GeoPlatform.gov - Call to Action

In 2010 and 2011, Federal data managers for geospatial data will move to a

portfolio management approach, creating a Geospatial Platform to support

Geospatial One-Stop, place-based initiatives, and other potential future programs.

This transformation will be facilitated by improving the governance framework to

address the requirements of State, local and tribal agencies, Administration policy,

and agency mission objectives.

Investments will be prioritized based on business needs.

The Geospatial Platform will explore opportunities for increased collaboration with

Data.gov, with an emphasis on reuse of architectural standards and technology,

ultimately increasing access to geospatial data."

President’s Budget, Fiscal Year 2011

Geospatial Platform Conceptual Model

* It is recognized that partner agencies may be both providers and customers of GeoPlatform.gov assets

GeoPlatform.govIt took only an estimated $480,000 to get the Geospatial Platform up and running.

The open-source ERMA application, uses Google Maps for its layers, was expanded toaccommodate 600 different data layers, many of which are updated in real time.

The Geospatial Platform allows the public to search and display data about:• Oil spill trajectories near the shore.• Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Team results.• Satellite interpretations for potential oil footprints. Field photos.• Wildlife observations. Closures of fisheries in federal and state waters.• Shoreline flight imagery from NOAA, NASA and EPA.• Navigational caution area for mariners. Data buoys.• Current environmental conditions.• Predicated environmental conditions.• Location of research and response vessels.• Related data, such as seafood safety, EPA monitoring and subsurface monitoring

analytical chemistry.

• The data is updated twice a day.

In early June, Geospatial Platform was launched, public site received 3.5 million hits.Since then, it has had more than 4.8 million visitors.

BackgroundBackground

2008-2009• South Carolina Geospatial Administrators

Association (SC GAA) Data Policy surveyshows lack of data policies in localgovernment

2009• SC GAA develops guidelines for the

development of policies• SC GAA and GeoMaxim/FGDC survey national

community as to successes and failures with regard todata policies

• lessons learned compiled and guidelinesdrafted

Data Access Policies

For the recordFor the record……

Data sharing is valuable becausethe more data is used the:

• better it gets via broaderQA/QC

• greater attention to yourorganization

• more opportunities to leveragedata

• fewer competing data setscreated

• more complementary data setscreated

Data Sharing SupportsData Sharing SupportsEmergency Response

If all sectors, public and private, can’t accesscritical information, lives can be lost

Economic DevelopmentIf they can’t find about you – theycan’t come spend/invest their money

PlanningBad decision-making by others can havefar-reaching effects on your community

Navigation Systems / Online MappingIf the route is wrong – you get the blame

Data Sharing AgreementsData Sharing Agreements

© The Simpsons

What Works:• Handshakes and trust

• Collaboratively developed, effective,standardized data sharingagreements

What doesn’t:

• Formal agreements that includeimprecise language, serve as road blocks toinnovative partnerships and add overhead

• Over-involvement on the part ofAdministration and Legal staff that attemptto cover all the bases

AR, MS, MD, NC,SC, WI

Poor Data DocumentationPoor Data Documentation

What Works:• Providing metadata creation

and support in return for dataaccess

• Support for community-wide metadata training andresources

What doesn’t:• Trying to create metadata for

another's data by guessing athow the data were created

NC, WI

Balancing Right to Know and ConfidentialityBalancing Right to Know and Confidentiality

What Works:

• Data standards that address privacy andsecurity issues

• Edited/generalized versions that excludesensitive content

• Public Record Laws & Data Sharing Policies thataddress geospatial & establish guidelines as to whocan access the data and how

• Recognizing that very little data istruly ‘sensitive’

• FGDC Data Access Guidelines

AR, MA, SC

http://www.fgdc.gov/policyandplanning/Access%20Guidelines.pdf

FGDC Publication:

Access to Geospatial Datain Response to SecurityConcerns

Balancing Right to Know and ConfidentialityBalancing Right to Know and Confidentiality

What Doesn’t:

• Wholesale approaches thateliminate sharing of all‘potentially’ sensitive data

• Over-involvement on the partof Administration and Legalpersonnel that attempt to coverall the bases

Maintaining Data ControlMaintaining Data ControlWhat Works:

• Earnest dialog about concernsand solutions

• Data stewards / trusted sources

• Data acknowledgement andlineage guidelines

• Data management models thatallow the use of data that ismaintained in your system

What doesn’t:

• Treating public data as a privateresource

IN, LA, NC, MetroGIS,SC

Data Misuse and ExploitationData Misuse and Exploitation

What Works:

• Metadata, metadata, metadata withvalid ‘Use Constraints’, ‘DistributionLiability’ and ‘Purpose’ statements

• Clearly stated license/copyrightrequirements and mandatoryacknowledgement by the consumer

• Making data freely accessible so

consumers use current version

What doesn’t:

• Confusing misuse with innovation

AR, MA, NC

Limited Data Sharing Capacity & InfrastructureLimited Data Sharing Capacity & Infrastructure

What Works:• $ - especially if designated to build and

maintain data sharing capacity (newdata collection, hardware, software,training, etc)

• A simplified process that adds noburden to the data provider

• Documenting return on investment towarrant capacity building

What doesn’t:• One time payments for data that are

not tied to capacity buildingAR, IN, MA, MD,MetroGIS, SC, WA, WI

Differing PerspectivesDiffering PerspectivesWhat Works:

• Approaching data providerswith a proposal

• Data consumers that inquire asto the data providers needs andbring something to the table: $, services, data…

• Approaching data sharing as a cooperative partnership

• A respected champion, Will Craig’s ‘White Knight’

What doesn’t:

• Demands for data MD, MSU, MetroGIS, NC,SC, WA, WI
