<br />
== Statement of Purpose ==<br />
<br />
The Outreach Working Group of the NDSA is focused on building relationships with stakeholder communities and preparing and sharing digital preservation information resources. These activities include: Identifying and assessing tools the NDSA community needs for communication; Identifying and promoting key digital preservation information resources; Defining opportunities for outreach within the NDSA and to the community beyond.<br />
<br />
== Scope of Work ==<br />
<br />
The work of the NDSA Outreach Working Group falls under three broad categories:<br />
<br />
*[[NDSA:Public Awareness of Digital Preservation Issues and Challenges| Public Awareness]]<br />

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3996NDSA:Geospatial2014-10-17T15:06:06Z<p>Wlaz: /* Speakers Series */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

<br />
==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:NDSA_Report_Handle_Numbers&diff=6330NDSA:NDSA Report Handle Numbers2014-09-23T17:39:08Z<p>Wlaz: /* NDSA report Handles as of 09/23/14 */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

<br />
==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3993NDSA:Geospatial2014-08-25T18:23:28Z<p>Wlaz: /* Meetings */</p>

Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3992NDSA:Geospatial2014-08-25T18:22:30Z<p>Wlaz: /* Meetings */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />

<br />

== Meeting Notes ==<br />
<br />
The meeting featured a presentation from Patrick Florance, Manager of Geospatial Technology Services at Tufts University who talked about [http://opengeoportal.org/ Open Geoportal]. He was joined by Chris Barnett, one of the Open Geoportal developers. <br />
<br />
Open Geoportal (OGP) is a collaboratively developed, open source, federated web application to rapidly discover, preview, and retrieve geospatial data from multiple organizations. The project is lead by Tufts in conjunction with Harvard and MIT. The Open Geoportal is also a collaborative community focused on establishing best practices supporting spatial data management: collection development, metadata authoring & sharing, data sharing, data sources, data licensing, application development, etc. The community is comprised of geospatial metadata specialists, GIS specialists, developers, among others.<br />
<br />
In 2010 Tufts began researching new products to manage its Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). Unsatisfied with the commercial offerings, Tufts decided to build its own geoportal software. Harvard and MIT both had pre-existing geoportals. Looking to increase application development and data resources, Tufts partnered with Harvard and MIT to build the first iteration of the Open Geoportal. The goal was to build one open source interface that provided access to all partner institution’s data and metadata <br />
<br />
In January 2013 Tufts University began receiving support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for the development of The Open Geoportal Cloud Federation. This lead to the first Open Geoportal National Summit in Boston in October of 2013. The Summit was a huge success, bringing together both domestic and international geospatial professionals (developers, GIS specialists, and metadata librarians) to share innovative ideas and best practices around open source spatial data infrastructure (OSSDI).<br />
<br />
Currently there are over forty organizations and two hundred individuals participating in the Open Geoportal Community. With the support of the Sloan foundation and through a partnership with the GeoNetwork Open Source community, Tufts just completed the development of the Open Geoportal Harvester: an open source cloud-based platform that uses automated federated metadata harvesting protocols and supports multiple metadata formats to facilitate federated metadata sharing through the Open Geoportal Community. Tufts is also leading an effort to create the OGP Metadata Toolkit: cloud-based geospatial metadata toolkit to provide tools for staff, students, and faculty to easily create metadata for their data. The goal is to provide a rapid, guided metadata authoring environment.<br />

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />

**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geo_May_2014&diff=6831NDSA:Geo May 20142014-05-20T15:09:43Z<p>Wlaz: /* Meeting Notes */</p>

== Meeting Notes ==<br />
<br />
The meeting featured a presentation from Patrick Florance, Manager of Geospatial Technology Services at Tufts University who talked about the [http://opengeoportal.org/ Open Geoportal]. He was joined by Chris Barnett, one of the Open Geoportal developers. <br />
<br />
The Open Geoportal (OGP) is a collaboratively developed, open source, federated web application to rapidly discover, preview, and retrieve geospatial data from multiple organizations. The project is lead by Tufts in conjunction with Harvard and MIT. The Open Geoportal is also a collaborative community focused on establishing best practices supporting spatial data management: collection development, metadata authoring & sharing, data sharing, data sources, data licensing, application development, etc. The community is comprised of geospatial metadata specialists, GIS specialists, developers, among others.<br />
<br />
In 2010 Tufts began researching new products to manage its Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). Unsatisfied with the commercial offerings, Tufts decided to build its own geoportal software. Harvard and MIT both had pre-existing geoportals. Looking to increase application development and data resources, Tufts partnered with Harvard and MIT to build the first iteration of the Open Geoportal. The goal was to build one open source interface that provided access to all partner institution’s data and metadata <br />
<br />
In January 2013 Tufts University began receiving support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for the development of The Open Geoportal Cloud Federation. This lead to the first Open Geoportal National Summit in Boston in October of 2013. The Summit was a huge success, bringing together both domestic and international geospatial professionals (developers, GIS specialists, and metadata librarians) to share innovative ideas and best practices around open source spatial data infrastructure (OSSDI).<br />
<br />
Currently there are over forty organizations and two hundred individuals participating in the Open Geoportal Community. With the support of the Sloan foundation and through a partnership with the GeoNetwork Open Source community, Tufts just completed the development of the Open Geoportal Harvester: an open source cloud-based platform that uses automated federated metadata harvesting protocols and supports multiple metadata formats to facilitate federated metadata sharing through the Open Geoportal Community. Tufts is also leading an effort to create the OGP Metadata Toolkit: cloud-based geospatial metadata toolkit to provide tools for staff, students, and faculty to easily create metadata for their data. The goal is to provide a rapid, guided metadata authoring environment.<br />

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />

<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3988NDSA:Geospatial2014-04-24T17:18:53Z<p>Wlaz: /* Meetings */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />

The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />

**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3986NDSA:Geospatial2014-04-24T17:08:03Z<p>Wlaz: /* Speakers Series */</p>

Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013.

As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3984NDSA:Geospatial2014-04-24T17:07:18Z<p>Wlaz: /* Speakers Series */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />

==Draft Definition of At-Risk Geospatial Content==<br />
<br />
The geospatial content group has defined at-risk data as that which they take in, collect and/or maintain based on an established collecting policy, schedule, or agreed upon appraisal decisions, recognizing overlap between federal, state and local government<br />
<br />
We define "data at risk" in this context as scientific data which are not in a format that permits full electronic access to the information which they contain. Such data may be inherently non-digital (e.g. handwritten or photographic), on near-obsolete digital media (such as magnetic tapes) or insufficiently described (lacking meta-data). Some born-digital data can also be considered "at risk" if they cannot be ingested into managed databases because they lack adequate formatting or metadata. Data which are regarded as unuseable tend to be regarded as useless, and then risk being destroyed. Most of the non-electronic data in question pre-date the digital era, and where they complement more modern ones by offering a much longer time-base they are essential, sometimes vital, for studies of long-term trends</div>Wlazhttps://wiki.diglib.org/index.php?title=NDSA:Geospatial&diff=3982NDSA:Geospatial2014-04-21T21:15:42Z<p>Wlaz: /* Meetings */</p>

==Current Activities==<br />
<br />
===Industry Outreach:=== <br />
Archives and Libraries act in conjunction with geospatial users in government to meet with ESRI and discuss need for published or open formats.<br />
<br />
===Appraisal:=== <br />
Continuing to explore the appraisal issues around geospatial data for long-term preservation.<br />
<br />
Have completed the reworking the "Appraisal and Selection of Geospatial Data" white paper prepared by Steve Morris for the Library of Congress in February 2011. The paper has been reviewed for comment by the full NDSA Content WG and will be shared with the NDSA Coordination Group for final review in late July with a public release planned in Sept. 2013. [[NDSA:Media:AppraisalSelection_whitepaper_ndsa-draft6.doc | Latest version (version 6)]].<br />
<br />
The group will continue to leverage work being done by the [http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/hdwg/index_html FGDC Users/Historical Data Working Group]. The group is reviewing the U/HDWG paper on [[NDSA:Media:selection-appraisal-geospatial-content_v20.doc |"Guidance on the Selection and Appraisal of Geospatial Content of Enduring Value"]] which is currently under review by the FGDC Coordination Group. As a future action, the group may adapt this FGDC report and recast it as an NDSA report. <br />
<br />
The group will continue to build on [http://www.geomapp.net/publications_categories.htm#appraise GeoMAPP appraisal efforts].<br />
<br />
===Collection Development Policies/Records Acquisition Policies/Records Retention Policies:=== <br />
Members will share their policy documents with the group for comparison purposes. One possible outcome could be an NDSA "standard" collection policy document template and an NDSA "standard" records acquistion template (if different?).<br />
<br />
===Spatial Data Infrastructure:=== <br />
Leverage SDI activities happening at all levels of government to benefit the long-term preservation of geospatial information of value to the nation. From the [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html FGDC web site]:<br />
<br />
"Consistent means to share geographic data among all users could produce significant savings for data collection and use and enhance decision making. [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/policyandplanning/executive_order Executive Order 12906]calls for the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.<br />
<br />
The goal of this Infrastructure is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability."<br />
<br />
===Proprietary vs. open formats:=== <br />
Discuss the challenges and opportunities with dealing with different formats. Prepare case studies on format issues or on particular formats. Address "emerging" "current" and "waning" formats. Explore format "openness" (For background information reference blog posts [http://www.structuralknowledge.com/2012/02/03/why-esri-as-is-cant-be-part-of-the-open-government-movement/ here] and the perspective of the new Esri DC Development Center [http://blog.geoiq.com/2012/08/22/esri-dc-development-center-plans/ here]).<br />
Build on [http://www.geomapp.net/docs/GeoMAPP_Geospatial_data_file_formats_FINAL_20110701.xls GeoMAPP format work] and [http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/content/gis.shtml Library of Congress Sustainability of Digital Formats work].<br />
<br />
===Rights and Access:=== <br />
Explore copyright and other rights issues that challenge the access to and preservation of Geospatial Data: (a) copyright, licensing and legal implications of language such as indemnification/hold harmless clauses in data distribution agreements; (b) administrative metadata for dealing with access rights (c) Costs/fees for obtaining local public geospatial data and implications for archiving (i.e. continually purchase new versions based on retention schedule?)<br />
<br />
===Technical Best Practices===<br />
Work to Compose and Disseminate Technical Best Practices for geospatial preservation: (a)File formats, naming conventions and best practices; (b) Export feature classes out of geodatabases and archive as shapefiles?; (c) re-name files for archiving purposes, but retain link (via database?) back to original file from original data producer? (d) share organizational workflow demonstrations with the group.<br />
<br />
Explore the possibility of a future geospatial preservation Wikipedia article. Some of the work the group did when considering the FGDC Geospatial Platform may be relevant (content, limitations, risks, etc.). See also http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/01/wikipedia-the-go-to-source-for-information-about-digital-preservation/<br />
<br />
===Metadata:===<br />
Document ISO standards, preservation standards, preservation-based metadata formats as they relate to long-term stewardship. Actively participate in standardization activities through OGC, ISO, FGDC and organizations such as ASPRS etc.<br />
<br />
===State GIS Clearinghouse Issues:=== <br />
Continue to explore the role of state GIS Clearinghouses and their relationship with local data providers and the details regarding the data transfer between the two: (a) acquisition of data (by the clearinghouse) on specific schedules; (b) data sharing agreements between the two entities; (c) definition of framework layers and those preserved vs. not preserved (appraisal process) in an eventual archive; (d) metadata and minimum documentation required by both clearinghouse and archive<br />
<br />
===At-Risk Data Issues:=== <br />
Explore challenges related to [http://www.ala.org/advocacy/copyright/orphan Orphan works] and leverage existing efforts such as the [http://wiki.ieee-earth.org/Best_Practices/GEOSS_Transverse_Areas/Data_and_Architecture/Data_Archiving/Purge_Alerts IEEE Group on Earth Observations Purge Alerts] and the [http://www.ibiblio.org/data-at-risk/ ICSU/CODATA Data at Risk Inventory] to identify stewards for at-risk and endangered data.<br />
**Coordination Challenges<br />
**Capacity Challenges<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach<br />
***Collections Development Approach<br />
**Orphaned Works Challenges<br />
<br />
**Organizational/Resource Challenges: use as structure for case studies<br />
***Records Retention Approach (NARA, North Carolina, Kentucky)<br />
***Collections Development Approach (Montana, Wisconsin, university libraries)<br />
<br />
Goal is to use the descriptions of how these organizational approaches work to show their pluses and minuses in terms of identifying geospatial data and bringing that data into the repository for long-term preservation and access. This approach will enable other organizations to recognize the approach that they use and see their own strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
Appears that we have an A1 and A2 approach to the scheduling method as Kentucky's approach is not the same as NARA nor North Carolina.<br />
<br />
FGDC may have a CAP Grant for Geo-archiving Business plan development which could be used to accomplish this goal.<br />
