Maintaining the Delaware Spatial Data Framework

ESRI International Users Conference

Delaware…

• No central “GIS Authority”

• Data developed at, and shared among, all levels of government

• Based on a shared Framework standard: data sets “work together”

• All contribute data, all gain data

ESRI International Users Conference

Delaware

• 2,000 Square Miles

(Give or Take)

• 784,000 Folks

• 3 Counties

• 57 Municipalities

Our Challenge

• Create and maintain useful spatial data

• Accurate, up-to-date, statewide

• Open to all

• In a completely distributed environment

• With no truly formal control

ESRI International Users Conference

Coordination, Not Control

• Local expertise creates better data

• Two keys:– Communicate– Share Data

ESRI International Users Conference

Delaware’s GIS Community

• Inter-related Committees– State Mapping Advisory Committee– Delaware Geographic Data Committee– Delaware Spatial Data I-Team

• Focused on Delaware’s Spatial Data Framework

ESRI International Users Conference

The Spatial Data Framework

• Accepted in 2000

• The “skeleton” that supports a wide variety of spatial data sets

• Limited to core, skeletal data sets

• Part of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

Need for Improvement

• Delaware topographic map series (DRGs/DLGs) produced in early 1990s

• Updated Delaware DOQQs 1997/2002, Land Use, DelDOT Transportation Network, Municipal Boundaries, Watersheds (Delaware Framework)

• Several USGS National datasets under development – GNIS, NHD, NED, Imagery, Land Cover (The National Map)

• Discussion With USGS

• We have data…

• …you have data

• DLG updates?

ESRI International Users Conference

The National Map

• Seamless • Nationwide• Current• Partnership based• Major data themes• Public domain• Online accessibility

ESRI International Users Conference

Can We Have…

• Somewhere on-line to combine and compare data?

• A collaboratory where we can host discussions?

• Mini topo maps?

• Easy-to-use interface?

ESRI International Users Conference

• Coincidence of DataMIL and The National Map

• Past & Present Partnerships

• Tremendous Synergy and Focus

Serendipity?

ESRI International Users Conference

What Is the DataMIL?
