Identify common capabilities to allow cost-benefit ROI for shared services associated with each lifecycle phase • Task 3: Review component themes of A-16 and reconcile with user needs Vision: • Improve government support of Federal agency missions and business activities related to the creation, collection, use, and distribution of A-16 data sets though consistent management processes as well as harmonized data definitions, feature classes, and standards

  6. Lifecycle Management Work Group Key Work Plan Milestones: • FDGC approved lexicon of geospatial terminology (May 31, 2008) • Proposal for government-wide management of data lifecycle for most significant data sets (September 30, 2009) • Develop theme leads and data stewards, repeatable process for modifying A-16 appendices, and recommendations for specific A-16 changes (September 30, 2009) Next Steps: • Provide theme and dataset definitions for FGDC review April 2008 • Convene first Data Lifecycle Subgroup meeting early April 2008 (tentative) • Complete Matrix of 35 themes; aligning theme datasets and contacts April 11 • Recommend theme lead and data steward roles/responsibilities: April 11 • Recommend FGDC staff position for theme coordination April 17 • Recommend process to validate theme leads April 17 • Finalize draft lexicon of geospatial terminology April 30 • Complete criteria for adding/deleting/prioritizing A-16 theme/dataset June 30 • Convene Theme Leader Summit, with the Performance Management June 2008 Work Group

  7. A-16 Theme Definitions

  8. To theme or not to theme… • No repeatable, neutral, process exists for adding or deleting items from A-16 • Some thoughts on a process: • Themes will be ranked for consideration in OMB Circular A16 according to an index of verifiable criteria to become a “theme” • Any theme's significance will be measured by grouping within this ranking • The utility, validity, and performance of the NSDI will be evaluated by successful lifecycle management of themes within these groupings • Themes will align with those of ISO 19115/TC 211 to the extent practical and consistent with other US missions • After identifying/ refining the elements that constitute the criteria, the Criteria will be test again two type of data sets, namely HSPD-7 and non- HSPD-7, i.e. A-16 data layers

  9. DRAFT Theme Criteria DRAFT
