Action Areas • Forging Partnerships with Purpose • Making Framework Real • Communicating the Message A geospatial strategy for the nation
Forging Partnerships With Purpose Goal: • By 2010, a governance structure that includes representatives of all stakeholder groups guides the development of the NSDI.
Objectives • By 2005, options for restructuring the FGDC to make it more effective and inclusive are identified, evaluated and acted upon. • By 2005, agreements are in place to facilitate participation of the private sector and utility industry in building the NSDI. • By 2007, twenty tribes are engaged and contributing to the development of the NSDI. • By 2007, over fifty state/territory coordinating councils are in place and routinely contributing to the governance of the NSDI. • By 2008, ten non-geospatial national organizations are engaged in and contributing to the NSDI.
Making Framework Real Goal: • By 2010, nationally coordinated programs that include collection, documentation, access, and utilization of data are in place for generating the framework data themes.
Objectives • By 2005, American National Standards (ANS) for framework data themes are approved, adopted, and implemented. • By 2006, FGDC member organizations use FGDCaccepted metadata standards and publish to the Geospatial One-Stop portal. • By 2006, consensus-based standards and Web protocols for access to framework data are adopted and used by Federal, state and local agencies. • By 2007, 50 percent of the 133 urban areas have data for all framework themes. • By 2008, American National Standards (ANS) for additional data themes of national significance as identified in revised OMB Circular A-16 are adopted by Federal departments and independent agencies.
Communicating the Message Goal: • By 2010, the NSDI is recognized across the nation as the primary mechanism for assuring access to reliable geospatial data.
Objectives • By 2005, a comprehensive business case that demonstrates the value of geographic data to government, business and academia is compiled and articulated. • By 2005, a strategic communications plan is developed and implemented. • By 2006, training and education programs are in place to support implementation of framework standards and national initiatives to develop the NSDI.
FGDC Next Steps Mobilize for Implementation • Select Action Teams • Develop Project Plans • Develop Monitoring System
Steering Committee Actions • Endorse goals and objectives as outlined for a national geospatial strategy. • Renew the commitment of departments and independent agencies to coordinate geospatial activities and resources.
