  3. Where the GIO Fits at EPA • New position at EPA • Reports to the CIO/Assistant Administrator for Office of Environmental Information (OEI) • Virtual staff, leverage resources across OEI, Regions, and Programs

  4. Roles & Responsibilities • Build geospatial partnerships internally and externally • Provide geospatial leadership for EPA • Explore geospatial technologies • Work toenhance geo-temporal capabilities enabling all EPA offices to quickly generate, share, and USE necessary geospatial data (Geospatial Program)

  5. Goals • Enhance EPA’s ability to make decisions using geospatial data • Improved ability to discover and access data and services • More effective deployment/employment of analytical products • Maximize return on investment in technology • Enterprise Solutions to Common processes • Coordinated Data Purchases • Enterprise Licensing Agreements • Data Management Solutions

  6. EPA GIO Priorities • Data • Access and Availability • Foster Communication and Partnerships April 28, 2004

  7. Foster Communication and Partnerships • Regional visits • OEI Geospatial Team • Geospatial Program website • GIO - GISWG Steering Committee Chair • FGDC and Geospatial One Stop • Federal GIS WG • Geospatial Advisory Council • States – NSGIC, Network Grants

  8. Data and Access Enterprise Architecture – What does it look like? For EPA ?

  9. Data • Data Architecture “Profile” • Data and Metadata Entities, Classes and Flows • “schematic” • Data Management Plan (“data grid”) • Improve ability to FIND AND ACCESS sources • Metadata • Standards compliant/known quality (FGDC) • What is its appropriate use?

  10. DataEnterprise License Agreements (ELAs) • Working Capital Fund Service ’05 • Geospatial Tools and Data. • Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) • TeleAtlas/Geographic Data Technology (GDT) • CBP coordinate payments for ELs through R3 WCF service agreement account • Ordering/Help Desk Service through central support desk at RTP • For More information • http://intranet.epa.gov/rtpgis/esriepaela.html • Gregory Gwaltney, 202 566-1710 • Matt Leopard, Chief of Information Services and Support Branch, OEI on 202 566-1698

  11. Data Benefits of ELAs Both ELAs are accessible to any EPA staff or contractors acting on behalf of EPA
