  1. Stewarding America’s Data Assets Ronald Matzner I-Team Coordinator Arizona GIS Conference August 6, 2002

  2. What is Our Vision? • Geographic Information that Anyone, Anywhere Can Readily Access, Plug In and Use For Any Legitimate Purpose With Confidence That Is Current, Accurate and Nationally Consistent

  3. What Did You Tell Us It Will Take?A Community Mandate • Build National Resources From Bottom Up • Create Partnerships • Get Everyone Around the Table • Best Partner Develops and Stewards Data • Develop and Implement Consensus Standards and Specifications • Share Data Collections • Transparency and Accountability • Align Roles, Responsibilities and Resources • Pool and Leverage Investments

  4. A Presidential Mandate • President Bush’s Management Reform Agenda • A National GIS Strategy is Essential for at Least 2 of his Five Primary Objectives • Integrating Management Performance and Budget • E-government • increase agency productivity • eliminate redundancy • improve service delivery

  5. How Do We Get There? • There is No One Program or Process that Will Get Us There • Many States Already Planning and Executing an Enterprise Strategy • We Need An Integrated National Enterprise Strategy

  6. An Integrated Strategy Data Process Institutional Institutional Technical Political Financial 3R Alignment America’s Data

  7. Overcoming Barriers • Institutional I-Teams Mission-critical initiatives dependent on local data • Technical Geospatial One-Stop OGC Interoperability • Political Community Strategic Initiative • Financial Financing Solutions

  8. THE SUM OF MANY PARTS NSDI Web Services Interoperability Financing Political Awareness Intergovernmental Partnerships

  9. NSDI NSDI AMERICA’S DATA ASSETS APPLICATIONS AND USES Homeland Security E-Gov Business Needs All Levels of Government & Private Sector Interoperability Specifications and Web Services Metadata - Clearinghouse - Standards Framework, Other A-16 Themes & all Geodata National Infrastructure (NSDI) Private, NGO, Academia Tribal Federal Agencies State & Local Data from all sources, programs, procedures and technologies

GI For America:Roadmap for Design Data Model Accept. 11 -Implementation Plan -Tasking -Data Modernization (Multi-user) -Technical Infrastructure -Implementation Org. -Budget -Schedule 12 -Cost/ Budget Analysis 9 -Design System Arch. & Tech. Standards for Implement. 10 -Design Organizational Governance Structure 13 -National GIS Legislation & Mobilization Of GIS Community

  12. Overlapping Phases Phase IV Phase III Phase II Phase I

  13. Critical Path • Phase I • Engage State and Local Leaders • Engage White House • Engage OMB Budget Examiners • Phase II (Next 18 Months) • Complete Essential Infrastructure Elements • Develop Business Case and Cost/Benefit • Educate Legislative Branch • Engage State Budget Offices • Design Enterprise Implementation Plan

  14. Critical Path • Phase III • Build A Broad Political Coalition • Legislate Incentives for Local Governments • Address the Geospatial Digital Divide • Phase IV • Align Roles, Responsibilities and Resources • Secure Funding and Financing

  15. Phase IISteps Along the Path • Technical Geospatial One-Stop - a Presidential Initiative to Accelerate Implementation of Essential NSDI Components Needed to Produce, Steward and Access America’s Data Assets

  16. Phase IISteps Along the Path • Metadata - Document and Post Existing and Planned Data Activities • Core Data Content Models and Standards • OGC Translation Schema, Test Beds, and Interoperable Web Services • Abstract Features Model in UML to support exchange of data • Gazetteer – place names • Catalogue services specifications– search and find data • Web mapping, and data access • Portal

  17. OGC Web Feature Service WFS Mission System A Web Feature Browser/ Client Application translation utilities GML (XML) Native Format Mission System B WFS P B private schema public schema transformation rules

  18. Phase IISteps Along the Path • Political • Spatial Technology Community Educates and Builds Awareness • Develop Alliances with Other Sectors • Financial • Facilitate 3R Process Among All Levels of Government • Match I-Plans and Federal Planned Data Collections • Prepare Cost/Benefit Analysis

  19. Phase IISteps Along the Path • Institutional • I-Teams Producing I-Plans • Increased reliance on partnerships to Fulfill Essential National Missions using America’s Data Assets • Opportunities for Collaboration • National Map • Census TIGER Modernization • FEMA NFIP and Disaster Mitigation • 120 Cities

  20. Develop Data Coordination Strategy • Local data needed for daily business operations is the same data needed by other jurisdictions and levels of government, as well as for HS and to protect CI • National Map, Census TIGER Modernization, FEMA NFIP, and other mission-critical national initiatives need the same data • Unprecedented opportunity for collaboration to align roles, responsibilities, and resources • Yet, enormous challenge - no forum exists for this

  21. HSIP Summit • Convened by Council for Excellence in Government • Sponsored by NIMA and USGS National Map • Engage all levels of government • Forum for dialogue with potential local partners and their professional organizations • NSGIC September 10 • Leaders Forum September 18 • FGDC Steering Committee Workshop October 10

  22. Some Practical Questions • What is and who determines best available data? • What process will be used to determine which entities should produce, steward, and distribute it? • If data doesn’t exist, what resources will there be to produce it? • How will the data be kept current? • What intergovernmental mechanisms will exist to foster collaboration? • What will be the organizational and governance structure? • What financial incentives and value exchange would be necessary for local governments to consider it worthwhile to collaborate and share data?

  23. Coordinated Local Government Enterprise PLANNING UTILITIES PUBLIC WORKS BUILDINGS service Geodata PARKS & REC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Geodata service Rules ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Data and Service Registries service Geodata Rules PROPERTY APPRAISER Geodata service LICENSES service Geodata POLICE FINANCE EMERGENCY SERVICES

  24. HSIP Summit • Evaluate HSIP draft report • Identify State and local needs • Assess State and local capacity • Identify gaps • Prioritize efforts • Begin to consider coordination strategy • Leverage State and local Data • Leverage mission-critical national initiatives

  25. Colorado Plateau • Colorado Plateau Data Coordination Group proposes an NSDI Demonstration Project • Develop a coordination strategy and process enabling National Map, Census, other national missions and CPDCG to align roles, responsibilities and resources for data production, stewardship and distribution across all sectors • Start with boundaries layer and extend to other framework layers • Provide a functional template for the collaborative process that would apply as well to CI

  26. WHAT IS AN I-TEAM ? • A Collaborative Process that Effectively and Efficiently • Organizes the Way We Produce and Steward A Portion of America’s Data Assets • Helps All Levels of Government Fulfill Their Missions • Supports Geospatial One Stop

  27. I-Teams Steward Data Assets Local Government Steward County Government Steward Steward Local Government I-TEAM Federal Agency Public Utility Tribal Government Steward Steward Academic Institution

  28. WHAT IS AN I-TEAM ? • Locally Formed, Interdependent • Inclusive, Voluntary, Open • Expanded from Existing Collaborations • Local, State, Federal, Private Sector, Academic • Brand Name to Help Build Political Awareness

  29. What Do I-Teams Do? • Address Institutional Barriers • Identify most effective ways to collect, maintain and distribute Data • Designate data stewards • Develop Enterprise Plans (I-Plans) for Data Production and Publication by the Most Appropriate Partner at Accuracy and Scale Needed by Local Jurisdictions

  30. I-Team Role Essential and Continuing • Play Key Role in Geospatial One-Stop • Telling Us What You Need for Portal and Standards • Developing Consensus for Data Content Models and Standards • Work with OGC on Cutting Edge of Technology (Semantic Translators and Exchange Schemas, Web Services) • Enable Role, Responsibility, Resource Alignment • Provide, Steward, and Export America’s Data Assets

  31. How It All Fits Together • Producers, users steward America’s data assets • NSDI - the infrastructure • Geospatial One-Stop - a Presidential initiative to complete the infrastructure • I-Teams - a process to help produce and steward data • National Map, Census Modernization, NILS, MMI - Federal programs using the I-Team process to produce products to fulfill essential national missions • The products are available through and become part of the infrastructure.

  32. How It All Fits Together Applications - Homeland Security, E-Gov, Everything Else NSDI • Integrated View Queries extract info from diverse sources Buildings Roads Images Targets Boundaries ...
