Geospatial Technology Integration Study Team Report Overview
Geospatial Technology Integration Study Team Report Overview Co-Chairs Leslie Cone, BLM Ken Boyko, USGS
Geospatial Technology Integration Study Team • The charge to develop a high level technical vision, “modernization blueprint”, and system integration plan for the National Geospatial Program Office (NGPO) systems: – The National Map – FGDC – GEO-Data Explorer – The National Atlas
Special Operations EGIM GOS Portal
Team Membership • Co-Chairs: – Leslie Cone, BLM – Ken Boyko, USGS
• Members: – Leslie Armstrong, USGS – Deb Green, FWS – David Duran, NPS – George Heine, BLM – Dave Greenlee, USGS
Team Membership (cont.) • Technical Advisors – Carl Reed, Open Geospatial Consortium – Clint Brown, ESRI – Don Chambers, ESRI – Tom Barclay, Microsoft – Learon Dalby, NSGIC – Bruce Harrison, NSGIC
Assumptions for Study Team – Initial high-level technical vision and “modernization Blueprint” submitted to NGPO Core Team on December 15, 2004 – Involvement of broader geospatial community will primarily occur after submission of initial report – Recommendations compliant with Federal Enterprise Architecture – “To Be” architecture implementation will maximize use and reuse of existing software components (COTS, Open Source)
Vision of Desired State – NGPO should lead the way in modernizing the traditional role as the civilian National Mapping Agency of the United States – NGPO should build and maintain a modern national map database for the country (compiled through partnerships) This modern map should be a national GIS database suitable for multiple purposes – The next generation of NGPO programs should be implemented as a comprehensive information system with three key elements: data creation, data management and data dissemination
Vision of Desired State (cont.) – USGS must have primary responsibilities for all three parts and should collaborate with key partners and data producers in federal, state, and local governments as well as in research and private organizations. – Information requirements must be multipurpose to meet the needs of a number of organizations.
