Problem StatementGeographic information is used in a majority of business settings in and outside of governmentGeographic information and services are not addressed consistently within and between organizationsInteroperability among providers and consumers of geographic data and services requires a common understanding of semantics and functional capabilitiesDevelopment of common multi-jurisdictional approaches to the use of geographic information and services requires inclusion in Enterprise Architecture

Solution: Creation of guidance for geospatial capabilities in the FEA
Develop a Geospatial Profile document for the FEA to support its cross-cutting nature, along the lines of the Profiles being developed for Records Management and Security and Privacy
Audience: Chief Architects, individuals in the agency CIO office responsible for development for common Enterprise Architectures in the federal and non-federal settings

Geospatial Enterprise ArchitectureCommunity of Practice
Working Group
Geospatial Community of Practice
Convened a workgroup of federal and non-federal participants to develop a Geospatial Profile of the FEA Affiliated with the Architecture and Infrastructure
Committee (AIC) of the Federal CIO Council Ad-hoc Working Group of the Federal Geographic
Data Committee – a trans-governmental coordinating body for geospatial practices
Membership includes major federal agencies, state and local members, professional organizations (NSGIC, NACO, NASCIO, GITA)

Initiative Status, November 2005
Drafted a Charter for a Geospatial WG under the FGDC and CIO AICRefined a work plan to create a Profile documentIdentified a wild-land fire scenario as the context to be followed by examples in the Profile documentConvened writing teams for the Introduction section, and to provide geospatial guidance for each of the relevant FEA Reference ModelsCompleted the third draft (V0.3) of the Profile for review by FGDC and AIC members and their partner organizations

Geospatial Business LanguageThe Geospatial Business Language is comprised of five basic
types of terms:Application: A computer program with a user interface or computer program component that employs geospatial data and technology; a geospatial business process or sub-process that is implemented as a software program or program component.Data: A geospatial information class, type or property.Function: A geoprocessing capability; a geoprocessing user tool; a geospatial service component.Process: A general series of business activities that employs geospatial data and technology.Technology: An application of science that generates, displays, manages or otherwise processes geospatial data. (Excluding general-purpose Information Technology.)

Request for your review and comment
As sponsors of this initiative, the members and partners of the FGDC are invited to review and comment on this draft of the Geospatial Profile
Comments are due by COB, November 18, 2005
Document will be edited and forwarded to the FEA PMO in January for consideration
Profile document is at:http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CurrentGeospatialProfileDraft

Pilot of Geospatial EA Principles
Pilot activity is proposed to interpret and deploy resources following the Geospatial Profile to support specific mission requirements using multiple-agency data and services
Seek input on one or more complementary scenarios Build on existing capabilities and commitments Establish maintainable/sustainable capability Explore opportunities for Service Level Agreements
Suggest we convene a pilot design team meeting on November 17
Seeking your input and participation!
