Current Efforts include : Inserting Location-Based analysis into our business workflow Outreach to Program Managers Solutions Architecture Guidance to Map Geospatial Components Enterprise Architecture at EPA13 Digitize Project Location Enterprise Architecture at EPA14 Geospatial Requirements: Data Architecture Goal 2: Provide EPA, its partners, and the public with the geospatial data they need to carry out EPA business processes and make environmental decisions. Current Efforts include: Establish EPAs National Geospatial Data Policy (June 05) EPA Geospatial Metadata template/Business Rules/Architecture Builds on FGDC Metadata Standards Enterprise Data Solutions Markeplace/Collaboration on Dataset Production Enterprise Architecture at EPA15 EPA Metadata Arch Existing Flow 15 Enterprise Architecture at EPA16 Geospatial Requirements: Application Architecture Goal 3: Provide EPA staff, partners, and the public with applications and web-services to access, manage, use, analyze, present, and interpret geospatial data to conduct business and make environmental decisions. Current Efforts include : Reusable open and interoperable tools EnviroMapper Portal Development Efforts Developing Geospatial Web Services for Data Access Enterprise Licensing/Hosting/GOS Enterprise Architecture at EPA17 Geospatial Requirements: Technology Architecture Goal 4: Design and implement an enterprise wide technical infrastructure that supports access, use, management, and delivery of distributed geospatial data, applications, and Web services in a seamless manner. Current Efforts include : Geospatial needs incorporated into the EA IT Road Map Geospatial Data via the EPA Exchange Network Geospatial Tools used in Portal Development Grants Enterprise Architecture at EPA18 Geospatial Requirements: Governance Goal 5: Establish an effective governance structure for setting priorities for geospatial investments, coordinating geospatial efforts, and communicating how geospatial data and technologies are used within the Agency. Current Efforts include : Geospatial Information Officer Geospatial needs incorporated into the EA Still a challenge! Quality Information Council GIS Work Group/Steering Committee Subject Matter Experts CPIC/Budget/Strategic Planning linkage Enterprise Architecture at EPA19 CIOs/OMB Formally acknowledge that Geospatial is a MAINSTREAM requirement Help organizations realize that location-based analysis is a BUSINESS approach and not JUST a technology Improve our ROI/GPRA/PART through program-level activities DRM/SRM/TRM will help us with Interoperability and Sharing of data Focus grants on unified approach to building partner capabilities Benefits of Geospatial Enterprise Architecture 1 EPA Enterprise Architecture EPA Contacts Wendy Blake-Coleman:Brenda Smith, Geospatial Information Officer:
