Title: Contemporary Geospatial Data Challenges and the Way Ahead


1
Contemporary Geospatial Data Challenges and the
Way Ahead
  • or
  • How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
    Matrix

Burgess Howell National Space Science and
Technology Center
2
The Matrix
  • Geospatial data are critical for timely and
    efficient decision making
  • Geospatial data are expensive
  • Geospatial data are not efficiently shared
  • Lack of access to geospatial data can cause
    project delay, project abandonment, unnecessary
    data reacquisition, and increased cost
  • Habit and custom impede change in the status quo

3
Client / Server Problems
  • Access (I need data.)
  • Does the data set exist?
  • Where is it?
  • Is what I found really what I want?
  • How can I get the data?
  • Service (I have data.)
  • I dont know how to tell you about my data
  • Well, I think I have the data
  • I dont know where the data are
  • I cant move my data to you
  • I shouldnt freely share the data

4
Administrative Problems
  • Description (What is this data set?)
  • What do the data describe?
  • How were the data collected?
  • When were the data collected ?
  • How are the data formatted?
  • Archive Management (I am DataMan!)
  • How can I store these data?
  • How can I network my data assets?
  • How do I keep records of these data?
  • What software can I use to facilitate access,
    description, publication, storage?

5
The Problem Summary
  • Archive
  • Describe
  • Publish
  • Share
  • Discover
  • Access
  • Manage

6
The NSDI Benefits
  • Increased access
  • Decreased cost
  • Improved awareness
  • Improved assessment
  • Improved planning
  • More efficient development
  • More efficient utilization of assets
  • Increased collaboration
  • Better education and research
  • Serendipity

7
The Decision
  • Continue business as usual
  • Craft a solution to the problem
