Band Chief Councillor: “I need CED

(“referrals”) reports with summary, maps,

analysis, communications highlights.”

Referrals Manager: “I need a pay-per-consultation system and to track staff time spent on each proposal/project.”

School Teacher: “I need access to the maps and

multimedia files to teach our culture.”

Fisheries Officer: “I need a

(spatialized) system to record environmental

data.”

CED Staffer: “I need a better way to track consultation. Data entry tasks are rotten!”

Cultural Expert: “I need a better way of doing interviews and for digitizing our TUS/TEK/Arch data.”

GIS Technician: “I’m swamped and need help, but we have no $$ for

training.”

Teenager: “I want to access to

some community data, calendars, blogs, job lists and our elections

information.”

Inform

ation Flow 1. Proponents/government enter proposal (referrals) data

2. Proponents/government map proposal (web-map or Shapefile upload), …submits

3. System send email with account information (Proponent may edit)

4. Local manager reviews “information package”, …requests

more information, system sends email5. Proponent edits proposal form, …re-submits

6. Local manager reviews and accepts data and sends form

Inform

ation Flow

6. Local manager reviews and accepts data and sends form letter: “12 business days”

7. Local manager generates report…1. System asks other systems for map data2. Runs queries against internal and external data3. Generates maps and tables

8. Local manager emails report to decision-makersX. Proposal moves towards “active engagement” (consultation)

System harvests/stores emails

Gets vector data and attributes from GeoBC, CORAL (e.g. Oil Spill Dataset), NCSFNSS

Summary

1. Local Knowledge stays securely in the community2. Up-to-date and detailed base map layers come

from outside sources3. Basic reports generated automatically4. Map layers available to community’s full GIS5. CIS created using Linux, Drupal, Open Layers,

PostGIS, etc. (key = open standards)

Summary

PostGIS, etc. (key = open standards)

Future…1.What are the key spatial datasets for marine

planning?2. …for day-to-day marine (co-)management?3. GeoBC ready for WFS and DB access?4. Live data feeds… Field staff uploads…
