  6. Making it Real – Business Cases • Strong need for high priority business cases to show benefits of approach • Candidate ideas discussed have included • Smart Growth • Emergency Response • Sustainability • Coastal Planning • Energy Development • Food Safety • Wildland Fire Response • … and more • Need Steering Committee ideas and support for building use cases

  7. Next Steps to Implementation • Building on work of Technical Deployment Task Team, define and finalize Platform high level architecture • Develop guidance document to describe architecture and how to leverage • GSA Team (Data.gov) poised to issue tasking to build “Version 1” of the Geospatial Platform • Need FGDC technical advisory / oversight team • FY13: PMO Support, V2 Implementation
