FGDC Standards Process Review Survey Results Summary Julie Binder Maitra FGDC Standards Coordinator April 13, 2010 Coordination Group Meeting

2 FGDC Standards Survey Review Purpose and goal Background Recommendations

3 Purpose and Goal Purpose Make the FGDC standards process more effective and efficient without compromising validity of the process. Goal Recommend improvements to the standards process and/or revalidate existing processes

4 Background Survey was implemented through SurveyMonkey in Dec Announced at the Jan. 8, 2010 Coordination Group meeting. Invitations sent through mailing lists to FGDC CG, FGDC Standards Working Group, and other Federal agency members. The survey was open January 8-22, There were 70 responses on the survey. Thirty-three responses were incomplete. Thirty-seven participants completed the survey. Open-ended text responses were categorized to identify patterns of responses. Other survey results lent themselves to quantitative approaches

5 Survey Reponses by Agency Department of Agriculture (6) Natural Resources Conservation Service: 4 Forest Service: 1 Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS): 1 Department of Commerce (5) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): 4 U.S. Census Bureau: 1 Department of Defense (1) DISDI (1) Library of Congress (2) Department of Homeland Security (1) Federal Emergency Management Agency (1) Department of the Interior (17)  Bureau of Land Management (4)  Fish and Wildlife Service (2)  National Park Service (3)  U.S. Geological Survey (3)  U.S. Geological Survey/Federal Geographic Data Committee (5) Environmental Protection Agency (1)

6 Preliminary Recommendations The FGDC Standards WG should: Set guidance for target dates for completion of documents by standards development groups Take an active role in project management and tracking Continue promoting public review through Federal register and other media Identify coordinators/facilitators for projects Provide funding to support resolution of public review comments Refer proposals for FGDC standards projects to the FGDC Coordination Group to determine if a project is within scope Revise FGDC standards directives to require a 14-day concurrent review by both the FGDC Standards WG and the FGDC Coordination Group

7 Preliminary Recommendations The FGDC Standards WG should: Submit the GSDI suite of standards for FGDC endorsement. Review external standards for endorsement/recommendation if an FGDC Standard contains normative references to external standards Recommend to the FGDC Coordination Group the development of a cadre of experts in UML and XML to assist in standards development Propose a slate of FGDC standards projects for withdrawal Recommend to the CG that the issue of SWG participation be raised to the FGDC Steering Committee.

8 Preliminary Recommendations Standards development groups and sponsoring organizations should: Dedicate effort when writing a standards proposal to  Identify requirements  Line up subject matter experts  Seek multiple agency sponsors or sponsorships for a proposed standard  Identify and document the business areas that will be impacted by a proposed standard. Coordinate with their FGDC Coordination Group and FGDC Standards WG representatives during all phases of the project.

9 Preliminary Recommendations Standards development groups and sponsoring organizations should: Seek dedicated project support such as facilitators and contractors Obtain agency commitment (dedicating human resources for SMEs, authors) for standards development Promote public review within their Communities of Interest (CoI) Identify SMEs and dedicate FTEs for resolution of public review comments

10 Preliminary Recommendations FGDC member agencies should: Participate in the FGDC standards review and approval process, if only to be aware of a project Participate in technical reviews if a standard affects their business area Perform an editorial review to maintain the highest administrative and processing quality of the standard Continue to promote awareness of FGDC standards among their agencies and CoIs Could be allowed to abstain from voting if a standard does not affect its business area

11 Question 3.1

12 Question 3.2

13 Question 3.3

North American Profile of ISO 19115, Geographic Information - Metadata, and North American Profile of ISO 19110, Geographic Information - Methodology for Feature Cataloging U.S. Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal Address Data Standard Review of existing Wetlands Classification Standard Cultural Resources Geospatial Data Content Standard Shoreline Data Content Standard Federal Buildings and Facilities Geospatial Data Content Standard

17 Other Summary Results

18 Question 1 What is a reasonable length of time in months for standards from approval of a proposed standards project to FGDC endorsement?

19 Question 2 Review the FGDC standards process. Identify one to three steps and time requirements appropriate to meeting your mission requirements.
