Spatial Data, Issues, Data Formats & Data Models Scoping Exercise Identify Datasets that are available (Partners) Identify Other Datasets Identify Gaps Data Formats Data Availability Data Models e.g. ArcGIS Marine Data Model (may be important to determine where LNS fits amongst other projects?); ArcHydro Data Model (used for managing fish and aquatic data) – (gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc03/p1071.pdf) Issues surrounding access to and use of spatial data e.g. licenses, copyright 9

18. Online GIS Functionality Navigational e.g. Pan, Zoom, Fade/Blend Analytical e.g. overlay, buffering, clustering, measure distance/area, identify Visualisation tools e.g. data exploration and mapping (including Guidelines to Effective Mapping) Animation Hotlinks e.g. to images, documents, Wiki etc…. Export e.g. to Google Earth (KML/KMZ) Metadata Records Data Download (if possible) Data Upload (adding data to the ‘database’) Map Output e.g. JPEGs, Reports Educational/Training Tools 18

19. Development Plan & Timeline Online Mapping/GIS Template (circulated in December 2009) to provide information to help us to begin to acquire spatial datasets, identify gaps, consider data models, identify requirements of Partners/ Stakeholders begin development etc… Acquire spatial datasets for development of Online Mapping/GIS demonstrator (for March 2010) Circulate Online Mapping/GIS Proposal Document (January/February 2010) Develop demonstrator in time for March Launch Event (January 2010 – March 2010) to be embedded in the LNS Website Continue development of the Online Mapping/GIS Portal 19
