I-Teams Stewarding America’s Data Assets A Briefing for New Hampshire November 7, 2002 FGDC/Council for Excellence in Government
An Essential Need “In importance, information resources were second only to the courage of first responders and to mature leadership.” Al Leidner NYC Geospatial Coordinator
Core Challenges • Avoid Swamping By Data Tsunami • Access Data Immediately When Needed • Assure Data Accuracy, Timeliness, Quality • Budget Shortfalls • Adapt Culture to Tech Changes • Herd Cats
What Do We Need? • 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
Three Parts to the Solution • Infrastructure • Process - Collaboration and Coordination • Products
Wild Fire Management EmergencyResponse Issues Affecting Nations, Communities & Citizens - Happen in Places Population Growth Washington, DC - Baltimore
Spatial Data Infrastructures Regional/Multi-National National Global State, local Source: Henry Tom
Demographic Flood Zones Land Ownership Landcover Transportation Framework/Core Data Surface Waters Boundaries Biological Elevation Economic Geodetic Control Soils Imagery Access, Sharing, Interoperability and Relationships to Build Once, Use Many Times Other Thematic Data Source KY Office of Geographic Information
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 • Mission-critical national initiatives need the same data • Unprecedented opportunity for collaboration to align roles, responsibilities, and resources • Yet, enormous challenge
Geographic Network Data for Homeland Security Command & Control Risk Assessment Other Non-Traditional Mitigation Preparedness Response Recovery DoS FEMA DOJ NIMA DOE USDA Many Others DoD CIA FBI/INS FAA DOI NSA DIA States States States States States States Cities Counties Special Districts Others
The I-Team Initiative • A Joint Project • OMB • FGDC • The Council for Excellence in Government • NSGIC • OGC • NACo, ICMA and other strategic partners • Derived from The OMB Information Initiative • Addresses Institutional & Financial Barriers • Opportunity to Engage in and Strengthen the Process of Intergovernmental Coordination
I-Team Implementation Strategy I-Teams Financing Solutions Team Federal Partners Team FGDC and OMB Technology Advisory Group
WHAT IS THE I-TEAM PROCESS? • A Collaborative Process that Effectively and Efficiently Organizes the Way We Produce and Steward A Portion of America’s Data Assets • Brand Name to Help Build Awareness
WHAT IS AN I-TEAM ? • Locally Formed, Interdependent • Inclusive, Voluntary, Open • State, Local, Federal, Tribal, Academic, Private Sector • Expanded from Existing Collaborations
What Do I-Teams Do? • Address Institutional Barriers • Identify most effective ways to collect, maintain and distribute Data • Determine business needs, inventory data assets, identify gaps, estimate investment cost • 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 • Plans Used by OMB, Agencies, OHS
I-Team Role Essential and Continuing • Aid State/local participation in Geospatial One-Stop • Work with OGC on Cutting Edge of Technology (Semantic Translators and Exchange Schemas, Web Services) • Help OMB and Agencies in Budget Process • Enable Role, Responsibility, Resource Alignment • Provide, Steward, and Export America’s Data Assets
Why Do States Become I-Teams ? • They are already engaged in the process • It is a way to address driving issues like HS • The Plan and the Process provide Credibility within Executive and Legislative Branches • It highlights the Role of Data as Strategic Assets • It holds the promise of increased financing through resource alignment and coordination • Strength in unity and numbers
Leverage For All Partners I-Team I-Team Financial Solutions Team Technical Advisory Group Common Financial Issues Common Technical Issues I-Team Leadership I-Team I-Team Common Institutional Issues Federal Partners
Part of An Integrated Strategy Data Process Institutional Institutional Technical Political Financial 3R Alignment America’s Data
Overcoming Barriers • Institutional I-Teams Coordination on Driving National Issues • Technical Geospatial One-Stop OGC Interoperability • Political Executive/Legislative Branch Awareness • Financial Cost/Benefit, ROI Resource Alignment Multi-Agency Budgets
How It All Fits Together • Producers, users steward America’s data assets • NSDI - the infrastructure • Geospatial One-Stop - a Presidential initiative to accelerate completion of the infrastructure • I-Teams - a process to help produce and steward data • The National Map, Census Modernization, FEMA NFIP, HSIP - Programs that can use I-Teams to produce products to fulfill essential national missions and foster coordination • The products are available through and become part of the infrastructure to use for HS, EMS . .
