  1. Geospatial Initiatives: How They Fit Together October 23, 2002 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

  2. Base Geographic Information – the Common Goal Circular A-16 E-Government N S D I GeoSpatial One Stop The National Map

  3. National Spatial Data Infrastructure • The vision of the NSDI: • To assure that spatial data from multiple sources (Federal, State, and local governments, academia, and the private sector) are widely available and easily integrated to enhance knowledge and understanding of our physical and cultural world.

  4. NSDI Components • Framework Data • Standards • Metadata • Clearinghouse • Partnerships

  5. Circular A-16 • Describes the effective and economical use and management of spatial data assets in the digital environment for the benefit of the government and the nation. • Affirms and describes the NSDI as the technology, policies, standards, human resources, and related activities necessary to acquire, process, distribute, use, maintain, and preserve spatial data.

  6. Circular A-16 • Describes the management and reporting and reporting requirements of Federal agencies in the acquisition, maintenance, distribution, use and preservation of spatial data by the Federal Government. • Establishes the FGDC as the interagency coordinating body for NSDI-related activities.

  7. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) • A US Federal Interagency committee responsible for facilitating geospatial related activities and implementation of the NSDI across the Federal government • 18 Federal agencies are members • Cooperate and coordinate with organizations from state, local and tribal governments, the academic community, and the private sector.

  8. FGDC Responsibilities • Plan for nationwide population of geospatial data themes • Facilitate and coordinate standards, metadata, and data clearinghouse efforts • Develop partnership programs with States, Tribes, academia, the private sector, other Federal agencies, and localities that meet the needs of users • Address human and financial resource needs

  9. Implementation-Teams • Process (and the plan) gives geospatial entities within the state credibility within executive and legislatives branches • Helps in the budget or legislative process • In Louisiana $472,000 from the state Technology Innovation Fund for LouisianaMap and I-Team administration • 35 States and DC have begun activities • Six I-Plans version 1.0 or better - MD, NJ, UT, IN, MT and AR, and three - TX, ME, and DC comprehensive strategic plans submitted

  10. Why I-Teams? • Highlights the role of spatial data as strategic assets • Holds the promise of financial benefits through resource alignment, coordination, and leveraging with Federal programs • Mechanism to document planned data collection • Provides path to offer local and state input in the development of intergovernmental mechanisms needed to implement The National Map, protect America's cities (HSIP-133 cities) and implement the NSDI

  11. President’s Management AgendaE-Government Expected Results: • Provide high quality customer service • Reduce the expense and difficulty of doing business with the government • Cut government operating costs • Provide citizens with readier access to government services • Increase access for persons with disabilities to agency web sites, and • Make government more transparent and accountable

  12. What is Geospatial One Stop? • E-Government (E-Gov) Initiative • Component of President Bush’s Management Agenda • One of 24 E-Government initiatives • Part of the Government to Government Portfolio • Department of Interior serves as the Managing Partner • Vision: the geographic component for E-Gov • Accelerate implementation of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

  13. Geospatial One Stop Project Office • Executive Director in place in November,2002 • Acting Executive Director (Myra Bambacus, NASA) • Outreach Coordinator • Contract Support • Project Support • Facilitators • Data Modeling • Requirements Analysis • FGDC Staff support

  15. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks • Establish integrated Framework Data Content Standards • Use metadata to inventory, document and publish Framework data holding in NSDI Clearinghouse • Publish metadata for planned data acquisition and update for Framework data • Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data • Establish a Federal Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network

  16. Task 1Framework Standards Development • Focus on Framework data themes • Geodetic Control (National Geodetic Survey) • Elevation (US Geological Survey) • OrthoImagery (US Geological Survey) • Hydrography (US Geological Survey) • Government Units (Census) • Cadastral (Bureau of Land Management) • Transportation (Dept. of Transportation) • Sub-themes: Roads, Rail, Transit, Air • Draft standards by 12/31/02, final by 9/30/03

  17. ANSI Standards Process • ANSI INCITS L1 Subcommittee • Open participation for all sectors • National Standard, not Federal Standard • Benefit from INCITS standards expertise • To participate sign up via www.fgdc.gov • Integrated Framework Data Content Standards • UML • XML (GML) encoding • OGC prototyping (CIPI) • ANSI Standards become basis of Geospatial Web Services

  18. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks Task 2: - Inventory Use metadata to inventory, document and publish Framework data holding in NSDI Clearinghouse Task 3: - Document Planned Data Acquistion Publish metadata for planned data acquisition and update for Framework data Task 4: - Web Mapping Services Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data

  19. Data services: Past Future

  20. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks Task 5: - Portal Establish a Federal Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network

  21. Web Browser (Thin Client) GIS Software, DSS (Thick Client) @ users Geospatial One-Stop Portal Catalog Gazetteer @ portalhost site GNIS MetadataClearinghouse WFS WMS WCS Clients Geospatial Web Services @ providerorganizations Legend: Data Features Coverages Maps Geospatial One-Stop Portal

  22. Geospatial One Stop Goal • Content and encoding requirements are simple yet useful enough that many providers adopt and serve compliant Framework data • Users are able to discover and use maps or data served and maintained by a reliable custodian • The format and structure of the information for a given theme from all providers can appear the same to all customers • Geospatial One Stop Web portal provides access to standardized distributed data services

  23. The National Map Vision • Aseamless, continually maintained, nationally consistentset of basic geographic data • Partnerships for data stewardship • Re-link topographic maps with base geographic data • Underpin Federal activities, and those of other public and private organizations • Supportintegrating, sharing, and usingspatial dataeasilyandconsistently

  24. The National Map: Characteristics • Current – continuous revision • Seamless – no arbitrary edges • Complete and consistently classified – built on the best available data • Variable resolution – accommodate local conditions • Integrated within and between themes of data – positional and logical consistency • Geographic – no cartographic generalizations • Temporal record – versioning and transactional updates • Metadata – data set and feature level

  25. The National Map: Data Content • Orthorectified imagery • Land cover • Elevation • Vector layers: • Transportation • Hydrography • Structures • Boundaries • Geographic names

  26. Geospatial OneStop and The National Map GeoSpatial One Stop Orthoimagery Elevation & bathymetry Hydrography Transportation Government units Geodetic control Cadastral Land cover Geog. names The National Map

  27. The National Map: Operations and Access • Build initial version from best available data • Work with State and local governments, as well as Federal agencies, to keep data current • Based on networked, distributed collection of databases • Around-the-clock Internet access • Available in the public domain • Respond to requests for paper topographic maps and digital data

  28. The National Map: User Options Orthorectified imagery Elevation Transportation Hydrography Structures Boundaries Geographic names Land cover

  29. The National Map: Partners’ Roles • Federal:identify needs and collaborate on data (NIMA, NOAA, Census, FEMA, …) • State, Regional, and Local:coordinate consortia, identify changes and provide updates, and collaborate on data • Private Industry:provide tools, open standards, and data; conduct research • Academia:provide training and conduct research • USGS:catalyst, collaborator, integrator, producer when needed, archive, guarantor
