AccomplishmentsThe GIS Hub provides a buffet of data:

Hub Explorer – interactive map for data display, query, and download, template for agency applicationsMetadata Explorer – search for data, find information on the data, download dataFTP – download raster dataWeb Services – stream vector and raster data to desktop application

6

AccomplishmentsVector download via Metadata Explorer and Hub Explorer – 48GB downloaded since March 2004Hub Explorer upgraded – folders for layers and improved printingMetadata Explorer – New categories: in progress and downloadable dataRaster download via FTP – 1TB downloaded since June 2004Grant from the USGS for National Map WMS

7

AccomplishmentsCoordinated Training – From February 2002 through March 2004, we have saved $39,000 in training costs aloneThe GIS Hub metadata on Geodata.govGIS software in schools – GIS Day*Developed GIS Initiative brochureSeven-year plan – “Vision Document” developed (some in this presentation): (http://www.state.nd.us/gis/about/goals/)

Accomplishments - ApplicationsDevils Lake Risk AssessmentSales Tax RatesDOT: Road Conditions, Load Restrictions, Road ConstructionState Water Commission: Well Inventory, Precipitation InformationGame and Fish: Updated web site

9

Accomplishments – Hub UsageAveraging 35 concurrent database connections from state agency users15 agencies set up for accessGIS Hub Explorer: averaged 13,700 initial hits/month February-October and 97,800 requests/month same period

10

Current WorkRoll multiple Hub Explorers into oneMerging in the Geological Survey clearinghouse (GS web page will point to Hub)Data compilation

11

GoalsContribute GIS Hub OGC web services to the USGS “National Map”Work more closely with local government, identify partnering opportunities:

Data sharing & hostingData acquisitionMetadata hosting

Others listed in Vision DocumentFunding for 2005-2007

Discussion – State-wide Data PrioritiesNDGIS Listserv suggestions (not ranked)

Physiographic regions

Improved soil attributes

Improved water attributes

Outcrop mapping

Coal/oil/other mineral resources

Biology: endangered species habitat, weed & wildflower range, forest location & composition

Weather: storm-prone areas, seasonal degree growing days

25

Discussion – Collaboration IdeasData Collection & Funding

How do we communicate collection plans?Ideas for co-funding collection

Standards DevelopmentSharing of existing state/federal standardsDevelopment of new state standards

Metadata Hosting on the GIS HubHub hosts local government and other’s metadata.Data provider submits metadata to the HubSearches direct the user to the data source
