Here are the notes from the last call on April 3. We will plan to
continue discussions today at 10am on the specific area of facility
information. (01)
Call: (641) 985-1000 code: 914352# (02)
Notes 4/3 Call: (03)
1. Attendance (04)
Michelle Anthony, USGS
Sandra Downey, GSA
Michael Alford, SRA
Josh Rhodes, SRA
Nadine Alameh, NASA
Twyla McDermott, Charlotte
Julia Harrell, NC DENR
George Percivall, OGC
Dave LaBranche, DISDI
Wendy Blake-Coleman, EPA
John Moeller, NGA (05)
2. Discussion of Pilot activity and relation to LoB (06)
LoB activities are focused on budgeting and finances. There are
overlaps. Applying principles of the Profile are critical to the success
of the LoB. There will be Architecture and a Business Case activities.
Not clear how the joint business case will impact agency BCs. (07)
3. Workplan review, timeline (08)
NASA may apply the Profile in an internal NASA geospatial business
requirements, inventory services, run through all the reference models,
but that would not be fully integrated into the agency. (09)
GSA Office of Govtwide Policy interested in converting geocodes into
FIPS and USGS codes instead of their own codes. Are working on examples
to promote Phase I integration in Pilot. Will want to include geocodes
in the Profile as well as vignettes. Have an MOU with DHS with all the
federal facilities and are geocoding them - a govt-wide land, building,
structures from all agencies. (010)
Dave LaBranche - DISDI is working on architecture within DoD. The
installations are more like a municipality - facilities information -
which may be more unlike other federal agencies. May be opportunities to
bring in facilities management interests from Corps of Engineers. (011)
May be some commonalities between EPA, DoD, Corps, Local government in
facilities information. EPA facilities registry system contains
regulated entities with good geolocation. Could integrate URISA address
standard. DISDI will be outsourcing the SDSFIE, interested in CAD and
building information models. (012)
North Carolina received a CAP grant to develop a software client for
emergency response as a Phase II. Are also very interested in facilities
data. A focus on exchange of facilities information would be very
helpful. NC Division of Forest Resources also interested in wildfires. (013)
EPA Environmental Information Exchange Network (EPA Exchange Nodes) -
secure network between EPA and state collaborators. Would like to use
the network to bi-directional exchange. There have been geospatial
projects in Wisconsin and Minnesota to move hydro, geo. CDC also setting
up similar networks that we need to bridge. (014)
Questions regarding NIEM, OASIS CAP, and EDXL within OGC membership.
Will be some work on this with Sensor Alert Service. Some general
interest in standardizing mechanisms for alerting including the Common
Alert Protocol. (015)
Facilities information access is sensitive to the security issues of
feceral facilities. (016)
4. Identification of candidate activities
a. Phase I organizations (017)
NASA, GSA, DoD DISDI, DOI (018)
b. Phase II organizations (019)
NC DENR, Charlotte, DOI, (020)
Write out what is being done and could be done. EPA has done a lot with
certification and security that is satisfactory to state and local
governments. EPA has several web services on facilities listed in
Geospatial One-Stop (geodata.gov). Many more inside. (021)
FEMA, HUD, EPA, USACE (022)
5. Next Steps (023)
How to convene this activity... Considering setting up an OGC Network as
a persistent demonstration capabilities, would set up capabilities to.
Can be either managed by members or by OGC staff and members. (024)
Will plan to convene a bi-weekly call on Thursday mornings starting on
April 13th. Next meeting will address more focus on areas of common
application: facilities information exchange (025)
