AccomplishmentsCore services continue to evolve:
Hub Explorer Metadata Explorer FTP Web Services
Database is growing: 1600gb compared to 569gb in August 2004Rolled multiple Hub Explorers into oneFunding for 2005-2007
7
Accomplishments – GIS Hub UsageData downloads: Since March 2004 49,500 downloads, totalling 3.7 terabytesDatabase: 35+ daily concurrent connections from state agency usersWeb applications: YTD averaging 60,000 hits per month
8
GIS Hub Usage – October 5 Snow

GIS Hub Usage – Sept. 8 All Services
10
Accomplishments – General Coordinated Training – From February 2002 through June 2005, state agencies combined have saved nearly $52,000 in training costs alone. 120+ trained.The GIS Hub data on geodata.gov and nationalmap.govOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Service (WMS) is available
11
Accomplishments – General GIS software in schools – 20+ schools and 5 community colleges currently involvedNAIP 2003 is a realitySigned MOU with Community GIS Technical Committee (CGISTC, led by Richland County)ND GIS web site updated

Accomplishments – ApplicationsDOT – ‘quick map’ applicationDepartment of Health – internal applicationGame and Fish – updated Hub ExplorerParks and Recreation – hosting of NatureServe BioticsDepartment of Agriculture – groundwater pesticide sensitivity
16
Accomplishments – ND ConferencesStarted out as GIS Day, transition to Users Conference beginning with 2005Registered attendance levels:
2001: 40+ 2002: 100 2003: 120 2004: 95 2005: 110
17
Current WorkMerging the Geological Survey clearinghouse is still in progressData: NAIP, aquifers, HUC, 24k hydro, National Geographic DRGs, NWI, SSURGOApps: Rangeland Fire Index, CommerceStreamlined Sales TaxReplace Vision Document with Strategic Plan format
18
Goals – General Work more closely with local & federal government, identify partnering opportunitiesServer upgrades – ESRI software and hardware (ArcIMS and ArcSDE)Web tools – enhance Hub ExplorerExpand WMS
19
Goals – General Streamline data loadingImproved raster downloadingInvolvement with National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) – standards, policies, technology, etc. to facilitate data sharing and data useSign NSDI agreement with USGS
20
Goals – Data These are in addition to the on-going data projectsNAIP 2005 (1m)Local data:
Bismarck-Mandan aerial photography Cass County
Update 30-meter Level 1 DEMs and others as budget allowsRoad centerlines – possible pilot
21
Goals (longer term) – Data Geodetic survey layerCadastralAdditional local data from cities and countiesOther “framework” layers – more info after break
22
Hub Data – The ApproachOverview of Process
Submitted by a data stewardReviewed by Data Oversight CommitteePushed into productionSet up for download and web services
ResourcesUsing the tools available at an agencyAgency fits in the work as they can Outsourcing?
23
Hub Data – Current Projects UpdateHydrologic Unit Boundary – Ann FritzAquifer update – Rod Bassler24k hydrographic update – Rod BasslerNAIP – Brian Hosek

Finally…
BREAK TIME !
25
Discussion – State-wide Data PrioritiesSuggestionsNeedsWants
26
Discussion – State-wide Data PrioritiesSuggestions from last year
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
Any others?
27
Discussion – State-wide Data PrioritiesExecutive GISTC Priorities
Road centerlinesElevation – replace Level 1 DEMs first, state-wide in futureContinue acquiring NAIP
Framework layers
28
Framework LayersFramework layers are part of the NSDI, more information at http://www.fgdc.gov/framework/framework.htmlFramework layers are essential for emergency management, applicationsFramework layers can include both federal and state categories

Discussion – State-wide Data PrioritiesNow that we’ve looked at some ideas, what is the group’s data priorities for Executive GISTC?
First?Second?Third?
31
Discussion – Partnership IdeasMOUsData sharing – mutual benefitData collection – communicate plansStandards developmentMetadata hosting – Cass County is doing this, who else is interested?

Future Users ConferencesNeed your feedback and direction!Frequency? Time of year?Topics?Duration?Location:
Bismarck, other city, casino (logistics?)Alternate with South Dakota?!
34
Other Workshops & ConferencesND GIS Workshops
In the past: Remote Sensing, Mobile GISFuture topics?
MidAmerica GIS Consortium (MAGIC)$225 full registrationEvery two years in Kansas CityPossible grant programhttp://magicweb.kgs.ku.edu/
