Goals for the NSDI
Rich data holdings in many hands Skilled expertise of many entities Data continually acquired in many ways Great advances in many technologies Endless potential for many uses Essential partnerships in many communities
NGPO Background
Charge from USGS Director, August 2004
Strategic Alignment of Activities National leadership of
highly visible, high-demand geospatial programs
Time to bring it all together
National GeospatialLeadership
Direct Support to DOI
Coordination Across Government
A Bold Step
National Geospatial Programs Office Align national geospatial activities and responsibilities
Federal Geographic Data Committee Geospatial One Stop The National Map Interior Enterprise GIS
Reaffirm the direction of individual activities Expand partnership offices Assess USGS geospatial products and services
Geographic Research Focus
Vision of National Geospatial Programs Office
Equals vision of the NSDI “ Current and accurate
geospatial data will be readily available on a local, national and global basis to contribute to economic growth, environmental quality and stability and social progress”.
NGPO Role in NSDI
Embrace national leadership Realign for a future we envision together Be unconstrained by today or yesterday – how we
look today is not how we will look tomorrow
NGPO Directions
Unify and simplify Act as one Achieve management excellence Include partners in all aspects
NGPO Commitments
Work in an integrated fashion Listen to one another Rely on one another Common vision of shared future
Implement partnerships with purpose Work as partners inside and outside the organization Push for incentives
Emphasize standards and data models Create once, use many Best practices – share knowledge
Have a bias for action The future is ours to realize
Transformation Process
Co-locate Integrate Optimize
Initial NGPO Charge
Develop and deliver plan for the National Geospatial Programs Office
Contribute to completion of the NSDI Future Directions Initiative
Ensure the two plans complement one another Seek partner involvement at every stage
NSDI Future Directions
Forging Partnerships with Purpose Making the Framework Real Communicating the Message
Realize NSDI vision of “current geospatial data being readily available across the country”

Unified Geospatial Enterprise Architecture
Context Enterprise Architecture for NSDI Federal Enterprise Architecture EA in Federal and state agencies
Charge Recommend an approach for unifying disparate
geospatial architecture efforts, aligning them with the Federal Enterprise Architecture and accommodating the needs of the non-Federal community
Geospatial Technology Integration
Context Disparate, confusing systems Customers need better service from systems Redundant and duplicative systems are not
economical
Charge Develop a technical vision, “modernization
blueprint,” and a systems integration plan for NGPO systems
Partnership Offices
Context Existing Mapping Partnership Offices Expanding expectations Landscape is where things happen
Charge Develop a plan for restructuring and re-scoping
USGS Mapping Partnership Offices and the mapping liaison function to represent full portfolio of NGPO activities
Unified NSDI Web Presence
Context Current Web presence lacks coherence Potential of the Web to be realized
Charge Develop a plan to unify Web activities of the
individual entities of the NGPO and create a unified NSDI Web presence
Measuring Geospatial Investments
Context Recent questions and findings from GAO, OMB,
etc. Responsible to taxpayers and stakeholders
Charge Develop a proposal for how the NGPO might
assist OMB in measuring geospatial investments and developing an investment strategy for the Federal Government
USGS Geospatial Products and Services
Context Proud history of products and services Continued and changing demand Managing customer expectations
Charge Develop recommendations for a suite of 21st
century geospatial products and services that USGS is uniquely positioned to offer
Engaging Customers and Partners
National meetings Focus groups and teams Peer reviews and reports Additional listening sessions Email input
