1. Geospatial Information One-Stop E-Government Workshop URISA Chicago 2002 Milo Robinson

2. Outline Background Current Status/Overview –Focus on standards development Where is GeoSpatial One Stop going?

3. What is Geospatial One Stop? E-Government (E-gov) Initiative –Component of President Bush’s Management Agenda –One of 24 E-Government initiatives –Part of the Government to Government Portfolio Vision: the geographic component for e-gov Accelerate implementation of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

4. National Spatial Data Infrastructure The vision of the NSDI: to assure that spatial data from multiple sources (Federal, State, and local governments, academia, and the private sector) are widely available and easily integrated to enhance knowledge and understanding of our physical and cultural world.

5. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) A US Federal Interagency committee responsible for facilitating geospatial related activities and implementation of the NSDI across the Federal government –18 Federal agencies are members (soon to be 19) Cooperate and coordinate with organizations from state, local and tribal governments, the academic community, and the private sector.

6. FGDC Agency Responsibilities Plan for nationwide population of geospatial data themes Develop partnership programs with States, Tribes, academia, the private sector, other Federal agencies, and localities that meet the needs of users Address human and financial resource needs Facilitate and coordinate standards, metadata, and data clearinghouse efforts

7. Geospatial One Stop Governance US Office of Management and Budget oversees the direction of the E-Government Initiatives Department of Interior serves as the Managing Partner for Geospatial One Stop Federal Geographic Data Committee supports the Geospatial One Stop project implementation

11. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks 1.Establish integrated Framework Data Content Standards 2.Use metadata to inventory, document and publish Framework data holding in NSDI Clearinghouse 3.Publish metadata for planned data acquisition and update for Framework data 4.Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data 5.Establish a Federal Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network

12. Task 1 Framework Standards Development Focus on Framework data themes –Geodetic Control (National Geodetic Survey) –Elevation (US Geological Survey) –OrthoImagery (US Geological Survey) –Hydrography (US Geological Survey) –Government Units (Census) –Cadastral (Bureau of Land Management) –Transportation (Dept. of Transportation) Sub-themes: Roads, Rail, Transit, Air

13. ANSI Standards Process ANSI INCITS L1 Subcommittee –Open participation for all sectors –National Standard, not Federal Standard –Benefit from INCITS standards expertise To participate sign up: www.geo-one-stop.gov Integrated Framework Data Content Standards –UML –XML (GML) encoding OGC prototyping (CIPI) ANSI Standards become basis of Geospatial Web Services

14. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks Task 2: Use metadata to inventory, document and publish Framework data holding in NSDI Clearinghouse Task 3: Publish metadata for planned data acquisition and update for Framework data

15. Data services Past and Future human request handling ftp data access web discovery and order documentation of local content models use of proprietary formats little adherence to enforceable standards data translation largely the responsibility of the customer Providers of Theme X customer automated ad-hoc requests data and mapping via web services web discovery, portrayal, and order or access support of common content models and extended models support of neutral encoding methods data packages can be validated against a common reference data translation shared between provider and customer Providers of Theme X middleware common packaging services customer

16. GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks Task 4&5: ·Prototype and deploy enhanced data access and web mapping services for Federal Framework data and design Portal ·Establish a National Portal as a logical extension to the NSDI Clearinghouse Network ·Jeff de La Beaujardiere, NASA Task Lead ·OGC Technology Insertion Project

17. Current Model Data Producer Data User Data User Data User Data User Data User NSDI Gateway Portal

18. Future Model Local Governments The National Map State Governments Tribal Governments Other Federal Agency DoD Commercial Sector Local Users DoD Users Tribal Users State Users National Policy Makers Commercial Users Civilian Users International Users Federal Users NSDI One-Stop Portal replicated access points Services Data Bases

19. Geospatial One Stop Goal Users are able to discover and use maps or data served and maintained by a reliable custodian The format and structure of the information for a given theme from all providers can appear the same to all customers Content and encoding requirements are simple yet useful enough that many providers adopt and serve compliant Framework data Data and map services are authoritative, reliable, and are referenced by many customers instead of setting up duplicate services elsewhere

20. Geospatial One Stop End Results Standards for Framework layers are completed and deployed Published planned spatial data activities. Federal agencies working with State, local, and commercial data publishers to reduce overlapping efforts Geospatial One Stop Web portal provides access to standardized distributed data services
