GIS Inventory TUgis2011 Presentation
- 1. The Maryland GIS Inventory Challenge This is your state. This is your inventory.
- 2. What was the GIS Inventory Challenge? • Maryland’s three-week effort to list the state’s GIS inventory in Ramona. (February 7 – February 28) • Created by NSGIC to help both data producers and data consumers nationwide by providing a consolidated search for GIS data created by multiple jurisdictions and agencies. • Ramona allows others to learn about the data your agency creates and maintains.
- 3. Benefits 1. Listing your inventory in Ramona connects you, both locally and nationally. 2. Listing your inventory in Ramona communicates our statewide progress and success. 3. Ramona offers an up-to-date inventory by data layer. 4. Ramona creates starter metadata. 5. Ramona offers the ability to generate reports.
- 4. Benefits 6. The Maryland GIS Inventory Challenge promotes statewide coordination. 7. Ramona offers convenient search capabilities for GIS data throughout Maryland, all in one place. 8. Ramona provides the big picture. 9. Ramona provides what one participating state calls an “online Rolodex of GIS data providers.”
- 5. GIS Inventory Month • Governor’s Proclamation declares February as GIS Inventory Month! • http://www.msgic.state.md.us/events/gisinvmonth/GovProc2011.pdf
- 6. Who Completed the Inventory? • Data Producers – Local government organizations – Regional government organizations – State government organizations – Commercial providers
- 7. Expectations • Not a lot of effort was needed! • The inventory can be completed in two steps. 1. Create your profile. 2. Inventory individual data layers. • Approximately 20 minutes to create the profile. • 30 seconds to 2 minutes per data layer.
- 8. Framework Layers The goal was for agencies to list, at a minimum, the following framework layers in Ramona • Boundaries • Location Cities/Towns/Municipalities; Address Points; Geographic Place Counties; State Names; Geodetic Control Points / • Elevation Networks Contours; DEM • Planning/Cadastral • Imagery/Base Maps/Earth Cover Centroids/Vector Parcels Orthoimagery/Digital • Transportation Orthophotography; Land Cover Roads/Street Centerlines; Mass Transit • Inland Waters Bus/Rail; Railroads Hydrography; Watershed Boundaries Airports & Airfields
- 9. GIS Inventory Challenge Results • 1,109 data layers registered to the State of Maryland 426 state agency data layers 14 private entity data layers 2 regional group data layers 1 federal agency data layer 666 county data layers

- 13. Next Steps • Verify contacts & information entered • Education and outreach • Continued push for more data
- 14. What’s in it for you? • Data consumers: – The place to go to search for Maryland data – Search for the data you want, and the website will direct you to the download page if available – Participation of data producers is important
- 15. What’s in it for you? • Data producers: – Gets your data out there – Brings traffic to your website – Allows other organizations to see what you have and what you are working on, enabling easier collaboration
- 16. Early Adopters • Private Industry: Chris Holub, Dewberry – Ramona helps to optimize our data mining process in the proposal stage by allowing a one-stop portal for the data that we are looking for. – It helps to avoid wasted phone calls and emails to the wrong people when looking for data, saving time, money, and frustration for both parties. – We will know that we are getting the most up to date data directly from the proper source, the first time we look for it.
- 17. Early Adopters • County Government: Rob Slivinsky, Howard County – Easy to use and create records – A comprehensive data discovery tool for data seekers – A tool I can use and send to users asking about my datasets – A great place to start documenting your data even if you do not have metadata – NSGIC is government based organization
- 18. Early Adopters • Federal Government: William Burgess, NSGIC – FEMA’s Map Modernization Program –staff have administrative privileges in the system to aid them in locating base imagery and elevation models for map production. – The National Digital Orthophoto Programs Committee has access to the orthoimagery information in Ramona. – The National Digital Elevation Data Program Committee has access to the elevation information in Ramona. – All Federal agencies use the Geospatial One Stop Portal to locate geospatial data. – USGS staff have used Ramona to form orthoimagery production partnerships with end-of-year funds that they needed to quickly encumber.
