Slide 1
Open Water Data Initiative Alan Rea NGAC Meeting September 23,
2014 Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data
Slide 2
ACWI MeetingAugust 19 OWDI presentation by Anne Castle, Kevin
Gallagher, Nate Booth ACWI voted unanimously to revitalize and
charge the Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data to scope and design a
national Open Water Data Infrastructure Subcommittee on Spatial
Water Data
Slide 3
Open Water Data Vision Foundational National Data Sets with
Data Services to support a wide variety of water user applications
Water data metadata, web services and a community accessible on the
Federal Geospatial Platform Access to integrated real-time
monitoring data Data Assimilation for a National Modeling
capability Water Maps and other Derivative Products that integrate
geospatial & water observations Such as: current conditions,
precipitation estimates, reservoir storage Marketplace of open
source applications (models, data visualizations, etc.) built upon
Open Water Web Services
Slide 4
Proposal We are proposing an Open Water Data Initiative that
will: integrate currently fragmented water information into a
connected, national water data framework leverage existing shared
infrastructure and tools to provide a platform for innovation,
modeling, and data sharing and solution development. capitalize on
cross-government interest in big data, IT innovation, Open Data,
Data.gov, etc. Build on the ground-breaking work of the FGDC, OGC,
IWRSS, CUASI, ACWI, and others.
Slide 5
Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data (SSWD) Meeting 8/28/14 42
attendees Presentation of OWDI concepts, charge from ACWI and FGDC
Membership Federal Agencies well represented Several organizations
still missing Continuing to seek key participants Will organize
around use cases to define requirements for OWDI Small
organizational group to coordinate the larger SSWD Full
subcommittee to meet monthly Subcommittee on Spatial Water
Data
Slide 6
Use Case Concepts Define use cases that respond to societal
needs and cover broad range of water resources sectors Identify
critical data inputs focus on these first Divide and
conquerseparate teams will address each use case in parallel
Measure progress and identify commonalities Subcommittee on Spatial
Water Data
Slide 7
Initial Use-case Proposals National Flood Interoperability
Experiment (NFIE) flood and inundation information at high
spatial/temporal resolutions) Integrated Water Portfolio
comprehensive water resources management decision support system
Chemical Spill Response event driven water quality information
needs Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data
Slide 8
Next Steps: Next meeting: Sep 26, 1-3 PM Eastern Settle on
priority use cases Assign teams to develop use cases October
meeting Compare use case data needs, identify overlaps Assign teams
to develop solution space (e.g. existing systems and services) for
data service requirements Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data
Slide 9
Mid-range plan: Late November 2014 Prioritize requirements
Identify requirements for any missing standards Identify
information structure i.e. hydrofabric December-March 2015: Initial
design and implementation of services/UIs Testing and user feedback
April-May 2015 Second version of services/UIs All services
supporting NFIE online by late May Subcommittee on Spatial Water
Data
Slide 10
+ Diane Eldridge Update for NGAC September 23, 2014 3D
Elevation Program
Slide 11
++ 11 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 3DEP increases the quality of
lidar being acquired to enable more accurate understanding,
modeling, and prediction A partnership program with funding from
Federal agencies, states, local governments, tribes, and other
stakeholders Based on the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment
that documented 602 mission-critical requirements from 34 Federal
agencies, 50 states and a sampling of local governments, tribes,
and other organizations A call to the community to increase the
overall investment in 3D data from about $50 M to $146 M annually
to return more than $690 million annually in new benefits Goal to
acquire national coverage in 8 years Leverage the capability of
private industry mapping firms, create jobs in the short-term and
long-term Applies ground- breaking lidar technology to acquire and
distribute 3D data of surface elevations and natural and
constructed features Addresses a broad range of critical
applications of national significance
Slide 12
++ 12 3DEP Documentation 3DEP Plan Available Online USGS Lidar
Base Specification nationalmap.usgs.gov/3DEP
Slide 13
++ 13 3DEP Recommendation 15: The Office of Management and
Budget should use the 3DEP implementation plan for nationwide
elevation data collection to guide the development of the
Presidents annual budget request National Academy of Public
Administration Report
Slide 14
++ 14 Climate Plan
Slide 15
+ 15 Climate Plan
Slide 16
++ 16 3DEP Data Partnerships As follow-up to the Presidents
announcement, the USGS issued a BAA that provides information on
how to partner with the USGS and other Federal agencies to acquire
3D data Information and contacts are now available at FedBizOps
website Offerors may contribute funds toward a USGS lidar data
acquisition activity via the Geospatial Products and Services
Contracts or they may request 3DEP funds toward a lidar data
acquisition activity where the requesting partner is the acquiring
authority Federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes,
academic institutions and the private sector are eligible to submit
pre-proposals FEMA and NRCS are contributing funds to the BAA FY15
funding is not yet determined but the Presidents budget shows a $5M
increase for 3DEP Coordination and partnerships under the BAA is a
potential topic for NGAC Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
Slide 17
++ 17 Emerging Lidar Technology Photon counting/Geiger mode
lidar systems developed primarily for the Defense applications
allow for high-resolution data acquisition at higher sensor
altitudes, and may eventually decrease acquisition costs for 3DEP
Roundtable co-sponsored by 3DEP Executive Forum, the Civil
Applications Committee and the White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy Share lessons learned in the Federal
defense/intel communities and explore how they may apply to Federal
civilian applications Determine next steps for commercialization of
emerging technology for use in 3DEP and its full range of
stakeholder applications Develop ongoing coordination to promote
the advancement of new technology Another potential topic for NGAC
