  3. Resource Information Management DivisionNational Information Services CenterOffice of the Chief Information Officer A Collaborative Services Culture for Managing Resource Information The RIM Challenge • What is it? • Who’s on first? • Where is it going? • The legacy, present, and future 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  4. Resource Information Management DivisionNational Information Services CenterOffice of the Chief Information Officer Sidebars • Buzz word/BS Bingo • Confuseduser Sayings • Stovepipe Analogies 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  5. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? Confuseduser says:So many stovepipes, but where is the wok? 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  6. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? Resource Information Management • Not a new idea! • A more comprehensive approach • Improving coordination, collaboration, and communication • Bringing together communities • Revisiting requirements • Defining services • Evolving applications and systems • Bridging differences/filling gaps 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  7. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? Analogy: The Food Court at the Mall of the Universe • Many restaurants with common requirements: tables, chairs, staff, stoves, ovens, food, supplies, etc. • A few uncommon ones: flame-broilers, live lobsters, specialty wares (e.g., that wok!), etc. • Restaurants/customers come and go, but the infrastructure andpartners are unaffected. 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  8. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? Vision for RIM in the NPS GIS • Well-organized, NPS-wide community • Variable program participation Digital Information Services (DIS) • Conceptually two program areas:1. Digital Information Management2. Library Services • No well-organized, formal community • Many sep. programs efforts 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  9. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? NPS GIS Program • GIS Council (GISC) • Broad Representation • Collaborative Program Management • Base Budget Management • Enterprise GIS Subcommittee • GPS/Mobile Mapping Subcommittee • Heritage Assets Subcommittee • Parks GIS Coordinators Group • Remote Sensing Subcommittee 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  10. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? NPS DIS Program Plans • DIS Council (DISC) • Broad Representation • Collaborative Program Management • Library Subcommittee • Image/Digital Photo Subcommittee • Document and Media Subcommittee • Parks Dig. Info. Managers Group 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  11. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhat is it? Digital Information Management • Digital Information = metadata and associated digital files (e.g., photos, docs., other media and content) • Metadata Management • Image Management • [Published] Document Management • Enterprise DIM Repositories (e.g., Data Store, Focus, and E-TIC) • Cross-repository Searching 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  12. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWho’s on First? The Legacy • Many programs and projects have collected resource information • Few systematic approaches • Many stovepipe applications • Much has been lost, orphaned, neglected, or of poor quality • Little sharing; much repeated work • GIS, I&M, ITC, and TIC initiate data/information management 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  13. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWho’s on First? National Park ServiceU.S. Department of the Interior The (Stovepipe) Legacy • NPS Data Store (and predecessors) • NPS Focus Digital Library and Research Station • NPS Voyager Library Catalog • TIC Amoeba • Bibliographies • NR/NatureBib, CRBIB, GRBIB, PaleoBib, others • InsideNPS, NPS.GOV, websites • NPS Interactive Mapping Center • Many other efforts 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  14. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWho’s on First? The Present • NPS.GOV’s Photo Gallery • NR Integrated Resource Management Applications (IRMA) • Resource Information Management Division applications and programs • Technical Information Center’s E-TIC • Opportunity/Challenge to leverage these projects for a more broadly integrated, customer-focused approach 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  15. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhere is it going? The Future? • Improved communication, coordination and collaboration • Sustainable, standards-based data and services • Web service tiers on all data resources and repositories • Highly adaptable and reusable thin-client user interfaces • Formal EA/SOA/ITIL approaches to maximize business value 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  16. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhere is it going? Confuseduser says: Think locally, act collaboratively. Next Steps 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference

  17. The Resource Information Management ChallengeWhere is it going? Next Steps Work Toward the Vision • Improve governance/communication: • Charter the DIS Council • Organize DIS Subcommittees • Document user requirements • Collaborate on Services • Develop/implement standards • Embrace ITIL and SOA • Plan and publish services 2008 GIS & Data Management Conference
