  15. DRAPP • Denver Regional Aerial Photography Project • 90% done with spring acquisition • Data served via WMS starting in early summer • Next DRAPP Meeting – April 25th

  16. The DRDC Vision • Increasing collaboration in the region; • Sharing data across jurisdictional boundaries; • Creating standards to ensure data consistency, quality, and effectiveness; • Creating and maintaining regional datasets.

  17. Strategy for 2012 Other challenges and solutions?

  18. DRCOG Leadership • DRCOG will provide a chair co-chair to each subcommittee. • Goal: Ensure the success of the subcommittees by: • Facilitating meetings; • Strengthening communication within and between subcommittees; • Helping to set objectives; • Managing project schedules; • Providing technical advice to get over technology hurdles.

  19. Expectations for Members • Subcommittee members can contribute by: • Providing existing data; • Providing input and expertise; • Allocating time to work on project objectives – during and outside of subcommittee meeting times; • Making a commitment to help determine and then help achieve subcommittee objectives.

  20. Return on Investment • As a subcommittee member, what do you get in return for your time, effort, and/or data? • Better data; • Regional standards; • Hosted solution for data distribution through DRCOG’s regional data catalog; • DRCOG API for faster web map creation; • DRCOG’s web map gallery; • Increased collaboration and communication with your neighbors.

  21. Subcommittee/Dataset Brainstorming • Subcommittee examples: • Special District & Administrative Boundaries • Utility and Service Area Boundaries • Open Space Types • Drainage/Watersheds/ Flood Plains • Small Communities • Bicycle Trails • Demographics • Energy • Sustainability • What subcommittees should there be? • What datasets would be most useful? • What time commitment is reasonable?

  22. Determining the 2012 Direction • Limiting number of subcommittees so DRCOG and interested parties can take a more active role. • Survey to attendees following this meeting. Please indicate the committees that you would be willing to serve on, considering the expectations for time commitment.
