In practice it appears that the *GEA terms are somewhat Overtaken By
Events in our Community of Practice discussions. There may be a notional (010)
set of patterns that we might recognize nationally as a Geospatial
Enterprise Architecture, but it fact we are recognizing that there are
not, rationally, Geospatial EA's that are isolated from the agency and
program EAs. To this end we have adopted the approach of building a
Geospatial Profile of Enterprise Architecture to appeal to all levels of (011)
government, and all aspects of business-oriented EA, with a specific
(but not exclusive) audience being FEA architects and CIO staff. (012)
I would humbly suggest that we retire the use and promotion of NGEA and
UGEA in deference to providing geospatial guidance to EA practices -- a
symmetric approach to the other FEA Profiles. (013)
The FGDC's role is one of supporting intergovernmental coordination of
all things geospatial, and as such has assumed the responsibility to
convene and underwrite document collation and facilitation support on
this task. The CoP is recognized as an FGDC Working Group to increase
awareness and involvement by FGDC members. It is also convened under the (014)
CIO Council AIC for visibility by the non-geospatial IT managers in the
federal government. (015)
What is the role of the GOS, National Map, and NSDI in these efforts?
The Geospatial One-Stop is made concrete through its search and
visualization services of community geographic data and services at
geodata.gov. As such, the adoption of Geospatial profile practices will
increase visibility into and access to available resources of domestic
interest. The National Map is a key set of data layers backed by map and (016)
data services of national scope that will be managed and advertised
using the Geospatial Profile guidance. The NSDI is the fuzzy, umbrella
activity that overlies all these geospatial efforts that is realized
through coordinated efforts by all participants. The NSDI benefits by
having adopted practices and standards as would be espoused in the
Profile and promoted through groups like the FGDC, NSGIC, NACO, NASCIO
and others who all have an interest in things working well together. (017)
