Goal 1: The WCA will serve as the portal to geospatial data Goal 1: The WCA will serve as the portal to geospatial data for the Great Lakes coasts of WisconsinGoal 2: The WCA will promote the development of a spatial Goal 2: The WCA will promote the development of a spatial data infrastructure for the Great Lakes coasts of Wisconsin through methods for cataloging, archiving, and semantic g g g gintegration

Initial focus on implementing the maps and search components f t l h dfor coastal hazardsSynchronized with a two-year NOAA Coastal Management Fellow who will help build a Great Lakes spatial decision support toolbox who will help build a Great Lakes spatial decision support toolbox for hazards resilience and comprehensive plan implementation

ICAN Coastal Erosion Use Case

Role/Client Coastal ManagerRole/Client - Coastal ManagerUses an inventory to take regulatory action; helps form policy guidelines as potential statutes or regulatory rulesg p g y

What are the erosion rates along a geographically defined shoreline reach?Wh /Wh /H h h h li b d?Where/When/How has the shoreline been protected?Where is the socioeconomic infrastructure at greatest risk due to coastal erosion?coastal erosion?Where is the potential for habitat loss due to coastal erosion a significant risk?

Other Roles – Private Property Owners, Emergency Responders, Scientists, Local System Administrators

Wisconsin Coastal Atlas SDI ObjectivesWisconsin Coastal Atlas – SDI Objectives

Objecti e 4 De elop and implement a CWA geospatial data Objective 4 – Develop and implement a CWA geospatial data catalog with concurrent archiving capabilities.

data catalog developed specifically for Great Lakes coastal issues data catalog developed specifically for Great Lakes coastal issues (start with coastal hazards)document technical and institutional barriers to the development of a spatial data catalog of current and historic coastal datarobust data archiving procedure to manage data sets over time

k ith t l h d t k h ld t t th f work with coastal hazards stakeholders to promote the use of catalog open access and data archiving procedures

Advance the development of domain spatial data infrastructuresAdvance the development of domain spatial data infrastructures.Development of effective methods for archive of digital geospatial data will help resolve a critical problem facing data custodians.

Wisconsin Coastal Atlas – SDI ObjectivesWisconsin Coastal Atlas SDI Objectives

Objecti e 5 De elop ontologies for coastal ha ards in Objective 5 – Develop ontologies for coastal hazards in Wisconsin to promote semantic integration

Develop and conduct two spatial queries to test semantic Develop and conduct two spatial queries to test semantic interoperability for the entire the Great Lakes coasts of Wisconsin using data from local partners as it resides in the geospatial catalog calculate the assessed value of land and improvements of

coastal parcels calculate current land use by general zoning categories within calculate current land use by general zoning categories within

Coastal Atlases and the Coastal Erosion ( d th ) U C L k E i(and other) Use Cases – Lake Erie

Examined four Coastal Atlases/Conservation Authority web mapping Examined four Coastal Atlases/Conservation Authority web mapping sites on Lake Erie related to whether questions in the ICAN coastal erosion use case could be answered.That wasn’t possible, but explored environmentally sensitive areas and locations of dams in coastal watersheds.
