12 Homeland Security Working Group  Activities in Progress Guidance Subgroup Formed in March 2007  “… to serve as the focal point for preparing recommendations concerning guidance, policy, and process required to ensure that geospatial information technologies support the strategic goals of homeland security (HLS) and homeland defense (HLD).” Note: Data Sharing Subgroup dissolved, Data Sharing Guidance included as Guidance Subgroup task.

13 Homeland Security Working Group  Activities in Progress (Guidance Subgroup Cont..) Guidance Subgroup Work Plan Tasks T1. Subgroup Meetings T2. Develop link analysis to discover candidate issues requiring FGDC guidance. Develop guidance for FGDC approval. T3. Recommend NSDI HLS/HLD data themes and corresponding proposed lead agencies to the FGDC Steering Committee T4. Post initial Best Practices for HLS Grantees T5. Develop GOS HLS Community of Interest Pages for Trans Border Data Discovery and Access T6. Standardize “access” and “use” constraint verbiage for HLS metadata T7. Develop HLS Composite Layer Best Practices and Metadata Guidance T8. Ascertain effectiveness of, and lessons learned from, “Guidelines for Providing Appropriate Access to Geospatial Data in Response to Security Concerns” T9. Data Sharing Guidance

14 Homeland Security Working Group  Activities in Progress (Guidance Subgroup Cont..) Guidance Subgroup Task 3 T3: ‘Recommend NSDI HLS/HLD data themes and corresponding proposed lead agencies to the FGDC Steering Committee’ Parallels Geospatial Line of Business Joint Business Case Proposed Task(s) HSWG needs to coordinate closely with the FGDC Coordination Group on these efforts

15 Homeland Security Working Group  Activities in Progress (Guidance Subgroup Cont..) Guidance Subgroup Task 3 (cont…) DHS GMO has contracted for a report on DHS Common Operating Data Part of the final report will be ‘Recommended Authoritative Government Sources for DHS Common Operating Data (COD)’ Plan is that these recommendations be the baseline from which the Guidance Subgroup will work o HIFLD Working Group coordination required
