applications (Thick Client) Internet Geospatial One-Stop Portal @portal host site GNIS WFS WFS WMS WCS Cat Clients (gazetteer) Internet Services Data Web Feature Service Provider Organizations Web Map Service Web Coverage Service Catalog Service

  21. GOS Where we want to be • Users are able to discover and use maps or data served and maintained by a reliable custodian • The format and structure of the information for a given theme from all providers can appear the same to all customers • Content and encoding requirements are simple yet useful enough that many providers adopt and serve compliant Framework data • Data and map services are authoritative, reliable, and are referenced by many customers instead of setting up duplicate services elsewhere

  22. GOS End Results • Standards for Framework layers are completed and deployed • Published planned spatial data activities. Federal agencies working with State, local, and commercial data publishers to reduce overlapping efforts • GOS Web portal provides access to standardized distributed data services

  23. How can I participate? • GOS Standards Review (Now) • Review of Alpha version of Portal (MAY 03) • Apply for FGDC Grants that stimulate GOS activities (opens soon-- 60 period) • Metadata creation and Implementation($9k) • Clearinghouse and Open GIS ($25k) • Canadian/US Joint Project ( $75/cdn$100k)

  24. FGDC Grant Program for:Clearinghouse Integration with OpenGIS Services • Deploy web map or feature server using metadata in the NSDI Clearinghouse • Competitive $25,000 Grants (6) • Seed-funding • Match contribution required • Announcement anticipated Soon • 5 page narrative

  25. SDI Binational Grant with Canada • Geographic area of common interest (ie. Red River Basin) • Includes technical requirement for WMS • Joint US/Canadian Funding $75k/$100k • Match contribution required • 12 page narrative • 4 project partners required • US lead and partner • Canadian Lead and partner
