  1. The NRInfo Portal as the Springboard for DOI-Wide Collaboration Brent Frakes, Functional Analyst

  2. Challenges for Data Sharing, Integration, Dissemination to Address Climate Change • Need to discover, share, have access to large holdings of data and information to address rapid climate change • e. g., geospatial data, imagery, water quantity & quality, soils, vegetation, invasive species, land cover and use, status and trends of plant and animal populations, to name a few • Multiple scientific and resource management disciplines • Multiple scales, multiple agencies • Data are stored at thousands of locations in a variety of formats; many methods needed to access them • Most of the data and information we need exists or will exist in databases and sources outside of the DOI

  3. DOI-Wide Climate Change Strategy • Ken Salazar’s Secretarial Order #3289 (September 14, 2009) • Titled “Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change on America’s Water, Land and Other Natural and Cultural Resources” • Emphasis on climate change science, adaptation, and mitigation • Requires that critical data be shared among scientists in many groups and in many different organizations • Established teams to figure out how to implement

  4. Teams • Data System Design Team - Focused on the development of the information system architecture, systems integration and system implementation and operations • Integration, Observations and Assessments Team - Identifying the necessary common data sets needed to identify key environmental indicators and address resource management issues.  Provide guidance for developing standards for the collection, use and assessment of information

  5. Teams’ Purpose • Ensure a cohesive strategy for observations and data management • Chartered to develop a strategy, design and implement plan • An integrated research and long-term observing network built on an alliance of existing and new DOI and partner programs • An enterprise data discovery, integration, and management system for organizing, synthesizing and disseminating information

  6. Team Members

  7. Major Milestones • Data Integration Team Workshop (12/7 – 12/9) • Scenario review • Candidate solution evaluation • Identification of national scale critical datasets • Governance concepts • Final Report elements and structure OCIO Briefing (12/22) Report Delivered (1/31) Task Force Briefing (1/7) OCIO Briefing (1/28) Initial Rough Draft Report (12/30) Scope and Objective Defined (11/10) Stakeholder Analysis (11/15) January 2011 September / October 2010 November 2010 December 2010 Target Solution Phases (11/26) Team Kick-off (10/22) LCC/CSC Leadership Briefing (1/12) Solutions / Functions Matrix (12/17) National LCC Workshop (11/2 – 11/4) Deputy Secretary’s Memo (9/3) Candidate Solutions Identification (12/1) First Draft Target Architecture (1/4)

  8. Team Recommendations • …the National Park Service – Natural Resource Program Center’s Natural Resource data and Information Portal (NRInfo Portal) has been identified as having the core capabilities upon which the enterprise solution can be based. While this solution is currently primarily focused on the needs of the National Park Service, it has been developed with a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach that is in line with the enterprise solution…and it should provide the capabilities to deliver immediate term results as well as a platform to support future needs… • …the NR Info solution upon which the Enterprise Service Bus will be established also has core data catalog capabilities that employ the Dublin Core standard. Thus, by leveraging this standard and the NR Info catalog capabilities, the Enterprise Information Solution can be implemented in a more rapid manner…

  9. Internal Data Shared Data User Communities The Goal of Web Services NPS NPS Land Managers & Planners Researchers FWS FWS • Each agency maintains their data systems, yet make portions of their data available for sharing by using a common set of standards and processes. Bureau “Ologists” USGS USGS LCC or other Portals NASA NASA NOAA NOAA NOAA General Public States, Tribes Data.gov

  10. Ideal Web Services • Modular • Build once and reuse • No redundancy of functionality • Supports unstructured and structured enterprise information Aggregate- Specialized Research Permitting and Reporting NPSpecies Inventory Tracking Match Lists Reference Vouchers Primitive - Common Taxonomy File Identity Units Notification

  11. Proposed Major Implementation Stages – Phase One Phase One – Immediate Actions (February – September 2011)

  12. Proposed Major Implementation Stages – Phase Two Phase Two – Longer Term Strategic Actions (FY11 – FY12)

  13. Current Status of this Proposal • Waiting for review, funding and approval by DOI • Very optimistic budget schedule • NPS is a key leader in the integration of information across the DOI
