3. GOS Goal easier, faster and less expensive access to geospatial data Establish an online portal to geospatial data – with an interactive index to geospatial data holdings at the Federal and non-Federal levels Develop standards and models to support the exchange of framework datasets to facilitate web services, Promote partnerships among Federal, state, and local agencies for planned geospatial data collections.

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

14. Current Publication Options Users may contribute metadata one of three ways: 1. Register their existing XML metadata collection for harvesting into the GOS metadata repository 2. Upload metadata as FGDC-XML to the geodata.gov site 3. Enter FGDC metadata into a form at geodata.gov and they are stored and indexed there

15. 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

16. 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.

17. Harvesting Metadata GOS Required Content: Originator Date Title Abstract Purpose Time period Progress Maintenance 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 Email

18. Harvesting Requirements Z39.50- Isite Check version. New release implements Unique ID. Verify if unique ID has been implemented in each metadata Once harvested, subsequent harvests checks update date for updated metadata.

20. Enabling Harvesting Register Harvest Site

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

23. Current Publication Options Users may contribute metadata one of three ways: 1. Register their existing metadata collection to be harvested into the GOS metadata repository 2. Upload metadata as FGDC XML to the geodata.gov site 3. Enter FGDC metadata into a form at geodata.gov and they are stored and indexed there

24. 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

25. Current Publication Options Users may contribute metadata one of three ways: 1. Register their existing metadata collection to be harvested into the GOS metadata repository 2. Upload metadata as FGDC XML to the geodata.gov site 3. Enter FGDC metadata into a form at geodata.gov and they are stored and indexed there

26. Data Entry Form Those without an implemented metadata tool and anticipate only a few records to be published to geodata.gov may use the online entry form to collect an abbreviated FGDC metadata for hosting at geodata.gov

27. Data Partnership Discovery Through One-Stop

28. GeoData Partnership Opportunities (Planned Data Acquisitions) Federal agencies required to post data acquisitions on geospatail-one-stop.gov to encourage data partnership and fiscal responsibility 2003 Budget threshold- $1,000,000 2004 Budget threshold- $500,000 2005 Budget threshold- In “Status” field enter “Planned” Budget information is encouraged but not required.
