The National Map Viewer

The National Map Viewer The National Map System is part of The National Map System

However: The National Map is NOT the Viewer

The National Map is a Relational Database

Who’s Who in The National Map Partner Registration Process State of Indiana Jill Saligoe-Simmel, Ph.D. Indiana Geographic Information Council, Inc. 317-234-2924 jsaligoe@iupu.edu www.in.gov/ingisi US Geological Survey Charley Hickman, USGS Liaison to IN, MI, OH USGS Eastern Region Geog 614-430-7768 chickman@usgs.gov www.usgs.gov/ngpo

Partner Registration Process State of Indiana Jill Saligoe-Simmel, Ph.D. US Geological Survey Charley Hickman, USGS Potential Partners? Indiana State Agency Local Government Academic Institution Regional Consortium Private Concern ER Catalog Support Team Reston, VA - Art Eckerson CR Catalog Support Team Rolla, MO – Larry Moore POCs

Catalog Support Team Member Contacts Partner POC and Initiates Information Gathering: Data Types FGDC Metadata? WMS? OGC Compliant? URLs for: All WMSs Metadata Legends Public/Non-Public Layers Min/Max Scale for each Layer Data Layer Footprints Partner Information Page URL This is an Iterative Process

Catalog Support Team Verifies all URLs Determines Classification of Data Layers to: TNM Themes ‘Other’ Categories Reviews Layer Scale and Symbology Reviews Place Names and Initiates GNIS Internal USGS Names Extraction Processes Reviews Metadata These Actions also Require Iteration with the Partner

Catalog Support Team Initiates TNM Catalog Data Entry Process:

Sample Oracle Screen from TNM Catalog

Catalog Support Team Initiates TNM Catalog Data Entry Process: Establishes a Partner ID Number with CST in Rolla, MO Registers each WMS and Classify each Layer of the Service Tests in TNM (LIVE) Again, the Catalog Support Team Iterates with the Partner to Properly Register Partner Data in TNM Catalog

Partner Assistance: Lacking FGDC Compliant Metadata? Catalog Support Teams (and Others) can Offer Assistance in Metadata Training, Some Metadata Content Entry (Caveat!! Contingent on Availability of Resources) No WMS? If Partner Plans to Move Toward a Local WMS Capability, Temporary Hosting and Serving of Data may be Possible via Indiana Map and/or USGS (More Caveats!!)
