Kentucky’s Geographic Information System Presented to - Council of Geographic Names Authorities October 3, 2007 Kenny Ratliff, Director Division of Geographic Information
GIS in Kentucky • Commonwealth Office of Technology • Office of Enterprise Policy and Project Management • Division of Geographic Information Mission Facilitate statewide electronic geographic data sharing and its application for streamlined decision-making, greater efficiency, public protection, and economic vitality.
What GIS is not…. • ….the “Great-All” • ….the “End-All” • ….the “Save-All”
But it is…. • ….a powerful part of the tool set for solving and addressing things related to location. GIS – A collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, storing, updating, manipulating, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. • Points (antennas, hazmat events, hydrants, etc.) • Lines (roads, rivers, pipelines, etc.) • Polygons (parcels, lakes, buffers, etc.)
Overview of GIS Data Without GIS – Kentucky Census Data
Overview of GIS Data with GIS – Kentucky Census Data
Overview of GIS Two ways to visualize Data • Raster • Satellite images • Aerial photos • Topo maps • Hillshade • Vector • Points, Lines & Polygons

Why is GIS important to KY? • Police use it to protect us • PVA’s use it to determine our property taxes • Water, sewer, electric and gas companies use it to provide our utilities • Transportation uses it to build our highways • Health Industry uses it to protect us • Social Services use it to protect our children and senior citizens • Farmers use it to produce our food • FEMA uses it to protect us from floods • Post Office uses it to deliver our mail • Homeland Security & emergency managers use it to protect us • Fuel companies use it to drill wells to supply us with fuel • UPS & Fedex use it to deliver our packages • Realty companies use it to help buy/sell our property • Companies that want to establish businesses in Kentucky use it to make location decisions • Papa Johns uses it to deliver pizzas • The list goes on and on…..
Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .GIS implementation began at NREPC (ESRI User Number: 31) • In 1982, PRIME 750 elite machine in GIS • 12 megabytes of memory, yes MB not GB! • 600 megabytes of disk space • 4 mb upgrade to 16 mb cost $12,000 • Technician soldered jumpers on the system board
Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .Data Input ?
Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .Output ? • Basically, everything was on the server . . .
Ky GIS History 1990’s . . . • Many state agencies and the Area Development Districts begin to embrace GIS technology • Northern Kentucky, LFUCG, & LOJIC create high-end implementations (urban areas) • NREPC puts a couple dozen datasets out for download on the Internet / KGS does the same • Kentucky creates a Geographic Information Advisory Council (GIAC now KyGB) to provide input and oversight regarding GIS implementation
Ky GIS History 2000 . . . • • Image data available for free downloadTopos and orthos on Kymartian • • Dozens of vector layers and raster data made available for download • • NREPC begins implementation of Kentucky’s first internet mapping site (Custom Map Objects IMS Application)
Ky GIS History 2002 . . . • • KYGEONET comes to life (ESRI’s ArcIMS Metadata Service) • • Several publishers load nearly 100 datasets within just a few months • • Kentucky’s Geospatial Data Clearinghouse becomes a reality • • Metadata is included that increased data value • • Nearly 20 IMS exist
Ky GIS History 2004 … • DGI developed a strategic plan and got buy-in from the leadership of COT • Moved the KYGEONET to DGI’s office
Ky GIS History 2005 thru today - • • KYGEONET has over 400 published items • • The resource is maintained by over a dozen “responsible” publishers • • Published 23 layers to The National Map (USGS) • • Full integration with federal Geospatial One Stop (GOS II) and the federal Geography Network • • 40+ IMS in use daily
The Commonwealth Map • Contains 28 layers of information • Is tapped for Kentucky layers to The National Map
Kentucky Event Mapping Analysis Portal (KEMAP) • Contains 148 layers of information • Password protected site • Most layers not available to the general public • Has several tools available on the dash
The Kentucky Geography Network (KYGEONET)
KyRaster • Kentucky’s Geospatial Database for Raster data • Was collectively built by GIS Staff from several state agencies • Resides in mirrored instances at Cold Harbor Computing Center • Contains all the aerial images, topographic maps, digital elevationmodels, hillshade, SPOT satellite imagery, trucolor imagery, land cover imagery, slope, and other critical raster GIS base layers • Is leveraged by nearly every state agency (that does GIS) • Drives all of the IMS applications served by state government • Is leveraged on the GIS Desktop by users in state agencies
Components of KyRaster Range from satellite imagery to DEMs to topographic maps to aerial photography
KyVector • Kentucky’s Geospatial Database for vector data • Is the master repository of vector-based (lines, polygons, and points) • Is based on all vector data that is available on the Kentucky Geography Network • Mirrors the categories on the “browse” tab of the KYGEONET • Contains full metadata records for each vector dataset • Leveraged by ArcGIS Users on the WAN • Leveraged by many IMS • Resides in mirrored instances at Cold Harbor Computing Center
