  1. ERM E-Gov InitiativeTransfer of Permanent Geospatial Data Records to NARA Briefing for FGDC Coordination Group Bruce Ambacher, NARA September 2, 2003

  2. ERM E-Gov Initiative Overview • 1 of 24 initiatives • NOT an IT web-based product like Geospatial One Stop • http://www.archives.gov/records_management/initiatives/erm_overview.html

  3. ERM E-Gov VISION • To effectively manage and facilitate access to agency information in order to support and accelerate decision making and ensure accountability.

  4. ERM E-Gov Goals • To integrate e-records management concepts and practices with comprehensive information management policies, processes and objectives to assure the integrity of e-records and information. • To employ ERM to support interoperability, timely and effective decision making, and improved services to customers. • To provide the tools for agencies to access e-records for as long as required and to transfer permanent e-records to NARA for preservation and future use by government and citizens.

  5. Issue Areas - Partner Agency Leads • Issue Area 1 - Correspondence Tracking (DoE) • Issue Area 2 - Enterprise-wide ERM (EPA) • Issue Area 3 - Information Management Standards (DoD) • Issue Area 4 - Transfer of Permanent Electronic Records (NARA)

  6. FY 2003 Progress - Issue Area 4 • Issue Area 4: Transfer of Permanent Electronic Records to NARA • Lead Partner Agency: NARA • Community-articulated Purpose: This issue area will address an expansion of both the number of formats NARA can accept, and the media and techniques that can be used by Federal agencies when transferring their permanently valuable electronic records to the National Archives of the United States.

  7. FY 2003 Products - Issue Area 4 • Rule authorizing DLT/FTP transfer mechanisms • Electronic Records Transfer Guidance • e-mail with attachments in native format (09/30/02) • scanned images of text (12/23/02) • Portable Document Format (03/31/03) • XML schemata for transfer (06/20/03)

  9. FY 2004 Activities - Issue Area 4 • Training & guidance on ERM topics • Three additional transfer formats • Digital Photography (July - Nov. 2003) • Geospatial Data (Nov. 2003 - Apr. 2004) • Web pages (Apr. - Sept. 2004)

  10. Transfer Cycle 5 • Digital Geospatial Records • Timeline • November 12, 2003 -- April 15, 2004 • Partner Agency Meeting - • December 2, 2003 • February 5, 2004 • Product • Transfer Requirements for Existing Geospatial Data Records

  11. Geospatial Data Transfer Cycle Methodology - 1 • Research • data type characteristics • formats used in Federal Government • software applications in use • agency activities • standards in use/applicable • Agency Meetings

  12. Geospatial Data Transfer Cycle Methodology - 2 • Pilot Transfers • Questionnaire • Agencies send by December 15, 2003 • NARA processing through January 31, 2004

  13. Geospatial Data Transfer Cycle Methodology - 3 • Guidance Phase • February 2, 2004 - Draft to Partner Agencies • February 5, 2004 - Partner Agency Meeting • March 17 - 31, 2004 - Partner Agency Review • Memo to Records Officers with Geospatial Data Transfer Guidance, April 15, 2004, (Interim until ERA)

  16. Geospatial Data Transfer Cycle Issues • What else could be in new transfer guidance? • SDTS revision • GML 3 • VPF, DIGEST

  17. Geospatial Data Transfer Cycle Issues • Issues probably beyond this Transfer guidance: • licensing - secondary use rights • data ownership (federal, state, local) • interoperability vs. “archiving” • Clearinghouse vs. “archiving”
