17. 16 Current Work Merging the Geological Survey clearinghouse – still pending Road centerline study Prepare for the Legislative Session Provide letter of support for Imagery For The Nation Data: NAIP, aquifers, HUC

18. 17 Current Work –Data Ann Fritz, Department of Health Hydrologic Unit Boundary delineation Rod Bassler, State Water Commission Aquifer update

19. 18 Goals – General Work more closely with local & federal government, identify partnering opportunities Server upgrades – ArcGIS Server 9.2 and new hardware Web tools – enhance Hub Explorer with new interface Add OGC-compliant WFS Improved raster downloading

20. 19 Goals – Data Near term: NAIP 2005 onto ArcSDE & as web services Update 30-meter Level 1 DEMs Freshen existing data Road centerlines: seamless, statewide Long term: Update 30-meter Level 1 DEMs Parcel data: seamless, statewide

21. 20 Goals - Budget Additional for Increased hosting and storage Application and software development Data acquisition with funding partners Optional (with NDACo) for statewide county GIS coordinator ½ General Funds, ½ NDACo Long-term funding mechanisms

22. 21 News From NSGIC National States Geographic Information Council (www.nsgic.org) Imagery For The Nation TechniGraphics - HSIP Fusion Centers Ramona data inventory tool

23. 22 Imagery For The Nation Annual 1-meter imagery paid by feds Estimated $111 million/year but estimated $160 million every three years Buy-up options (higher resolution, color infrared, footprints, etc.) – as stated by state GI councils For more information see http://www.nsgic.org/hottopics/imageryofnati on.cfm

24. 23 TechniGraphics - HSIP TechniGraphics (TGS) is a contractor for National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency NGA formerly NIMA (National Imagery & Mapping Agency) TGS is collecting Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) data from the states – critical infrastructure

25. 24 TechniGraphics - HSIP States provide data (doesn’t have to be geospatial), contact info to TGS. States contact officials (e.g., fire chiefs) letting them know of planned activities TGS improves data, makes it geospatial, e.g., Arkansas fire stations No co$t to the state! Current layers: fire stations, prisons & jails, EMS stations, urgent care locations

26. 25 Fusion Centers Used to develop and share information Approximately 40 states have them In North Dakota, Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Highway Patrol, Dept. of Emergency Services “A fusion center is an effective and efficient mechanism to exchange information and intelligence, maximizeresources, streamline operations, and improve the ability to fight crime and terrorism by analyzing data from a variety of sources.”

27. 26 Ramona Data Inventory Developed and promoted by NSGIC All levels of government can use this tool to inventory their geospatial data and list key contacts More information at http://www.nsgic.org/hottopics/ramona _announcement.pdf North Dakota site: http://nd.gisinventory.net/

28. 27 Ramona Data Inventory In North Dakota, may be very useful: FEMA Census Collaborative data collection Considering creation of tutorials The following slides are from NSGIC

29. 28 Status Map & Data Search

30. 29 User Profile Separate Tabs for information on: User Organization Systems Policies My Geography Framework Data Inventory Other Data Inventory Metadata Separate Tabs for information on: User Organization Systems Policies My Geography Framework Data Inventory Other Data Inventory Metadata

31. 30 User Directory Standard directory tool Several methods employed to prevent data mining Standard directory tool Several methods employed to prevent data mining

32. 31 Discussion – State-wide Data Priorities Executive GISTC Priorities Road centerlines Elevation – replace Level 1 DEMs first Continue acquiring NAIP – 2-meter? Parcel data Framework layers Other priorities???

33. 32 Discussion – Partnership Ramona Data sharing – local-state-federal Practice now, useful for future, IFTN Data collection – communicate plans! NAIP: buy-up from 2-meter to 1-meter or better Standards/best practices development Metadata hosting – Cass County is doing this, who else is interested? Training/workshops CAP Grant – Statewide Strategic Plan

34. 33 Discussion – Future Users Conferences Need your feedback and direction! Considering September Location: Free conference = Limited Funds = Limited Locations Frequency

35. 34 Other Discussion? Questions? Comments? Ways to improve?
