GEA CoP WG Overview: Purpose Encourage communication between participants Examine and promote awareness of current EA practices Leverage successful EA work to advance the development of the Geospatial Profile Identify and pursue opportunities to validate the Geospatial Profile best practices Identify opportunities to leverage investments

GEA CoP WG Overview: Scope The development and advancement of a national Geospatial Profile for enterprise architecture Establishing a cross-cutting guidance document useful to all levels of government To compliment the work of the OMB in advancing the FEA

GEA CoP WG Overview: Responsibility Build common terminology, concepts, and scope of efforts Creating an efficient inter-organizational EA approach with a geospatial perspective Solicit, synthesize, and promote existing geospatial EA Map existing geospatial concepts, standards, and practices into EA Reference Models Validate the Geospatial Profile through inter-org. use cases Assure reporting of activities, deliverables, issues and recommendations to all Working Group participants

Discussion FEA DRM/NSDI Interoperability and Integration Methodology FEA DRM Schema

1. FEA DRM/NSDI Interoperability and Integration Methodology Option 1: Single Pointer to NSDI One DRM Registry record that points to NSDI Catalog Option 2: Agency Holdings Referenced by DRM DRM Registry records point to NSDI records Extract could be a harvest that invokes XSL transform on the NSDI metadata record FEA DRM Context DRM Registry DRM Record Contains an extract of the NSDI metadata record NSDI Context NSDI Catalog Data Metadata Record

2. FEA DRM Schema Discussion (1) drm:GeospatialEnabled “A boolean flag indicating whether or not a particular data asset supports or provides Geospatial data.” What does this mean? What requirement(s) does this element address? “This is geospatial data” “This data be portrayed geospatially” Other ddms:geospatialCoverage “Geographic place names or coordinates that relate to the resource, such as a jurisdiction, point, area, or volume on land, in space, or at sea. This element can contain either a Facility element or Place element, but not both. This element is reused from the Department of Defense (DoD) Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS) v. 1.2.” Can be associated with either Resource, DataAsset, or ExchangePackage Resource: “Encapsulates a single "page view" of unstructured or semi-structured data, referenceable via a URI. This element aggregates numerous sub-elements, mostly metadata tags reused from the Dublin Core 1.1 set.” DataAsset: “An aggregated, managed container. A database, system, application, or other electronic entity that produces and/or houses data.” ExchangePackage: “A description of a specific information exchange between organizations.” What are the semantics of these associations and where is this described? What requirement(s) does this element address?

2. FEA DRM Schema Discussion (2) ISO 19115/19139 has concepts of: Extent—contains information about the geographic, temporal, and the vertical extent of the referring entity. The geographic extent can be a bounding polygon, a bounding box, or a geographic description Geographic description is mean to refer to named places according to some authority (such as a gazetteer) Address—found within the contact information of the responsible party (can be individual or organizational)

GeoDRM: Draft Outline Recommended DRM Authoring Practices and Procedures TBD Content

GeoDRM: Draft Outline Listing of Data Related Standards and Specifications The listing should be complete with information in support of decision-making. We must help EA authors decide which standards to reference and supplying a list with descriptions and recommended use statements will help tremendously.
