Geospatial One-Stop and The National Map
Tools for Data Access
Rob Dollison [email protected]
1. Objective of the Initiative
Geospatial One-Stop (GOS)
Provide online discovery and access to geospatial resources (data, applications, web sites) across all levels of government
Develop standards and models to support the exchange of data and facilitate web services
Promote partnerships among Federal, state, and local agencies
Reduce redundant investments and facilitate cost sharing
Make it easier, faster and less expensive to find and use geospatial data
Geospatial One-Stop Portal
2. GOS Summary & Background
Two E-Government Geospatial Initiatives Geospatial One-Stop (technical geographic component) Geospatial Line of Business (Fed policy & services component)
Geospatial One-Stop USGS serves as the Managing Partner The National Geospatial Program (NGP) office uses GOS to
bring increased visibility and implementation of the NSDI
