Slide 1 -- February 24, 2016 RAMONA Overview

Slide 2 -- February 24, 2016 Project Goals Develop a functional and easy-to-use tool that will encourage state and local governments to inventory their data and keep their inventories up-to-date (at least 75% don’t create metadata now) Provide a tool that statewide coordination councils will get behind to prevent a proliferation of systems that can’t communicate with each other

Slide 9 -- February 24, 2016 Required Features Internet tool to inventory data (only issue is how thoroughly we document) Provide a search capability to discover data Develop stock/custom report formats Create status maps Automatically generate metadata from inventory database and post to GOS Automatically update the metadata forms when changes are made to inventory

Slide February 24, 2016 Required Features Integrate with OGC environment for automatic data discovery and access Maintain a professional directory (Rolodex) Track applications development Track potential/future data collaboration projects Provide adequate security with open architecture design

Slide February 24, 2016 Expected Headaches Unique Identifier Numbers to exchange data with Census (TED), FEMA (MIPS), NDOP, etc. Providing a comprehensive list of layers so that they are always available in “drop down” form for consistency (Currently ~259 data layers) Must “reconcile” Clearinghouse records with RAMONA records to produce meaningful status maps and management reports (1 record for 1 data set) Training curve to bring community partners (likes states or counties) on-board Quickly managing change when it’s required
