National Academy ofPublic Administration:
Getting Results
Intergovernmental Collaboration in Geospatial One Stop
John MoellerStaff Director
Federal Geographic Data Committee
The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)
• 17 Cabinet and Executive Level Agencies
• Chaired by DOI, Vice Chair - OMB
• Coordination of Geographic Data at Federal level
• Federal Leadership for National Spatial Data Iinfrastructure
& Geospatial One Stop
• Includes participation of many Stakeholders from State,
Local and Tribal governments, private sector and academia
Population Growth Washington, DC - Baltimore
Issues Affecting Nations, Communities & Citizens - Happen in Places
Emergency Response
Wild Fire Management
Geospatial DataSome Examples
Field Measurements Maps
Remotely-sensed Images Spatially-referenced Data
Government Uses of Geographic Information
Geographic information is a valuable national resource
80% of government data has a spatial component
Some of lines of government business that collect/use geographic information
Public health and safety, emergency response
Managing natural resources, protecting the environment
Improving transportation, housing, community services
Addressing economic, social, demographic issues
Providing mapping and location based services
Performance Management
Government Uses of Geographic Information
Other levels of governments have equal or greater needs
State and local governments are estimated to have twice the volume of Federal geospatial data
Can’t effectively do E-Gov and Homeland Security without geospatial information
Issues Organizations increasingly need to share geographic information
to achieve their missions
Standardized base geospatial data is not consistently available from local, state, federal and commercial sources
Existing Geographic data often is hard to find and access
Information describing data is not universally available
Financial resources are limited and difficult to align
Issues Data sharing across organizations is inconsistent
The number of government units that may benefit from improved geospatial information collection/use is huge (the 1997 Census of Governments identified over 87,000 Independent Federal, State, and Local Government entities in the US)
The National Spatial Data Infrastructure
OMB Circular A-16 and EO 12906 Develop and implement spatial data resource for nationReduce duplication of effortPromote effective management by all levels of governmentImprove the acquisition, distribution and use of geographic informationStakeholder collaboration - public private partnerships (State, local, tribal, Pvt, Academic)Federal leadership provided by the FGDC
NSDI - What Is It ?
• Public Policies - Access for Data, Data Sharing, Privacy Protection, Reduce Duplication, Use Effective Business Practices (Unify and Simplify)
• Technology - NSDI Clearinghouse, Interoperable Geoprocessing, Standards Based DSS Technology
• Standards - Metadata, Framework Data Content and other Data Standards
• Resources - Partnerships, Collaboration, Leverage Investments
NSDI Vision
• Current and accurate geographic information is readily available locally, nationally, and internationally…
• An Infrastructure for improved public and private sector use of geospatial data for better decision making
Visionof
Geospatial One-Stop
To spatially enable the delivery of government services
Project Goals Provide fast, low cost, reliable access to Geospatial
Data needed for government operations via a G2G web portal for geospatial information
Facilitate G2G geospatial interactions needed for vertical missions such as Homeland Security
Facilitate the alignment of roles, responsibilities and resources
Obtain multi- sector input for geographic information standards to create consistency needed for interoperability and to stimulate market development of tools
One Stop ModulesFocus of Geo One Stop is to accelerate development
and implementation of NSDI technology, policies and
standards that support “one-stop” access Develop consensus data standards and models for base
data requirements Document current Framework data holdings in
Clearinghouse Document planned Framework data collection in
Clearinghouse Develop interoperable Web services Design and implement a comprehensive government to
government web portal for geospatial information

Geospatial One Stop What are the Outcomes ?
All levels of government have better, faster, less expensive access to reliable data to expedite citizen service
Improved ability to leverage and align resources for data acquisition partnerships and reuse of accessible geospatial data
All E-Gov Initiatives are spatially enabled through data and functional capability from Geospatial One-Stop
Homeland Security and Government Mission needs are supported with geospatial information

I-Teams A joint project of the FGDC and OMB to assist all levels of government and private sector align geographic information needs and resources:
26 state based teams are active 13 others are forming
FGDC Cooperating Groups Cooperative efforts among to further the development and implementation of practices for improved use of geographic information
32 State GIS Councils are participating
Wrap up and Conclusions
Intergovernmental Collaboration In Geospatial One Stop
Ensures input and representation of all levels of government and sectors in Geospatial One Stop: Balanced participation on Standards Teams Input, review and approval includes local, state & federal Implementation of Standards across all levels Participation in Portal Requirements and Design
Geospatial One Stop Portal will be used to access data holdings and collaborate on data collection plans
Leverage resources and funding Simplify and unify programs and initiatives to accomplish
multiple objectives Expand existing relationships and build new ones
