11. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Teach How to Share Data Slides and information by Susan Radke at the Berkley GeoResearch Group

12. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Learn how to find list and describe data The Federal Geographic Data Committee coordinates the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The NSDI encompasses policies, standards, and procedures for organizations to cooperatively produce and share geographic data. The 17 federal agencies that make up the FGDC are developing the NSDI in cooperation with organizations from state, local and tribal governments, the academic community, and the private sector.NSDI

13. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. What is the NSDI? National Spatial Data Infrastructure Executive Order 12906 April 13, 1994 Consistent means to share geographic data among all users NSDI is defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.

14. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. How does the NSDI Clearinghouse work? …it is a decentralized system of servers located on the Internet which contain field-level descriptions of available digital spatial data. This descriptive information, known as metadata, are collected in a standard format to facilitate query and consistent presentation across multiple participating sites. NSDI Gateway

15. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Why Metadata ? Each set of geospatial data has one record of metadata stored for it. This metadata set is the catalogue of all geospatial data associated with the node. Once the node is linked to the NSDI Clearinghouse, anyone can query the metadata on it to find information about the geospatial data associated with it. ? Each node stores numerous metadata records about all of the geospatial data associated with it. All metadata records record the description of the data in the same way.

21. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. How does the K12 Geospatial Data Clearinghouse Node work?

22. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Why is the K12 Geospatial Data Clearinghouse Node important? Enables students to prepare geospatial data in compliance with federal standards for data collection, storage, transfer and indexing. Links students and their data to worldwide geospatial data community. Provides opportunity for students to perform comparative studies using geospatial data collected by other students implementing similar geospatial studies (eg. GEODESY, Kids in Creeks, Adopt a Watershed, GREEN Rivers). Provides ongoing internet-based catalogue of K12 GIS projects.

28. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Seven Primary Information Layers Must be able to work with Standard Data Layers. Special Thanks to Ron Birk from INTERMAP for the examples.

29. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Elevation - refers to a spatially referenced vertical position above or below a datum surface – Includes: Elevations of Land Surfaces Depths below Water Surfaces

30. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Geodetic Control - provides the means for determining locations of features referenced to common, nationally used horizontal and vertical coordinate systems. –It is essential ingredient in developing a common coordinate reference for all other geographic features

35. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Digital Orthoimagery is a georeferenced image prepared from a perspective photograph or remotely sensed data in which displacements of images due to sensor orientation and terrain relief have been removed.

36. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Collect your own data Where do you find it? How do you create your own? How do I integrate the data into existing data?

37. Copyright 2000 Digital Quest Inc. Even if you link to national standards you must Make it interesting to your students! Use Local Data including pieces of all the primary data areas. –High Resolution Satellite Imagery. –Layers and Layers of GIS data –Multi spectral imagery –Use local Applications as Projects.
