			=February 29, 2012 Meeting Notes=

	The Geospatial subgroup of the NDSA Content WG met via teleconference on Wed. Feb. 29. The call was a getting to know you session, with participants productively sharing their thoughts and expectations on the goals of the group. Co-leaders John Faundeen of the USGS and Brett Abrams of NARA shared a draft mission statement to open the discussion. This draft is up on the NDSA wiki at http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Draft_Mission_Statement and is open for editing through March 15.

			=Future Group Agenda Topics=


			=Topics exported from the GeoMAPP survey of full and informational partners=
			*Anything that helps us understand how to manage all kinds of electronic records
			*Archiving GIS data, Geopspatial format issues, geospatial metadata for preservation and access.
			*archiving GIS project data
			*Archiving GIS project data and standards would be good topics.
			*Archiving GIS project data;
			*As noted: Engaging with local governments; Archiving GIS project data
			*FDGC to ISO 19115 Metadata conversion- preservation impacts; Preservation strategy for geospatial data projects (source data, interim products, etc); Preservation in an ephemeral Web service based world
			*I would be interested in Archiving Porject data and Engaing with local governments
			*I would like more information on archiving GIS project data or working with the FDGC to ISO metadata shift.
			*I would like to work with ensuring the work of the project is accessible through other venues like eXtension's Map@Syst community. Additionally, I have interest in how to ensure local governments are aware of the issues involved.
			*Leveraging local government geospatial data sharing through state archiving serivces.
			*Storage & Access; Infrastructure; Enabling Technologies
			*These suggested potential topics sound great. I would also like to see more about moving from research and study toward implementation, ingesting, and consolidation of data stores.
			*We have so far to go... the FGDC to ISO shift would interest us, as would the GIS archiving
