GeoReadiness Explorer (GRX)ASK the Map

Access Shore Knowledge GRX supports the Navy’s global mission by providing a seamless view of worldwide Navy geospatial assets.

GRX provides map based access to a variety of Navy business systems and the ability to overlay Navy data with other web based map services.

Enabling single interface access to a variety of data increases situational awareness, increases timeliness, and allows Navy leadership to make more informed decisions.

GRX is available through the NMCI network via the NAVFAC Portal to everyone with a CAC.

GeoReadiness Program SDSFIE Implementation

15 15

Objectives

• Review the success of the SDSFIE to understand what did, and did not work

• Describe new methods that the Navy is employing to describe geospatial features that better support a multitude of user community perspectives of geospatial phenomena across the shore installation management enterprise

16 16

The What and the Why of the SDSFIE

• What is the SDSFIE?

– SDSFIE = Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and the Environment

– Large scale and high resolution geospatial data content standards for use in GIS, GPS and other location-based technologies

– An integrated geospatial data model of multi-thematic data content for planning, public works, environmental management, and military installation operations

– First released in 1993

• Why do we use the SDSFIE?

– OSD Guidance Memorandum of 14 Apr 2009

– Directs DoD Components to ensure their IGI&S programs conform to the Department’s Business Enterprise Architecture.

– All IGI&S data shall conform to the Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE).

SDSFIE Keys to Success

• A significant reason that the SDSFIE thrived is because the standards were implementable using popular commercial GIS and RDBMS software

– This created an environment for interoperability, and backwards and forwards vendor data conversion and sharing

Catalyst for Change: DOD Business Transformation

• Business transformation activities at OSD are now focused on data structures and standards that are built to directly support business priorities and processes

• Common business processes across all military services are prioritized for standardization

21 21

Catalyst for Change: Duplication of Business Data in SDSFIE

• The authorized database of record (DOR) for most business data are the organization’s business systems, not GIS databases

• The SDSFIE 2.x data model grew to include business data that were redundant to the authoritative information stored in separate official business systems

• This created a situation where if data in either system disagreed with the other, both the GIS and the business system lost credibility with decision-makers

22 22

Navy SDSFIE Approach

• The Navy is:– Developing a successful Navy SDSFIE 3.0 Data Model

• This includes input and review from the Asset Management (AM), Environmental (EV), and Public Works (PW) business lines.

– Developing Governance to establish a baseline for measuring as well as enforcing standards adherence

– Actively Communicating SDSFIE benefits to Navy users to support adding new users’ business process content in future model versions

• This approach is critical to the successful sustainment of the Navy 3.0 Model after it is established and populated with existing Navy installation mapping data

23 23

Navy User Community Outreach

• Community of Interest (CoI)– a group of people connected by a common

interest in a specific subject or endeavor. The level of interest may range from passing to intense, and over time develop into expertise on a subject.

– Office of the Chief Engineer Naval Facilities Engineering Command

24 24

Navy User Community Outreach

• Leveraging COIs– COIs include subject matter experts– COIs include business databases/systems of

record (DOR/SOR)– COIs include business system stewards– COIs can expand their missions to include

the exploitation of geospatial dataAsset Management (AM) Environmental (EV) Public Works (PW)

Navy SDSFIE 3.0 Vision

• COI organizations will own and maintain their geospatial data standards

• COI organizations will establish enterprise methods for data sustainment

30 30

One Navy SDSFIE Standard: Fit for Purpose

• The One Navy SDSFIE is all about aligning with mission priorities, industry best practices, key stakeholders and recognized standards

• This new approach recognizes existing organizational investments in past SDSFIE implementations and supports the transition to a new paradigm that addresses future business process needs

• The Future: One Navy SDSFIE standard that is widely adopted by Navy COIs as fit for the purpose of successfully geo-enabling their business processes and systems
