National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) California GIS Strategic PlanCREATING A CALIFORNIA SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE Excerpts from the Summary Presentation developed by:George White : CGIA Executive DirectorMichael Byrne : California GIS Council ChairMalcolm Adkins : Michael Baker Jr., Inc.
Example of Recommendations (Data) DR1: CGC and CGIA to collect/ review/ refine/ and distribute Data Sharing Best Practices template to Regional Collaboratives. DR2: CGC and CGIA to re-evaluate functionality of CaSIL to load, discover, and download framework data. DR3: CGC to evaluate, document, and promote the availability of state agency third party data licensing agreements. DR4: CGC to form a Technology Work Group to investigate the most applicable distribution model for the CA-SDI data sets. DR5: CGC to explore the use of GIS Centers and Academic Centers as data hosts. DR6: CGC to vet the concept of libraries as historical geospatial data repositories to enable future temporal analysis. DR7: CGC to pursue implementation of CA Geospatial Framework Data Plan prioritized data sets published in September 2006. Discussed approaches are 1) With funding begin development/compilation of a data set or, 2) Without funding prototype a small geographic area with most/all prioritized data sets. DR8: CGC and CGIA promote educational sessions with the Regional Collaboratives and four California URISA Chapters on the Imagery Business Plan and Best Practices Report. DR

New York State GIS Strategic Plan Case StudyConducted 2007-2008Project sponsor:NY Office of Cyber Security & Critical Infrastructure Coordination
Planning Process Overview • Objectives: transparent and inclusive process • Achieve consensus and broad-based support • Spring 2007:Kickoff & project planning • Summer/Fall 2007: Six Regional Stakeholder Meetings • Winter 2007/2008: Report Authoring • SWOT • Recommendation development • March 2008: Draft distributed for comment • To broad stakeholder community • 60+ sets of comments received • April/May 2008:Feedback incorporated • Input from Coordinating Body and CSCIC Director • May 2008: Plan “approval” • Prioritization of recommendations by Coordinating Body
SWOT and Findings • There are significant regional variations in GIS outlook and practice within New York • Strengths: • Mature coordination program within sustainable funding • Solid foundation on all 7 framework layers • National leadership in recurring, statewide orthoimagery program • Data sharing cooperative • Weaknesses: • Orthoimagery web services performance • Implementation of the data sharing cooperative • Dated holdings • Usability of web-site • Private sector is not included • Branding w/ Cyber Security & Critical Infrastructure Coordination • Data: elevation quality and county/municipal boundaries accuracy • Freedom of information law is applied inconsistently • Opportunities: • Huge demand for statewide parcels – 11 state agencies currently collect this information • Leverage ortho program’s success: new layers (e.g. wetlands), oblique imagery, 3D structures
The Recommendations • Highest Priority • Pursue statewide parcels in association with Office of Real Property • Further focus CSCIC GIS Coordination role • Re-branding from CSCIC; Foster local govts; Deploy web services • High Priority • Pursue improvements in statewide elevation data • Develop long-term program to improve statewide administrative boundaries (i.e., county and municipal boundaries) • Medium Priority • Strengthen and expand statewide orthoimagery program • Strengthen the Data Sharing Cooperative • Active DB stewardship • Improving the web-site • Explore broader membership
Regarding the Federal Government • Federal participation in the process • 5 of 162 workshop participants (3% overall), representing: • USGS (2) • FEMA Region II • US EPA (2) • Active and engaged USGS Liaison (Frank Kenney) • “Coordination is a two-way street…” “…the federal government is an important coordinating partner. While this strategic planning effort is funded by the federal government, it must be noted that, from the state’s perspective, the federal government could also do a better job coordinating its geospatial programs that interface with the states….Many separate federal agencies – including US-EPA, US-DOT, DHS and US Census - interact with the state via a variety of programs with geospatial components. While each of these agencies has a legitimate “vertical” connection to a partner state agency, these federal agencies should be encouraged to connect with the state’s lead geospatial entity on matters pertaining to geospatial technology and data.”
