Place-Based PolicyExecutive Office of the President Memorandum M-09-28: “Developing Effective Place-Based Policies for the FY 2011 Budget, August 11, 2009”OMB Budget Data Request No. 09-42: “Place-Based Policies and Programs”
“… to advance the Administration’s domestic and fiscal priorities and to increase the impact of government dollars by leveraging place-conscious planning and place-based programming.” “Place-based policies leverage investments by focusing resources in targeted places and drawing on the compounding effect of well-coordinated action. Effective place-based policies can influence how rural and metropolitan areas develop, how well they function as places to live, work, operate a business, preserve heritage, and more. Such policies can also streamline otherwise redundant and disconnected programs.”FGDC support and participation in Place-based policies under discussion

Data.gov
Contact: Ken Shaffer, [email protected] ahead: none
New Concept of Operations (ConOps) document should be available soonIncorporates suggestions from the FGDC ExComMetadata quality issues need further discussion
17
Data.gov
Possible crowd-sourcing techniques “… ability to tag local landmarks or points of interest
in geospatial data …”
“APIs can be built to ‘mine’ that metadata for the elements needed to populate its metadata template. Such is the case for the geospatial datasets incorporated from the Geospatial One Stop (GOS) (geoData.gov).”FGDC identified as key member of advisory groupEven more advanced forms of search like geospatial search are being targeted for future releases.
18
Data.gov
“Agencies that have geospatial data are in many cases publishing that data to Geospatial One Stop (GOS) today. The harvesting process used by GOS is mirrored in the conceptual solution architecture described above and points to a roadmap for further integration. The Data.gov team will work with the GOS team to pursue further integration of GOS into Data.gov.”Metrics – ex: number of shapefile downloads, completeness of metadata, data sets per agency.

FGDC Standards Process Analysis
FGDC standards process - Pros Based on best-practices Mirrors other National/International
standards bodies processes FGDC standards are recognized
nationally and internationally as legitimate standards
They often lead to and/or complement other standards bodies standards
Contact: Julie Binder Maitra, [email protected] ahead: none
29
FGDC Standards Process Analysis
FGDC standards process – Cons Can take years to adopt a standard Participation by FGDC agencies in
some standards review is less than optimal
Relies solely on voluntary efforts (A-16 Supplemental begins addressing this)
30
FGDC Standards Process Analysis
FGDC Secretariat developing a survey Input on effectiveness of the current process Ideas on how we might improve the current
process (i.e. tools, participation, visibility, etc.)
Follow-up with a workshopNeed to maintain the validity of FGDC standards processApproach and plan development for the analysis to be outlined this month
