+ 7+ 7The National Map Corps• The National Map Corps volunteers are

successfully editing structures in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Structures include schools, hospitals, post offices, police stations and other important public buildings.

• Volunteers collect and/or improve structures data by adding new features, removing obsolete points, and correcting existing data using a web-based mapping tool. Both newly collected and modified point features become part of the USGS National Structures Database, The National Map, and ultimately U.S. Topo Maps.

Where We Are● Download Mentality

○ We show users where data exists. (WMS & API)○ We offer visualization of the data through services. (WMS) ○ We package data into products of various formats and extents for download.○ We provide limited direct access to data through services. (WFS, WCS)

● Impractical with Big Data○ Packaged products can't be used directly without unzipping.○ TBs of data aren't easily processed on Desktops. ○ Existing standard services (WCS, WFS) address some, but not all, needs.○ Many use cases are still undefined and require custom workflows.

Where We Want To Be

● Download as Last Resort Mentality○ Store data in unzipped, optimal formats ready for direct

processing by standard services or custom processes.

○ Provide basic visualization, analysis and extraction functions through services on an open platform.

○ The platform additionally provides the potential processing capacity for building unforeseen custom workflows and processes against big data.

+ 22Goal

■ Centralize Unzipped, Optimized Data in the Cloud■ For direct use by our own services.■ For direct use by others without downloading/copying.

■ Provide basic standardized services for visualization, analysis and extraction. For example: WMS, WFS, WCS, etc.

■ Allow Others to Leverage Cloud Computing Capacities■ Scalable computing power with direct access to data■ Build-your-own possibilities within the cloud
