  1. Chris Cialek MnGeo December 3, 2010 DCDC Committee How Geospatial Standards are Created:A brief history of the MnGeo Standards Committee

  2. 1993 Standards Committee Strategic Plan • Mission "In order to encourage the sharing of information among government agencies in Minnesota and to reduce costs and avoid duplication of effort, the Governor's Council will: • commission the development and implementation of STANDARDS; • monitor the use of CONVENTIONS; and • encourage the use of GUIDELINES to be used for the development, exchange, analysis and output of geographic information."

  3. Standards Committee Strategic Plan • Categories of GIS standards • Computing • Database content and structure • Data collection • Spatial data processing • Data presentation • Data management • Data exchange • Personnel

  4. Standards Committee Strategic Plan • Definitions • Policy • a high-level plan, defines a course of action • Standard • a definite rule, formally sanctioned, requiring adherence • Convention • a general agreement • Guideline • a recommendation

  5. Standards Committee Strategic Plan • Proposed Roles and Responsibilities • GCGI • Identify needs; vet solutions; recommend results to IPO • IPO • Evaluate and sanction standards brought to it by GCGI • Determine level and method of enforcement • Monitor compliance • State Agencies • Be involved in process; agree to commit to sanctioned standards • Local Government, Private sector, etc • Invited to get involved; encouraged to commit

  6. Exposure

  7. Standard Content Format • Summary • Applicability • Who cares about these standards? • When do they apply; when do they not apply? • Purpose • Requirements • Compliance • What constitutes compliance? • How will compliance be measured? • References and Sources of More Information

  8. Standards that have worked through the process (mostly)

  9. Efforts to Support Standards • Metadata • MN a principal contributor to 1997 NSGIC national metadata videoconference (U Wisc) • $104,000 in 4 FGDC grants over 5 years for metadata development, outreach and education • Positional Accuracy • 1999 instructional handbook; 1,500 printed copies distributed; 100+ downloads/month today • Enterprise Architecture • 2005 State GIS Enterprise Conceptual Design white paper; guide to broker architecture for data distribution and services

  10. Process Interrupted • 2005: • IPC sunsets • OET created and • IPO incorporated into it • Process to ratify standards interrupted • 2007: • Standards Committee formed Geospatial Standards Authorization Workgroup to try and influence reinstatement of standards process (see 2008 work plan) • 2008: • Met with OET Dir of Strategic Planning • offered to include GI standards on OET web site • without ratification • pending development of a new governance model that is in progress

  11. Enterprise Architecture: Process for Decision Making (Governance) • Subject Matter Experts • Architecture Domain Teams • Architecture Review Board • All CIO Team • State CIO

  12. Today: New Legislation Requiring Standards • Chapter 13 – Standards for Transparency • Publicly available data is managed using an approved state metadata model • All geospatial data conform to an approved geocode model
