  1. Building Community Capacity Through Data Sharing William Elliott Principle, GeoBorealis & Don Morgan, Executive Director, Northwest Data Sharing Network

  2. Outline • Evolution of community based data management • Historic • Current • Gap • Response • Implementation of community based data sharing • Successes and challenges of community based data sharing • Summary

  3. Evolution - Past • Paper submission of activities: • Recreation tenures • Forestry • Local government inventory staff • Provide local data coordination • Provide coordination with province • Contribute to infrastructure

  4. Evolution - Current • Transition to new systems • Centralization: • Central government data warehouse • No local government inventory staff • No local data management • Forestry - electronic submission

  5. Evolution - Gap • Lack of Local Community Data Management Capacity: • Data Replication • Duplication of Effort • increased costs for users and producers • Lack of Standards and Integration • Overall lack of Co-ordination

  6. Evolution - Response • Establish a local community based shared data node • Implement collaborative organizational structures - governance • Co-ordinate projects among diverse groups that have joint interests • Promote a Data Ethic

  7. Northwest Example • Northwest Data Sharing Network • Local data sharing • Community based

Central vs. Local • Local (NWDSN): • Local Level/Trust • Business Relationships • Organize and Share • TSA/LRMP/IFPA/FN • Business Processes • Project Data • Local Contact • User Perspective • Central (LRDW): • Provincial Level/Trust • Corporate Relationships • Source/Access/Retrieval • Province Wide • Standards & Infrastructure • Corporate Data • Provincial Contact • Custodian Perspective

  9. Mission of NWDSN Timely, co-ordinated, co-operative, and innovative use of geo-spatial data sets to reduce the cost of data ownership and improve decision-making about land use in our region.

  10. Drivers • Shared costs and benefits • Data inventory co-management • Land use monitoring – plan monitoring • Criteria indicator management - certification • Species and habitat monitoring - SARA • First Nation accommodation

  15. Research • Lessons from Established Data Collaborations: • Governance must be set up front • Policies must be formalized • Define Roles and Responsibilities upfront • Leadership must be encouraged • Complexity of the Operations must be reduced
