Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)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.

National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

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.

What is Geospatial One Stop? 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)

GeoSpatial One Stop TasksGeoSpatial 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

Task 1 Framework Standards Development

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

Task 1ANSI Standards ProcessTask 1ANSI 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

Module 2 Inventory/Document existing Federal agency framework datasets and publish metadata to

clearinghouse

Module 3 Inventory/Document planned acquisition data and

publish metadata to clearinghouse

GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks 2&3GeoSpatial One Stop Tasks 2&3

Task 2- Existing DataInventory/Documentation

Task 2- Existing DataInventory/Documentation

Stage 1 All existing federal national coverage framework datasets

Stage 2 All existing federal regional/ local framework datasets

Stage 3 State and local framework datasets

Task 3Planned Acquisition DataTask 3Planned Acquisition Data

Federal agencies post planned acquisition data information for capital asset projects

On-line “clearinghouse” to manage cross-agency information.

· 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

· OGC Technology Insertion Project for Portal (alpha version scheduled for May)

Data services Past and Future 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

Data Bases

Geospatial One-Stop Portal ConceptGeospatial One-Stop Portal Concept Portal is an online access point for geospatial

data, maps of data, and metadata about data Distributed Information: data stored at provider

sites, not in Portal Portal uses open standards for interoperability

Geospatial web service specifications Metadata and content standards

Portal builds upon NSDI Clearinghouse by providing direct access to data Web-based user interface for human access Application interface for automated GIS/DSS access

GOS Where we want to beGOS Where we want to be

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

GOS End ResultsGOS 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

GOS Web portal provides access to standardized distributed data services
