August 16, 2013 Meeting Notes
Participants
Diane Papineau, Julie Sweetkind-Singer, Bob Downs, Curtis Pulford, Brett Abrams, Steve Short, Bob Nutsch, Steve Morris
Meeting Notes
The call featured a presentation from Diane Papineau of the state of Montana who is heading to the URISA conference. She shared her slides for the conference for comment.
In the course of review of Diane's slides, Julie talked about Open Geoportal.org, a partnership between Stanford (in production in Sept.), Tufts, Harvard, MIT and UC-Berkeley. The Open Geoportal is a collaboratively developed, open source, federated web application to rapidly discover, preview, and retrieve geospatial data from multiple repositories.
Diane's slides lead into a discussion on ways for the NDSA and wider geospatial preservation community to engage with the Geospatial Platform activity, following on the June 2013 call featuring Jerry Johnston, the GIO from the Dept. of Interior, and the Geo subgroup call in July where we discussed the issue further. Diane's slides from the July meeting are available here.
The slides and the discussion in July that came out of them lead to the creation of a white paper on Platform engagement. The white paper only went out a day or two before the call so the participants were encouraged to review the document and provide comments on the listserv.
The two broad areas of possible engagement are:
1. Leveraging the Platform to make digital geospatial collections more immediately accessible in a forum with high visibility and a potentially significant user base; 2. Clearinghouse of information on the stewardship of digital geospatial data;
Action Items
- Julie will help us set up a presentation by the Opengeoportal folks (Patrick Florence from Tufts)
- Dianne will share her Quick Reference document on the listserv and members will provide comments, with the goal of ultimately releasing it as an NDSA report. Butch will send NDSA report "template" to Diane.
- Butch will send out latest draft of FGDC U/HDWG "S&A" document.
- Brett shared a FGDC dataset crosswalk and a copy of the Supplemental Guidance that will be shared on the listserv.
