Geospatial One-Stop and The National Map

Tools for Data Access

Rob Dollison rdollison@usgs.gov

1. Objective of the Initiative

Geospatial One-Stop (GOS)

Provide online discovery and access to geospatial resources (data, applications, web sites) across all levels of government

Develop standards and models to support the exchange of data and facilitate web services

Promote partnerships among Federal, state, and local agencies

Reduce redundant investments and facilitate cost sharing

Make it easier, faster and less expensive to find and use geospatial data

Geospatial One-Stop Portal

2. GOS Summary & Background

Two E-Government Geospatial Initiatives Geospatial One-Stop (technical geographic component) Geospatial Line of Business (Fed policy & services component)

Geospatial One-Stop USGS serves as the Managing Partner The National Geospatial Program (NGP) office uses GOS to

bring increased visibility and implementation of the NSDI
