Download or read book Federal Geospatial Information written by Andrew Halpern and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geospatial information is data referenced to a place--a set of geographic coordinates--which can often be gathered, manipulated, and displayed in real time. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer data system capable of capturing, storing, analysing, and displaying geographically referenced information. The federal government and policy makers increasingly use geospatial information and tools like GIS for producing floodplain maps, conducting the census, mapping foreclosures, congressional redistricting, and responding to natural hazards such as wildfires, earthquakes, and tsunamis. For policy makers, this type of analysis can greatly assist in clarifying complex problems that may involve local, state, and federal government, and affect businesses, residential areas, and federal installations. This book provides a primer on geospatial data and GIS and explores the complexity of managing, sharing, and using geospatial data from a variety of sources and across the breadth of the federal government.

This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses geospatial info. (GI), which is data referenced to a place -- a set of geographic coordinates -- which can be gathered, manipulated, and displayed in real time. A Geographic Info. System is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced info. In 1990 the Fed. Geographic Data Comm. (FGDC) was estab. to promote the use, sharing, and dissemination of GI. There are questions about FGDC fulfilling its mission. Has this organizational structure worked? Can the fed. gov¿t. account for the costs of acquiring, coordinating, and managing GI? How well is the fed. gov¿t. coordinating with the state and local entities that have an increasing stake in GI? What is the role of the private sector?
Download or read book Standards for Success written by Christopher Thomas and published by Esri Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the proven track record of GIS in providing high returns on investment, Standards for Success shows how federal government agencies are using this powerful technology to streamline business processes, foster collaboration and communication, provide sound decision support, and optimize resource management. GIS plays an central role in making government work more effectively and more efficiently, and the powerful examples in Standards for Success make it easy to understand why. Standards for Success presents a rich array of case studies describing how GIS is helping federal agencies achieve their goals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Geological Survey, the Air Force, and the Navy use GIS to consolidate time-consuming steps into simple automated tools, freeing personnel from complex and repetitive processes and allowing them to concentrate on creative solutions. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Education, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have embraced GIS as a tool for fostering teamwork and building necessary, lasting relationships. At the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Environmental Protection Agency, GIS provides indispensable decision support by enabling staff to assemble and process data from disparate sources, illustrate workflows, model dynamic natural and man-made events, and easily recognize changing situations by visualizing long-term effects of actions. The implementation of GIS for efficient resource management at NASA and the U.S. Forest Service has helped maximize investments, control inventories, and avoid costs.
Download or read book Using Remote Sensing in State and Local Government written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-12 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution over the past several years have greatly expanded opportunities for practical applications of remote sensing data. To explore the implications of these possibilities, the NRC held a series of three workshops on different facets of remote sensing applications. This report is on the third of those workshops: the development and use of remote sensing data and information by state, local, and regional governments. The steering committee was asked to examine the opportunities, potential challenges, and policy issues associated with the application of remote sensing data in the public sector including approaches and procedures for government agencies to use such data and barriers to development and use of the applications. The resulting report is addressed primarily to non-technical managers and decisions makers at all levels of government below the federal level.
