State Update Presentations State of Kansas 2012 MAGIC GIS Clearinghouse Summit Sioux Falls, SD EROS Data Center
Clearinghouse Services • Q1: What type of services do you provide? • Data archival • Data distribution • Web services (WMS, WFS, ArcGIS, Imagery) • Database development/area integration • Cartographic development • Metadata development • Application development • Application hosting • Geospatial data inventory • Coordination/outreach • Training • All of the above, except training. Archival, distribution, and web services are our primary functions. Database development & integration is a growing service area. Application development is performed on as-needed basis. We’ve pulled back from previous level-of-effort on application development due to long-term maintenance needs.
Funding • Q2: How are those services funded? • The clearinghouse is funded through an annual contract with the State of Kansas Office of Information Technology Services (OITS). • All database archival, integration, and distribution services are viewed to be part of the core function of the clearinghouse and are provided free-of-charge. • Custom application development is viewed as a secondary service that does not always have a broad-scope strategic impact; therefore this is a fee-for-service activity.
Challenges • Q3: What is your greatest Clearinghouse challenge at this time? • Staff-to-workload ratio – which basically comes down to funding. • Kansas OneMap
Backup architecture • Q4: What is your backup architecture – does it include written policies? • Backup server presence located at AGIO in Little Rock, AR. Working on standing up new hardware that will be located at the KU Computer Center.
Database Development & Integration • Q5: Does your clearinghouse support database development projects that involve the integration of local/regional data sets? • Statewide Tax Units Database • Kansas Statewide Broadband Initiative • Limited progress on local road centerline data integration
Inventory • Q6: Have you implemented a GIS data inventory tool within your state? • Yes, Ramona. • A statewide effort was conducted from 2008-2010 in coordination with the Kansas Adjutant General’s Department to inventory all counties.
