  1. Status Briefing to Coordination Group: Proposed Future Role October 13, 2009

  2. FGDC Coordination Group Charter FGDC COORDINATION GROUP CHARTER (Recommended DRAFT August 4, 2009) Approved September 15, 2009 ? PURPOSE This Charter establishes the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Coordination Group, which is charged with the identification, prioritization, implementation, coordination, and oversight of strategies and tasks required to support the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and to coordinate Federal geospatial programs to that end. • COORDINATION GROUP OBJECTIVES • Recommend establishment of Subcommittees and Working Groups to support the use and development of geospatial data and information across Federal geospatial programs in conjunction with public and private sector partners/stakeholders. Annually review and recommend to the FGDC Steering Committee for approval the work plans of Subcommittees and Working Groups.Review progress of Subcommittees and Working Groups regularly at standing meetings, and prescribe midcourse corrections when necessary. SUBCOMMITTEES FGDC Subcommittees are comprised of members who share a common interest in specific types of geospatial data - typically those geospatial data associated with themes specified by OMB Circular A-16. Each Subcommittee focuses on issues that pertain to the completion and lifecycle management of data sets within the theme in which they are associated. WORKING GROUPS FGDC Working Groups are comprised of members who share a common interest addressing issues which cross-cut or are pertinent to multiple themes.

  3. FGDC HSWG Charter (current) PURPOSE: “…to serve as the focal point for identification of geospatial metadata, information content, symbology, interface and other specifications, guidelines, and standards required to ensure that geospatial information technologies support the achievement of these strategic goals of homeland security.” “Another important function of the HSWG is to serve as a bridge between the Homeland Security (HLS) and Homeland Defense (HLD) geospatial domains.” SCOPE: “…identify geospatial information technologies, resources, standards and data applicable to homeland security. It will also identify and address unsatisfied homeland security-related geospatial needs…The HSWG will use nationwide coordination mechanisms between all levels of government to encourage appropriate participation in its activities and to fully inform relevant stakeholders about standards, data production, coordination activities, management planning, and training opportunities.” Membership: “The HSWG shall consist of representatives designated by: a) those Federal agencies that as part of their mission collect or finance the collection of geospatial data that are applicable to homeland security missions, and b) those Federal agencies that are legislatively mandated to directly apply these data (e.g. agencies specified in the National Response Plan and relevant Homeland Security Presidential Directives) in support of homeland security missions.” Responsibility:“…HSWG responsibilities fall into the broad mission areas of Policy Recommendations, Standards, and Coordination.”

WORKING GROUPS FGDC Working Groups are comprised of members who share a common interest addressing issues which cross-cut or are pertinent to multiple themes.

  10. Recommended New Working Group: The National Map (TNM) WORKING GROUPS FGDC Working Groups are comprised of members who share a common interest addressing issues which cross-cut or are pertinent to multiple themes. The National Map As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response. The National Map is easily accessible for display on the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data. The geographic information available from The National Map includes: orthoimagery elevation geographic names hydrography boundaries transportation structures land cover The National Map is a significant contribution to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and currently is being transformed to better serve the geospatial community by providing high quality, integrated geospatial data and improved products and services including new generation digital topographic maps.

  11. Recommended New Working Group:The National Map (TNM)

  12. FGDC & TNM “NGAC will review and make recommendations on key geospatial policy and management issues, including transition recommendations, and issues related to national land parcel data, Imagery for the Nation, Geospatial LoB implementation, and strategies for The National Map.” FGDC 2008 Annual Report The National Map = 8 references Homeland Security Working Group = 4 references* FGDC Website The National Map = 267 items returned Homeland Security Working Group = 92 items returned

  13. NSDI CAP Grants: TNM • CAP Grants • The NSDI Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) is an annual program to assist the geospatial data community through funding and other resources in implementing the components of the NSDI. • Some of the activities supported by the CAP include: • Establishing participation in The National Map • The Building Data Stewardships for The National Map and the NSDI category assists organizations and consortia to develop stewardship agreements and capabilities that provide long-term maintenance of geospatial information that serves all sectors of the community needs. • The vision for the NSDI includes the integration of all levels of government, including the processes for local data to feed into State holdings, which then feed into Federal programs, such as The National Map.

  14. Recommendation: Establish TNM Working Group • COORDINATION GROUP OBJECTIVES • Recommend establishment of Subcommittees and Working Groups to support the use and development of geospatial data and information across Federal geospatial programs in conjunction with public and private sector partners/stakeholders. Annually review and recommend to the FGDC Steering Committee for approval the work plans of Subcommittees, and Working Groups. Review progress of Subcommittees and Working Groups regularly at standing meetings, and prescribe midcourse corrections when necessary. • COORDINATION GROUP: Next Steps • Consensus of CG for the establishment of The National Map Working Group? • Proposed additional Work Group to SAOGI / ExCom
