Data and Data Acquisition: Cultural
• Ongoing Outreach - AZ, MT, and WA
• Seeking EDWG volunteers for outreach to:- BC, AB, ID, NM, CA, OR,
federal agencies

Data and Data Acquisition: Cultural
Next steps:• Continue to acquire State
and Federal Data• Continue to push for
publication of the data- ICF/WECC reviewing
options as part of the Data Viewer upgrade

Data Viewer: Analysis Upgrades
• EDWG Approved Data Viewer Upgrades in Q3:– User sketches a hypothetical transmission line– The Data Viewer analyzes the transmission line– The Data Viewer reports on what the line crosses
• The Problem?: Current viewer platform inflexibility
• The Solution?: Switch platforms

Data Viewer: Current Platform
Great for data display!
Not so good for developing unique analytics or functions• Proprietary Software• Difficult/expensive
to program solutions

W E S T E R N E L E C T R I C I T Y C O O R D I N A T I N G C OU N C I L
Data Viewer: New Platform
Still great for data display!Flexibility to develop new
analytics and functions• Open Source software;
new apps come online frequently
• Easy to program solutions to unique problems

W E S T E R N E L E C T R I C I T Y C O O R D I N A T I N G C OU N C I L
Data Viewer: New Platform
• New Viewer will include the Functions of the Current Viewer: – Environmental Risk Layer– Transmission Line Data– Additional, informational, Data Layers • Roads, Rails• NatureServe Species Data• Jurisdictional Land Ownership
– Links to WECC products and data downloads

Data Viewer: Transmission Line
Sketch a line:• User sketches a
transmission line route based on Risk Category or any other features of interest (e.g., terrain)

W E S T E R N E L E C T R I C I T Y C O O R D I N A T I N G C OU N C I L
Data Viewer: Analysis
Perform the Analysis• Once the User’s line is drawn,
the Data Viewer compares the line versus:- Risk Classification Categories
crossed- Risk Score- Mitigation Costs- And other points of interest

Data Viewer: Results
Receive the Results• User would receive the results of the
Analysis– CartoDB allows a variety of potential outputs–Mix of graphics, statics, and reports will be
determined through coordination with WECC and the EDWG during Q4 2015

Data Viewer: Schedule
• PHASE I – Basic Web Map Build Out: Oct• PHASE II – Transmission Line Sketching Function:
Oct/Nov• PHASE III – Analytics and Results Reporting Window: Nov• PHASE IV – Finalize and Internal Test Web Map: Nov/Dec• PHASE V – WECC and Beta Test Review: early Dec
Budget and time permitting, investigate options for a cultural resource data access recording system
