You all have a copy of the agenda, we’ll finish the overview then go to the data discussion starting with orthos then break, then do roads and parcels, then break and wrap up with CI…
first of all thanks for coming we’ve organized this series of workshops, six of them in all, because we believe that there is a real community of interest around GIS. we’re reaching out to that community including both direct users, and others who may be managers or colleagues or otherwise involved. the time seems right – a new administration, new possibilities, We think its an opportune time to develop a strategic plan, But since we don’t have a big budget, our planning effort has got to be something manageable, and so we’re focusing on something that we believe is really at he center of our shared interest and that is data. Everyone who uses GIS needs a base of data, a database so to speak, a platform to get started with. So the focus of our plan is the shared data needs – how do we make sure that all GIS users get that basic infrastructure to work with. Our plan, to be valid and useful, needs to be informed by all GIS users, from all sectors and levels of government and all parts of the state. So We want to hear from you. In order to really make sure that everyone is represented we’ve organized a steering committee, which is overseeing this effort and I’ll get to the membership of that in a second. Just one more thing to make clear - MassGIS has been doing the logistics and planning for these events, but this is not all about MassGIS, rather its’ about all GIS users and would-be users, your needs and opinions and insights.
I mentioned before the national spatial data infrastructure or NSDI created by executive order of president clinton in 1994. preseident Bush amended it in 2003 to explicitly include outreach to state and local stakeholders it requires federal agencies to provide “Technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data” these are the seven framework data layers identified by the NSDI – you’ll see that our first three data categories are part of this national framework Our discussion of Critical infrastructure is really about making the connection between a whole list of other data sets, hundreds in fact, and the first three spatial categories – I’ll explain more about that later – so you can kind of consider it on the list as well. There are two other federal initiatives that we consider relevant – one is the portal to GIS information provided by the USGS with GOS and the National Map – we are part of both of those, and the other is the HSIP, which is now being redesigned but is basically the whole framework for critical infrastructure layers just like MSDI does for the basic ones.
This slide illustrates the multi-level approach which the federal govt is endorsing with the NSDI. The fifty states initiative, which is what funded our strategic planning effort, is all about data sharing between levels of govt. everybody recognizes that the best data are local and they need to be rolled up to a regional or statewide and then a national level. Certainly part of what’s driving this is the idea that when there’s a big disaster somewhere, the surrounding towns or MEMA or even federal agencies have all got to be reading from the same playbook. but its also about just being efficient – why should the taxpayer who paid for local mapping also pay the state and federal govts to do the same mapping all over again.
Again, this whole process is designed to help us understand how well we are doing – where we are successful, and where we need improvement… we’ll quicly run through these criteria and then wrap up our overview and intro to the project… heres
