Geospatial One Stop Purpose of the project Making

Geospatial One Stop Purpose of the project: • Making it: – Easier – Faster – Less expensive For all levels of government and the public to access geospatial information.

Framework. Standards Draft Standards available at www. geo-one-stop. gov Elevation Rail Roads Air Transportation Geospatial One-Stop Base Standard Waterways Cadastral Hydrography Transit Geodetic Control Governmental Orthoimagery Units Source – INCITS/L 1

Status of Standards Available at www. geo-one-stop. gov § Base § § § § Available (preharmonization) Elevation Orthoimagery Government Units Hydrography Geodetic Control Cadastral Transportation § Roads § Rail § Air § Transit § Waterways Available Available June (revision) July (draft harmonized) Available Available

Challenges 1. Ensure adequate involvement by state and local participants. • Accomplish harmonization of draft standards by September 30 th. Need agency commitment for staff support. • Feedback on the barriers encountered both in resource and technical issues. • Increased resources focused on harmonization will ensure the highest quality product on September 30.

Inventory of Existing Geospatial Data Over 250, 000 metadata records from 12 federal NSDI Clearinghouse nodes • • NRCS BTS Census USGS • BLM • US. COE • In Process – EPA – FWS Links to 50 State Clearinghouses leveraging thousands of state and local data sets www. geo-one-stop. gov

Planned Federal FY 04 Data Acquisitions* • 55 planned acquisition projects reported • 11 projects reported budgets totaling $55. 75 million • Need to break down barriers to encourage agency reporting * $1. 0 M or greater

Building local capacity through Geo-Partnerships Expectations Incentives • Standards • Tools • Metadata • Training • Stewardship • Software • Grants Outcome: improved public services through stewardship and data sharing.

Implementing Geo-Partnerships Will Lead To: Cities Federal States Tribes Private Sector Counties Universities . . . a National Spatial Data Infrastructure

Geo-Partnerships with States • Work with NSGIC to define expectations: – Manage Portal/Clearinghouse node to share data – Maintain user inventory – Host GI Council or some coordination entity – Develop I-Plan – Adopt GOS standards

Geo-Partnerships with States • Incentives: – Federal agencies streamline geospatial grant programs – E-grants – Portal template provided to States – GOS $1. 5 M is used as seed grant funds • Benefits: – – – Establish logical data stewards Encourage local capacity Move to implementation Positive ROI GOS Board support
