Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data Coastal Watersheds Work Group Guidelines Work Group FGDC HUC Interagency Guideline
NOAA/NOS Implementation • Pilots • Coastal delineation guidance • state/coast implementation • Assisting state groups • Workshops • Data and data manipulation • One-on-one with States
Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data Coastal Watersheds Work Group Hydro Standard Work Group Guidelines Work Group National Hydrography Framework Standard FGDC HUC unified Guideline
National Hydrography Framework Standard • Develop formal Content Standard for Hydrography. • describe a general model (a data dictionary, definitions, relationships) • application-independent, • supportsinternational standards • facilitates the exchange of data.
EGOV Initiative Geospatial One-Stop • Key points: • To provide fast, low cost, reliable access to geospatial data needed for government operations • To facilitate interactions needed for vertical missions such as Homeland Security • To establish a methodology for obtaining multi-sector input
EGOV Initiative Geospatial One-Stop • Key points (continued) • Develop and implement Framework Data content standards • Elevation • Orthoimagery • Hydrographic Data • Administrative Boundaries • Transportation Networks • Cadastre • Geodetic Control • Establish comprehensive Federal Portal • Managed by John Moeller, FGDC & Scott Cameron, DOI with great interest from Mark Foreman, OMB
