Agenda

• The DoD Real Property Inventory Initiative

• Where We Were– Disparate RP Databases, No Connection to Geospatial Data– Services Real Property Maps not Digital– DISDI RPI Mapping Pilot Phase I Evaluated Possible Geospatial Solution

• Where We Are Today– DISDI RPI Mapping Pilot Phase II: Status & Trends– Revolutionary Changes Underway in Spatial Data Standards

• Where We Expect to Be– Solid Beginnings of RP Geospatial Databases– Emerging Consensus on Data Architecture and Visualization Schemas

The DoD Business Domain –Supporting Net-Centric Warfare

The RP&ILM CBM will provide the Warfighter and other Core Business Missions with continuous access to I&E information.

“ Data is an essential enabler of network-centric warfare and shall be made visible, accessible, and understandable to any potential user in DoD as early as possible in the life cycle to support mission objectives.” DOD Directive 8320.2 December 2, 2004.

The DoD Business Domain has 5 Core Business Mission Areas:

What is the Defense Installation SpatialData Infrastructure (DISDI)?

“A DoD mission capability comprised of those people, policies, and practices necessary to acquire, steward, and share installation, environmental, and range geospatial data assets for defense,

federal, and national goals”

DISDI Support for DoD Real Property Inventory (RPI)

• Goal: Formal registry of accurate real property data, including site locations (depicted in a standard, geospatial data format)

• Site Registry - Authoritative, non-spatial repository of all DoD “sites”

• Mapping Site locations (legal boundaries) is a key component of the RPI– Based on land descriptions from acquisition deeds, lease

agreements, SOFA agreements, etc.

– Entered via digitized Tract Maps or Coordinate Geometry (COGO) using legal (parcel) land descriptions

– Two Phases of Pilot Prototyping; 75+ installations or sites

• Relevance to DoD Installations– New boundary layer (CIP or MDS)

– Changes to the SDSFIE

Results of Phase I, RPI Mapping Pilot

• Goals Accomplished:– Established new geo-data model for capturing RPI sites and land parcels

DoD-wide

– Validated geospatial data collection process and synchronization with Real Property Unique Identifier (RPUIR) registry

– Established per-unit data collection costs

• Process– Mapped parcels using land descriptions from legal deeds

– Compiled sites in accordance with RPIR rules

– 18 installations in National Capital Region (NCR) and USACE Seattle District area

– Data delivered May 06, distributed to Services Jun 06

Phase II, RPI Parcel Mapping Pilot

• 57 Installations/Sites will be mapped to support joint basing and the Energy Policy Act, 2005 (those installations where proposed energy corridors cross or are near DoD boundaries)

• Fully funded by ODUSD(I&E) BEI

• Leverage lessons learned in RPI Mapping Phase I

– Will be fully compliant with site and asset registry business rules and coordinated with OSD/Service real property staff

• Source data for Phase II to be provided by asset registry contractor

– Digitized Tract Maps, Summary Maps, Deeds, Acquisition Records

• Installations to be mapped to parcel level (i.e. land asset)

– RPUIDs will be assigned to parcels; Services will then aggregate parcels into sites thru government review process

Progress and Initial ResultsPhase II, RPI Parcel Mapping Pilot

• Imagery Acquired for all 57 Installations/Sites

• Asset Registry Contractor (Bearing Point) has delivered source documents for all Installations/Sites

– Contractors evaluating completeness of source document records, alignment with official site names, etc.

– Contractor discovering differences between paper records and automated real property records

• Contractors and Component RPO/GIO teams are working closely to clarify apparent record discrepancies, data gaps, etc.

• 11 Installations/sites have been delivered in draft form for Component RPO/GIO review

• OSD considering adding additional Installations/Sites based on available funding

Military Installation & Range Boundaries:The Way Forward

SHORTSHORT--TERMTERM

• “Official Site Name Lists” still lack consistency with legacy site names, reference documents

• Reported Parcel Acreage Values– Currently based on Deeds– GIS-derived values typically have greater

accuracy– Business Rules may be needed

• Boundary Accuracy Issues– Not all survey reference data is created

equal– RPOs gathering knowledge from pilot

project use cases– Business Rules may be needed

LONGLONG--TERMTERM

• Component Level Follow-up Activities– Recompiling Site Boundaries for higher

fidelity– Real Property guidance to capture parcel

level boundary rules– Designate or Develop RPI spatial

databases, linked to RPI business databases

• Multi-year effort; spiral development

• RPUID will allow linkage to many other mission databases
