Tribal Information Management System (TIMS)

- About -• Provides an integrated view of environmental concerns in Indian Country (federally recognized tribes).

• Full function Geographic Information System (GIS) allows visualization, spatial analysis across a variety of environmental topics (e.g., air, water, land).

• Emphasis on integration of geospatial services for greater access to core enterprise and geospatial reference information.

• Available only to EPA AIEO, tribes, and trusted partners.

Tribal Information Management System (TIMS)

- Data Layers -• Geospatial services

- EPA STORET monitors (XML)- USGS NWIS monitors (XML)- TerraService aerial photography (image service)- Geography Network (shaded relief, FEMA flood zones [image service])

• NHD/RAD hydrography layers- Rivers/Streams, water bodies- Impairments

• Static Oracle Spatial, ArcSDE layers- Tribal boundaries- AK, OK Allotments- Framework data (roads, political boundaries, etc.)

• Regulated Facilities- TRIS, PCS, AFS, CERCLIS, RCRAINFO

Tribal Information Management System (TIMS)

- Why Services? -• Advantages

- Timely- Latest-and-greatest- No need to manage copies- Emphasis on partnerships, communications- Not proprietary if XML

• Disadvantages- No need to manage copies- Emphasis on partnerships, communications- At mercy of access to source site, changes to

source configuration
