• Future goals
• Conclusion & Questions

Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership• Similar to North West Data Sharing Network
• Focused on data management and access for FSP
• Representation and support from the forest licensees in Arrow-BoundaryColumbiaKootenay LakeRocky Mountain Forest Districts
and the government ministries of ILMB, MOE, MOFR• www.kootenayspatial.ca began delivering data early 2005
• 2006/2007 Memorandum of Understanding
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
History…History…
Kootenay Spatial Data PartnershipHistory
• Many versions datasets were circulating in the regional GIS community
• In the summer of 2004, a red flag was raised in relation to data access and availability for the preparation of forest stewardship plans
• A joint government and industry partnership was conceived and from which the development of a distribution mechanism for key spatial layers required for FSPs
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
Current Status…Current Status…
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
Goals of MOU:• Increase the quality and reduce the cost of developing FSPs by
making available the most up-to-date spatial layers.
• Increase cooperation between government and licensees for mutual benefit.
• Provide a lead organization to facilitate simplified data-sharing and licensing agreements…
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
Activities:• Maintain the MOU between KSDP partners laying out the
objectives, structure and its terms
• Maintain FSP spatial data with the most up-to-date, quality-controlled spatial layers with metadata
• Problem statements that identify and communicate issues or concerns relating to data that are submitted to data owners for resolution
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
Products:• A data distribution service through the website
• ArcIMF viewing of the spatial layers
• Develop & Maintain reporting software and resultant datasets for Regional Higher Level Plan objectives
Kootenay Spatial Data Partnership
Future…Future…
Future of KSDP• Develop on-line capacity to update data using licensees’ data. i.e.
riparian classification, roads, POD’s
• Develop automated overlay, analysis and reporting tools for HLP monitoring
• Extend value-added tools for resultant datasets by developing timber, economic and environmental supply modelling and reporting
• Develop strategies similar to NWDSN for self-sufficiency in funding
Conclusion
• Continuing support from all sectors keeps KSDP working
• Selkirk GeoSpatial Research Center provides great support for the web and internet mapping services
• Attain self-sufficiency or purely government delivered service…
