3 Background Last meeting June 2003 Executive Order specified: Executive GISTC – 7 agencies Full GISTC – state agencies, local federal agencies, business community

4 Executive GISTC Membership State Water Commission – Rod Bassler Dept. of Health – Ann Fritz Dept. of Transportation – Brian Bieber Game and Fish – Brian Hosek Geological Survey – Elroy Kadrmas Parks and Recreation – Chris Dirk Information Tech. Dept. – Bob Nutsch

5 Accomplishments The GIS Hub provides a buffet of data: Hub Explorer – interactive map for data display, query, and download, template for agency applications Metadata Explorer – search for data, find information on the data, download data FTP – download raster data Web Services – stream vector and raster data to desktop application

6 Accomplishments Vector download via Metadata Explorer and Hub Explorer – 48GB downloaded since March 2004 Hub Explorer upgraded – folders for layers and improved printing Metadata Explorer – New categories: in progress and downloadable data Raster download via FTP – 1TB downloaded since June 2004 Grant from the USGS for National Map WMS

7 Accomplishments Coordinated Training – From February 2002 through March 2004, we have saved $39,000 in training costs alone The GIS Hub metadata on Geodata.gov GIS software in schools – GIS Day* Developed GIS Initiative brochure Seven-year plan – “Vision Document” developed (some in this presentation): (

8 Accomplishments - Applications Devils Lake Risk Assessment Sales Tax Rates DOT: Road Conditions, Load Restrictions, Road Construction State Water Commission: Well Inventory, Precipitation Information Game and Fish: Updated web site

9 Accomplishments – Hub Usage Averaging 35 concurrent database connections from state agency users 15 agencies set up for access GIS Hub Explorer: averaged 13,700 initial hits/month February-October and 97,800 requests/month same period

10 Current Work Roll multiple Hub Explorers into one Merging in the Geological Survey clearinghouse (GS web page will point to Hub) Data compilation

11 Goals Contribute GIS Hub OGC web services to the USGS “National Map” Work more closely with local government, identify partnering opportunities: Data sharing & hosting Data acquisition Metadata hosting Others listed in Vision Document Funding for

12 Hub Data - Current Communications Emergency Services Geology Political Boundaries State and Federal Lands Places and Cultural Points Transportation Water Resources Aerial Photography

13 Hub Data – The Approach Overview of Process Submitted by a data steward Reviewed by Data Oversight Committee Pushed into production Set up for download and web services Resources Using the tools available at an agency Agency fits in the work as they can Outsourcing?

14 Hub Data – Available State-wide USGS DOQQ mosaic Recently updated the DOQQ mosaic with 926 newer DOQQs 2003 NAIP (National Agriculture Imagery Program) county mosaics available on FTP Government Land Office (GLO) surveys, available at: osearchform.html

15 Hub Data – Updated DOQQs

16 Hub Data – Available Devils Lake (FEMA) Sheyenne River LIDAR National Elevation Data (NED) DEM and shaded relief Bismarck/Mandan aerial photos 24k, 100k, 250k DRGs

17 Hub Data – In Progress SSURGO National Wetland Inventory Land Classification Hydrologic Unit boundary delineation Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) led by the BLM Update DEMs – 10m, planned RFP

18 Hydrologic Unit Delineation Status

19 Hub Data – Planned State-wide mosaic of 2003 NAIP DOQQs, with associated web service Road centerlines ?? Update aquifers 24k hydrology Geodetic Cadastral

20 And Now… BREAK TIME !

21 Roundtable Discussions State-wide data priorities Feedback on current list priority Add new items Collaboration/partnering Data Collection Standards Development Metadata Hosting AmericaView

22 Discussion – State-wide Data Priorities State-wide DOQQS (NAIP) Updated DEMs (RFP) Surficial Aquifers Hydrologic Unit Boundaries (IP) National Wetlands Inventory (IP) Land Classification (IP) SSURGO Soils (IP) Metro Area Aerial Photographs

23 Discussion – State-wide Data Priorities Updated Road Centerlines Geodetic Survey Updated Utility Layer 24k Hydrology Cadastral

24 Discussion – State-wide Data Priorities NDGIS Listserv suggestions (not ranked) Physiographic regions Improved soil attributes Improved water attributes Outcrop mapping Coal/oil/other mineral resources Biology: endangered species habitat, weed & wildflower range, forest location & composition Weather: storm-prone areas, seasonal degree growing days

25 Discussion – Collaboration Ideas Data Collection & Funding How do we communicate collection plans? Ideas for co-funding collection Standards Development Sharing of existing state/federal standards Development of new state standards Metadata Hosting on the GIS Hub Hub hosts local government and other’s metadata. Data provider submits metadata to the Hub Searches direct the user to the data source

26 Metadata Hosting – Example
