National Spatial Data Infrastructure National Spatial Data Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP)Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP)

Administered by the Federal Geographic Data Committee, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements Program (NSDI CAP) is intended to “fund innovative projects in the geospatial data community to build the infrastructure necessary to effectively discover, access, share, manage, and use digital geographic data.”

2008 CAP Category 52008 CAP Category 5

Category 5: Building data stewardship for The National Map and the NSDI will focus on fostering stewardships for either structures data or for transportation data through best business practices. Primary needs for structures data are the geospatial location, classification, and other characteristics of manmade facilities, based on homeland security requirements. Primary needs for transportation data are updates for features, attributes, and geometry to the baseline roads data developed through Census MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project (MTAIP) sources. The data will be part of a national data inventory of consistent, seamless, integrated data that is continuously improved through the incorporation of data updates from the data community.

Minnesota’s project seeks to develop partnerships and the technical capacity for the statewide collection, publication and long term, sustainable maintenance of four important data layers:

Schools (public and private) Hospitals and clinics Police stations Fire stations

LMIC

Identify existing public/private GIS data resources in Minnesota for structures data

Identify custodians of the most accurate and complete versions of schools, hospitals/clinics, police stations and fire station locations.

Determine minimum attribution requirements for each data type. Consideration will be given to attributes that may not be publicly available due to national security concerns.

Minnesota Structures CAP GrantMinnesota Structures CAP Grant- Project Objectives -- Project Objectives -

LMIC

Harvest available data and assess its resolution, accuracy, completeness and currency.

Propose a stewardship program for each custodian of each structure type that will ensure its yearly update, long-term maintenance and availability. This program will emphasize engaging local government in the process.

Publish the structures data for public consumption through existing federal and state data clearinghouses, portals and web services.

The MetroGIS Data Custodian Roles model will be adapted to initiate a statewide effort to engage local government in maintenance of structure data.

GIS resources at the county level serve as data aggregators to coordinate involvement by county and city staff with detailed knowledge, but not necessarily GIS expertise.

Local aggregators and regional theme managers will be identified through outreach and negotiations, focusing on counties, but leveraging regional government organizations when necessary or when resources are available to supplement county resources.

Collecting / Maintaining DataCollecting / Maintaining Data

Under this grant LMIC and its partners will also explore whether existing web-based tools may be adapted to support the collection and maintenance of schools (public/private), hospitals/clinics, police stations and fire stations and expanded to support other structures data.

What HSIP Gold Is and Is Not!What HSIP Gold Is and Is Not!

What it is:– A unified homeland infrastructure geospatial data

inventory assembled by NGA in partnership with the DHS for common use by the HLS/HD Community (400+ data layers)

– Compilation of best available license-free Federal government and commercial proprietary data

What it isn’t:– The complete answer to all HLS/HD Community

geospatial data needs– A static product

NGA

HSIP GOLD 2007 RestrictionsHSIP GOLD 2007 Restrictions

Data has limited utility at the state and local level

Why ? – Current licenses restrict sharing HSIP Gold with state and local

authorities until the declaration of a Federal state of emergency, at which point the data is too late to be useful.

What is needed to fix this?– Money to upgrade the licenses– A different approach to data sources

How HSIP Freedom WorksHow HSIP Freedom Works

State provides existing government-owned data State and TGS agree on the best way to update / improve

data State coordinates improvement effort TGS updates / improves data Improved data is returned to state State determines how its data will be handled / protected

for non-Federal users. Improved data is provided to NGA No cost to state

HSIP Freedom BenefitsHSIP Freedom Benefits
