MGCP4LCSS OVERVIEW

• MGCP4LCSS Schema:

– optimization for LCSS Web

– 150 of the 300 MGCP Features

– 4 scales Dependencies (GRLS Principle)

– ‘Human Readable’ names/attribution

– TLM Like Symbology

• ETL in ArcGIS 10.2 Data Interoperability

• Host on DGSS using Flexviewer

Future Work

• Build labels for MXD/FGDB.

• Train the data manager team on Data Interoperability workflows.

• Run a cold exercise to test workflow and workbenches

• Expose to user community and collect feedback

Agenda

GGDM (Ground Warfighter Geospatial Data Model)

VS NGIF

(NATO Geospatial Information Framework)• GGDM

– US Army data model – extension of NGA’s TDS. – “common” Geospatial Data across Army Programs – interoperability. – Vendor agnostic

• NGIF – NATO Geospatial data model– army, navy, air and joint operations – specifications for geospatial products– all levels of command (strategic through to tactical). – “fighting off the same map”– digital and on paper products – all scales and resolutions

GGDM MODEL

GGDM TESTING AT MCE

• Production/Defence Mapping tool to Convert a TAM Schema to GGDM

• Symbolized GGDM using TLM symbols.

• Web Map Services from the GGDM FGDB on the Deployable Workstation using Flexviewer.

• MCEs Gateway Services

• ADM(IE) & Real Property Spatial Data Warehouse

• MGCP4LCSS

• GGDM & NGIF

• .tpk for the CAF

• New maps and charts for the RCAF
