  1. A Bold Step for the National Spatial Data Infrastructure:The National Geospatial Programs Office Karen Siderelis USGS Associate Director for Geospatial Information A Dialog with MAGIC on the Changing Geospatial Information Landscape November 12, 2004 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

  2. Goals for the NSDI • Rich data holdings in many hands • Skilled expertise of many entities • Data continually acquired in many ways • Great advances in many technologies • Endless potential for many uses • Essential partnerships in many communities

  3. National Geospatial Leadership Coordination Across Government Direct Support to DOI NGPO Background • Charge from USGS Director, August 2004 • Strategic Alignment of Activities • National leadership of highly visible, high-demand geospatial programs • Time to bring it all together

  4. A Bold Step • National Geospatial Programs Office • Align national geospatial activities and responsibilities • Federal Geographic Data Committee • Geospatial One Stop • The National Map • Interior Enterprise GIS • Reaffirm the direction of individual activities • Expand partnership offices • Assess USGS geospatial products and services • Geographic Research Focus

  5. Vision of National Geospatial Programs Office • Equals vision of the NSDI • “ Current and accurate geospatial data will be readily available on a local, national and global basis to contribute to economic growth, environmental quality and stability and social progress”.

  6. NGPO Role in NSDI • Embrace national leadership • Realign for a future we envision together • Be unconstrained by today or yesterday – how we look today is not how we will look tomorrow

  7. NGPO Directions • Unify and simplify • Act as one • Achieve management excellence • Include partners in all aspects

  8. NGPO Commitments • Work in an integrated fashion • Listen to one another • Rely on one another • Common vision of shared future • Implement partnerships with purpose • Work as partners inside and outside the organization • Push for incentives • Emphasize standards and data models • Create once, use many • Best practices – share knowledge • Have a bias for action • The future is ours to realize

  9. Transformation Process • Co-locate • Integrate • Optimize

  10. Initial NGPO Charge • Develop and deliver plan for the National Geospatial Programs Office • Contribute to completion of the NSDI Future Directions Initiative • Ensure the two plans complement one another • Seek partner involvement at every stage

  11. NSDI Future Directions • Forging Partnerships with Purpose • Making the Framework Real • Communicating the Message • Realize NSDI vision of “current geospatial data being readily available across the country”

  12. NGPO Core Team • Sponsors of Study Teams • Prepare Final Plan and Report for USGS Director • “Pillars” • Ivan DeLoatch, Federal Geographic Data Committee • Mark DeMulder, Geospatial One Stop • Hank Garie, Cooperative Topographic Mapping Program • Bob Pierce, Interior Enterprise Geographic Information Management • Stan Ponce, Partnerships and External Coordination

  13. Study Teams • Unified Geospatial Enterprise Architecture • Core Team Sponsor – Ivan DeLoatch • Geospatial Technology Integration • Core Team Sponsor – Hank Garie • Partnership Offices • Core Team Sponsor – Stan Ponce • Unified NSDI Web Presence • Core Team Sponsor – Bob Pierce • Measuring Geospatial Investments • Core Team Sponsor – Mark DeMulder • USGS Geospatial Products and Services • Core Team Sponsor – Mark DeMulder

  14. Unified Geospatial Enterprise Architecture • Context • Enterprise Architecture for NSDI • Federal Enterprise Architecture • EA in Federal and state agencies • Charge • Recommend an approach for unifying disparate geospatial architecture efforts, aligning them with the Federal Enterprise Architecture and accommodating the needs of the non-Federal community

  15. Geospatial Technology Integration • Context • Disparate, confusing systems • Customers need better service from systems • Redundant and duplicative systems are not economical • Charge • Develop a technical vision, “modernization blueprint,” and a systems integration plan for NGPO systems

  16. Partnership Offices • Context • Existing Mapping Partnership Offices • Expanding expectations • Landscape is where things happen • Charge • Develop a plan for restructuring and re-scoping USGS Mapping Partnership Offices and the mapping liaison function to represent full portfolio of NGPO activities

  17. Unified NSDI Web Presence • Context • Current Web presence lacks coherence • Potential of the Web to be realized • Charge • Develop a plan to unify Web activities of the individual entities of the NGPO and create a unified NSDI Web presence

  18. Measuring Geospatial Investments • Context • Recent questions and findings from GAO, OMB, etc. • Responsible to taxpayers and stakeholders • Charge • Develop a proposal for how the NGPO might assist OMB in measuring geospatial investments and developing an investment strategy for the Federal Government

  19. USGS Geospatial Products and Services • Context • Proud history of products and services • Continued and changing demand • Managing customer expectations • Charge • Develop recommendations for a suite of 21st century geospatial products and services that USGS is uniquely positioned to offer

  20. Engaging Customers and Partners • National meetings • Focus groups and teams • Peer reviews and reports • Additional listening sessions • Email input • geocustomer@usgs.gov

  21. Framing Your Comments • Aligning Geospatial Programs: What’s the Harmony? • Partnerships: What’s the Right Relationship? • USGS Products and Services: What’s the Future Market?
