  2. GEB Work Group Fact Sheet Effort • Background • The fact sheets were developed to show use case or solution examples of successful geo-enabled projects • What • The GEB Work Group provides an on-going process/forum for sharing agency examples of best practices and use cases in applying geospatially-enabled approaches to agency business. • Why • To assist the government program managers (and additional audiences) to more easily understand the value of and role of geospatial thinking and tools in their everyday business functions. • What’s in them- • Examples that provide a clear line of sight to organizational outcomes, benefits, return on investment, and results.

  3. Use Cases: Fact Sheet Update Use Cases Best Practices Sharing and Outreach

  4. Fact Sheet Examples • NEPA Assist • FEMA Enterprise Geospatial Services

  5. Background • Geo-Enabled Work Group (GEB) Recent Activities • Use Cases • Best Practices • Sharing and Outreach Activities

  6. GEB Work Group Recent Activities The GEB Work Group has been profiling examples of successful geospatial technology implementations in the federal government and identifying trends, commonalities, and best practices. The GEB Work Group then shares these examples and best practices with federal agencies, partners, and the general public.

  7. Review of Use Cases Use Cases Best Practices • Interviewed and developed use cases and fact sheets for 13 agencies (to date) • CDC used GIS to aid relief after the Myanmar Cyclone • HUD provides crucial address validation with geocoding • BLM's NILS GeoCommunicator converts coordinates from latitude/longitude to township/range and vice-versa • DOJ's MAPS program allows law enforcement officials to map crime and use GIS tools to predict where a criminal may strike • FEMA created an Enterprise GIS Office that coordinates GIS and provides professional and technical GIS services Sharing and Outreach

  8. Use Case: USDA's CLU Data Layer Use Cases Best Practices • USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) • Mission: support American agriculture through resource conservation, disaster response and stabilization of farm income • Common Land Unit (CLU) Data Layer • Accurate maps of farm land and crops are critical for FSA • Over 7 years, FSA digitized 2 million+ land records from 2,300+ offices around the country • FSA compiled records into a central enterprise wide database using ArcGIS/SDE tools • Benefits of CLU • Numerous authorized stakeholders productively make use of data • Centralized data and streamlined visualization process leads to significant cost and time savings Continued Outreach

  9. Best Practices Use Cases Best Practices • The GEB Best Practices document describes lessons, trends, and benefits observed in use cases • Includes a survey of existing best practice reports to augment GEB research • Some Key Themes and Observations • Focus on interoperability and reuse • Increasing role of Enterprise GIS Offices/Coordination • Increasing integration of GIS tools in various environments • Use of Web 2.0 technologies to complement standard GIS interfaces • Key role for stakeholders Sharing and Outreach

  10. Sharing and Outreach Activities Use Cases Best Practices • GEB Article submitted to ArcUser • "Improving Services to Citizens through Place Based Approaches: Geo-enabling Federal Business Processes“ • Fact sheets posted to FGDC Website • http://www.fgdc.gov/geospatial-lob/factsheets • Panels completed for ESRI IUC and Fed UC conferences • Pursuing additional publications • Federal Computer Week, Government Computer News, and Government Executive Sharing and Outreach
