Overview of A-16 Supplemental Guidance
Released by OMB November 10, 2010Defines a portfolio management approach for managing geospatial data assetsReference documents available on FGDC.gov:
FGDC Federal Agency Representation Key Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities Processes for Revising OMB Circular A-16 Appendix E: NSDI Geospatial Data Theme Principles Stages of the Geospatial Data Lifecycle Lexicon of Geospatial Terminology
http://www.fgdc.gov/policyandplanning/a-16
3
Purpose of A-16 Guidance Clarify the objectives outlined in OMB Circular A-16 (Circular A-16) and Executive Order (E.O.) 12906
Promote systematic portfolio management for Circular A-16 themes and associated data sets
Improve ability to coordinate and collaborate on completion of Circular A-16 themes and associated data sets by Federal agencies and their partners
Develop a process to modify Circular A-16 Appendix E themes and associated data sets to reflect the current business of Federal agencies and their partners

Portfolio Management Definition
Tracking, maintaining, expanding, aligning assets to address and solve business needsUnderstanding what assets exist and ensuring that data is authoritative (trusted), consistent, current, applicable, and resourced
5
Value of Portfolio Management
Portfolio management will support: A comprehensive approach for managing National Geospatial
Data Assets A trusted Data offering on the Geospatial Platform Provides a better understanding of what data is available across
agencies Informed decision making A basis for making sound investments
The Geospatial Platform is the service and delivery mechanism for the Federal geospatial portfolio assets
AND the integration point between Federal and State, local, Tribal, and non-governmental information sources

Why organize data into Themes?
Many geospatial datasets can be related to a broader category (e.g., watershed boundaries, wetlands, and hydrography all relate to water)Datasets that are related can be managed most effectively when organized into logical units, or Themes
8
Benefits from using a Theme based Portfolio Management approach
Datasets from multiple agencies/sources can be more effectively managed and delivered to meet public and government needsInvestment and development needs and strategies for critical datasets can be effectively described and supportedSound data management practices can easily be shared across Themes
9
Things to Keep in Mind
Portfolio based management is new and agencies will likely need to consider new approaches to managing certain data assetsAgencies will need to collaborate with other agencies regarding data integration, documentation, access, etc.We will all need to be flexible as we gain experience with this approach

Cloud Computing – Wetlands Mapper
The Wetlands Mapper and data are highly compatible with a Cloud Computing environment
Information is publically available Standards, services, metadata, business practices and
systems requirements were completeCurrently available in the cloud environment
http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Mapper.html
Effective October 1, 2011Fish and Wildlife Service’s Wetlands Mapper is the first geospatial data application to reach an operational Cloud Platform from the Department of InteriorPart of the FGDC’s Technology and Architecture Working Group prototype deployment of public geospatial data and service offerings in a Cloud environment

Metadata SummitFGDC Metadata SummitThursday, October 27, 2011 – all dayUSGS Headquarters Building, Reston, Virginia
FGDC OS is hosting a one day meeting intended to bring NSDI Stakeholders up to date on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) metadata, identify challenges, and set a course for implementation.
The meeting includes: ISO Metadata Standards Status Update Group Discussions: Issues Related to ISO Implementation Group Discussions: Common Solutions to Address Issues Group Discussion: Priorities and Recommendations
This is a highly interactive working meeting and participants are expected to contribute to both the discussions and the action items.
15
Metadata SummitAttendees should have ISO metadata hands-on knowledge sufficient to effectively contribute toward:
The identification of key issues Generation of options for addressing key issues The development strategic solutions
Registration information: http://www.fgdc.gov/site-events/metadata-summit
Participation is limited to 50 attendees, and pre-registration is required.
25 seats will be held for FGDC Member Agencies until October 3. At that point the remaining seats will be released and available for other attendees.
16
Metadata SummitA follow-up WebEx meeting will be held to present the results of the Summit and to solicit additional input.
Non-Federal participants who are part of the FGDC metadata working group are encouraged to attend.
THANKS TO:Federal leads: Jennifer Carlino, USGS; and Vivian Hutchison, USGSSupport and expertise: Jaci Mize, NOAA; Lynda Wayne and Gita Urban-Mathieux, FGDC OS

An annual program to assist the geospatial data community through funding and other resources in implementing the components of the NSDI. Open to State, local and Tribal governments, academia, commercial, and non-profit organizations. Program provides small seed grants to initiate sustainable on-going NSDI implementations. Emphasizes partnerships, collaboration and the leveraging of geospatial resources in achieving its goals. Information at http://www.fgdc.gov/grants
Expected to open for proposal submissions in late October 2011
