NEPAnode is a Geospatial Data and Document Management System It provides a centralized and collaborative site to access the data used and documents referenced in NEPA analyses

NEPAnode: Overview of Features  Entire Software Stack is Open Source (GPLv3)  Upload, style, edit, and collaborate on geographic data with other agencies, stakeholders directly from the web browser –Project specific data (e.g. site maps, surveys, studies, engineering designs, etc.) –Reference data  Combine uploaded layers together with external data services (WMS/WMTS/GeoRSS)  Save the layer combination as a “map” for focused visualization and sharing  Manage map content and share on any other web site  Download the data, or link to it as a data and metadata service/feed through Open Standard interfaces and formats  Upload, share, and link maps to documents (.pdf,.doc,.xls, etc.)  Access shared layer library (60 currently) 4

NEPAnode: A Platform with the Future in Mind  Time Support –The software (Geonode) supports data with a temporal (time) element. This could be used to model past and future scenarios as a time lapse or video like functionality (Ex.  Version Control –The software (Geonode) can integrate with GeoGit a version control system that tracks each edit and addition to a dataset. While GeoGit is still early in development, it may eventually enable us to better manage data history as well as roll back to previous versions of the data for comparison or to nullify deletions and mistakes similar in concept to edit -> undo on documents.  Analytical Tools (Modeling and Reporting) – EISPC IntegrationEISPC –Create new layers (point/line/polygon) directly within the map interface –Reports using user layers and cross-tabulation (i.e. comparison among alternatives) –Viewshed Modeling –Noise Attenuation Modeling –Clip and ship download of data by project area, map extent, or a user drawn polygon –Commonly-used GIS processing tools Buffer, Intersect, Clip, etc.  Web-based Georeferencing of Static Images – MapWarper IntegrationMapWarper  Crowdsourcing Data Collection and Review –Consultation Map – Create a single map containing Federal jurisdictions, regions, land ownership, permitting/review responsibilities, and contact information. –Georeferencing Past Environmental Documents CEQ NEPA IT Group Meeting - February 4,
