Background • VGIN 5 Year Strategic Plan identified the need for a GIS Clearinghouse • Through GIS Clearinghouse work group efforts, AGOL identified as the solution for Virginia • Transitions: Metadata portal to Arc. GIS Online (AGOL) www. vita. virginia. gov 3

What Goes into a GIS Clearinghouse? • “Authoritative Data” – what does it mean? – Formal definition – Applied/practical definition – If an agency creates and maintains a GIS data layer to support their business needs, then that agency is the source and business owner of an authoritative GIS data layer www. vita. virginia. gov 4

Proposed Structure of the GIS Clearinghouse Network Structure Makes use of the ESRI Entitlement Program A virtual clearinghouse composed of many Arc. GIS Online instances, tied together using content groups www. vita. virginia. gov Locality State Agency Locality VGIN State Agency Locality 5

How Do We Create the Network? Implementation Plan 1. Each agency sets up their own Arc. GIS Online 2. They author and share their authoritative data on their site 3. They share the posted authoritative data with groups on the Virginia GIS Clearinghouse – – thematic content groups: Parcels, Elevation, Environment, Transportation, etc. User category groups: local governments, state agencies, federal agencies, partners, etc. (for restricted access) www. vita. virginia. gov 6
