• Certain layers make perfect sense in a Centralized/Shared Repository – examples might include:

• Those with no formal agency custodian

• Those that are/will be aggregated from locals

• Those from partners without the means to share (smaller operations without GIS Server infrastructure)

• Redundant copies might be more efficiently stored in a shared Repository

• Yes, we understand…Some GIS layers are best managed in custodian repositories


RATIONALE - GEOPORTAL

6/5/2014 pg. 4

• Discovery is important !

• Who, what, when, where, how…

• We are all both consumers and custodians

• Often fielding requests from hundreds of other consumers

• Often searching for updated information from many custodians

• One place to find data, services, and repositories for our authoritative government geographic information would be useful to many

Investigating NSGIC GMA, and simple web search by state reveals:

• 41 other states have a central Repository, many also have additional functional repositories

• With more than one Repository there is often a GeoPortal for discovery


CHARTER• Objectives

• Evaluate technologies for enterprise repository and geoportal services. These would necessarily enable:

• Geospatial information discovery

• Geospatial data storage (where appropriate), and

• Access to data across confederated domains

• Examine workflows within product (2) proof of concepts

• Estimate resource requirements for managed operations

• Goal

• A proposal to implement a managed enterprise repository and geoportal solution
