Functionality of Database
Simple Data Viewer, both a technically orientated and a “managers”
Web Mapping
-
Tier this for users, usability test/focus
Link basic users to Website for NSSI
Web Services OGC standards (Web Map Service, WLS)
High bandwidth download ability (use by professional GIS/Imagery) (projection, datum)
Field Download
Search Engine Approach (Mapping and data combined)
- by location (lat/long and T and R, Meridan
-
keyword
temporal
Native place names
Data summarization capability (basic data query)
Technical Support Availability (forum)
Metadata Services
- temporal/refresh
Update Notification/Subscription Services
- email, RSS
- web page (what’s new)
- version identification capability
Mandatory Login Capability (basic users will be linked to NSSI website)
Enhanced Metadata Capability
- larger
- smaller paraphase
Multiple projections
- UTM, state plane, NAD 27 and 83, W
- GS 84, Albers, lat/long
Distributed System versus Central Repository
- BLM will have to use central data repository
- Other data would have to be served via a distributed system
- From GINA perspective what would make sense (proposal
implementation plan)
- Data providers/data host responsibilities
- QA/QC
Open/Closed Sides for GINA (who will manage restrictive data)
Closed Data Examples:
Endangered Species Act
Marine Mammals
Agency sensitive species
Cultural data
Over Arching Need: Data Sharing Agreement
Next Steps
Prioritization of base data layers (what does NSSI need to be functional)
- condition
- cost
- importance
*Assignment (Tom, Tim, Mark, Doug and Rich to populate and test
functionally)
AGDC subgroups (work with Carl and Rich)
Report to Oversight Group and Science Technical Group
Potential Barriers
Combining data layers may cause some “sensitivity” among agencies or users
