Working as One to Implement the NSDI FGDC GOS Working as One to Implement the NSDI FGDC GOS Develops:Technology,Policies,Criteria,Standards Promoting geospatial data sharing At all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and academia. Makes data discovery and access: Easier Easier Faster, and Faster, and Less expensive Less expensive For all levels of government and the public to access

GOS Goals Provide an online access portal to geospatial data, Provide an online access portal to geospatial data, Develop standards and models to support the exchange of framework datasets to facilitate web services, Create an interactive index to geospatial data holdings at the Federal and non-Federal levels, Create an interactive index to geospatial data holdings at the Federal and non-Federal levels, Promote partnerships among Federal, state, and local agencies for planned geospatial data collections.

GOS Metadata Geospatial Data: Downloads- Live Maps, Portals, Web Services Accessing Existing Metadata –Harvesting Metadata –Uploading Metadata (XML) Enriching Metadata for GOS

Current Publication Options Users may contribute metadata one of three ways: Users may contribute metadata one of three ways: –Enter FGDC metadata into a form at geodata.gov and they are stored and indexed there –Upload metadata as FGDC XML to the geodata.gov site –Register their existing metadata collection to be harvested into the GOS metadata repository

Harvesting Metadata An automated scheduled process for collecting new and updated metadata from a variety of metadata repositories. –Z39.50 metadata clearinghouse node –ArcIMS metadata service –Web Accessible Folder –Open Archive Initiative (OAI) metadata service

Harvesting Metadata How does it work? First retrieval- all metadata records with GOS required content are retrieved Previously harvested repository- only updated metadata retrieved. Validation –Requires GOS minimum metadata –Uses FGDC metatags for validation Publishing –All successfully validated metadata is published in geodata.gov.

Harvesting Metadata GOS Required Content: OriginatorDateTitleAbstractPurpose Time period ProgressMaintenance Bounding Box Keywords Information Derived from Registration: Information Derived from Registration: Contact Person or Organization Contact Person or Organization Address type, Address Address type, Address Phone number

Harvestable Repositories Isite servers- newest Isite version Web Accessible Folder (WAF) Internet Mapping Service –Arc IMS must run SDE with Oracle Open Archives Initiative (OAI)

Harvesting Requirements Document Unique ID Z Z –Verify if unique ID has been implemented in each metadata –Isite Check for new release, new release implements unique ID (WAF), OAI, IMS Not an Issue

Harvesting Requirements: Date/Update Date Z39.50 –Once harvested, subsequent harvests checks update date for updated metadata. WAF, OAI, IMS WAF, OAI, IMS –Not an issue

Harvesting Requirements ISO Standard Keywords Metadata published and searchable in geodata.gov Insert ISO theme keyword in new metadata –See attachment Use GOS cross-walk table to translate your local keyword(s) to ISO keyword. See GOS registration form.

Upload XML Metadata If you have access to a metadata editor such as ArcCatalog but do not have a Z39.50 server or ArcIMS Metadata Server you can upload a small set of FGDC metadata to geodata.gov

Data Entry Form If you do not have any FGDC metadata and anticipate only a few records to be published to geodata.gov you can use the online entry form to collect an abbreviated FGDC metadata for hosting at geodata.gov

Data Partnership Discovery Through One-Stop

GeoData Partnership Opportunities (Planned Data Acquisitions) Encouraging geodata partnership is the goal. –2003 Budget threshold- $1,000,000 –2004 Budget threshold- $500,000 Create metadata using metadata tool –In “Status” field enter “Planned” Budget information is encouraged but not required.

Planned Data Acquisitons Geodata Partnership Opportunities How publishing Planned Data Acquisitons can help you: Find Partners Reduce your data costs Give your programs visibility Receive GOS Technical Assistance

Portal- New for 2004 Now Later Portal Statistics Standards, Tools, Resources link, lower left –9500 Portal Publications –500 Live Mapping Services –Per day 6,000 unique users 16,000 seaches Full-text search capability and results ranking Channel steward functionality implementation Implement GOS catalog with local repository (mini- GOS) for metadata loaded thru GOS forms. Map viewer enhancements. Version 2 Portal Requirements –public review April 2004 –RFP June/July –Award before end FY
