The strategy covers the spectrum of IT shared service opportunities throughout the Federal Government and promotes the use of existing and new strategic sourcing methods where agencies can combine their ownership power for similar IT needs and get lower prices and improved service leverage in the process. Accompanying this strategy is the CommonTidewayto Federal Enterprise Architecture, which provides agile, standardized methods and tools for designing the next generation of IT resources and shared services that agencies needed to successfully succeed their missions in the squatter of tight resources and rising consumer needs. The Geospatial Platform is the Shared Service that evolved from the Geospatial Line of Business.Well-nighThe Geospatial Line ofMerchantry(Geo LoB) aims to remoter refine the opportunities for optimizing and consolidating Federal geospatial-related investments to reduce the forfeit of government and, at the same time, modernize services to citizens. Cross-agency coordination of geospatial activities can identify, consolidate, and reduce or eliminate redundant geospatial investments. Developing the Geo LoB will result in a increasingly coordinated tideway to producing, maintaining, and using geospatial data, and will ensure sustainable participation from Federal partners to establish a collaborative model for geospatial-related activities and investments. Vision The Nation’s interests are served, and the cadre missions of Federal agencies and their partners are met, through the constructive and efficient development, provision and interoperability of geospatial data and services.  Goals and Objectives Goal 1: Productive intergovernmental collaboration for geospatial-related activities and investments wideness all sectors and levels of government Objective 1.1: To modernize governance processes and results in structuring with worldwide geospatial solutions Objective 1.2: To identify, evaluate and implement worldwide geospatial services, processes and weightier practices Objective 1.3: To enhance coordination among geospatial polity stakeholders Goal 2: Optimized and standardized worldwide geospatial functions, services, and processes which are responsive to customers Objective 2.1: To implement guidance provided through the FEA Geospatial Profile Objective 2.2: To adopt, deploy and promote constructive use of geospatial interoperability standards Objective 2.3: To establish a Geo LoB-wide merchantry tracery for worldwide functions associated with geospatial information Goal 3:Forfeitefficient acquisition, processing, and wangle to geospatial data and information. Objective 3.1: To coordinate geospatial requirements and capabilities Objective 3.2: To identify opportunities and consolidate geospatial vanquishment activities Objective 3.3: To enhance Geo LoB-wide portfolio management Objective 3.4: To develop and implement geospatial requirements language for Federal grants and contracts The Geo LoB has served as the organizational umbrella to plan and uncork minutiae of the Geospatial Platform and for the execution of  SmartBUY.   Workgroups The Geospatial Line of  Business (Geo LoB) was organized virtually seven  Work Groups. FGDC had been prescribed responsibility for these work groups by the OMB.  The Geo LoB Work Groups focused on cross-agency geospatial issues related to geospatial policy, merchantry requirements, and merchantry management processes.  In May 2010, these groups were retired in preparation for standing up the ad-hoc work groups that ripened the initial tideway and content for the Roadmap for Modernization for the Geospatial Platform.  Learn increasingly well-nigh the Geospatial Line ofMerchantryWork Groups.   Geospatial Line ofMerchantryDeliverables/Accomplishments Key Geo LoB Deliverables andUpbringing(in alphabetical order): WorldwideSolution/Target Architecture (pdf, 1.5mb) Geospatial LoB Strategic Plan (pdf, 884kb) Geospatial LoB Program Management Plan (pdf, 1.5mb) Geospatial Profile Version 2.0, Draft 5.7 (March 6, 2009) (doc, 12mb) SegmentTraceryAnalysis of the Geospatial Platform (doc, 7.6mb) Geospatial SmartBUY Press Release (pdf, 37kb) Geospatial Software SmartBUY Factsheet (pdf, 112kb) National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) Datasets, Themes and Theme Lead List (xls, 75kb)  OMB Circular A-16 and Supplemental Guidance Key Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities (pdf, 205kb) Process for Adjusting OMB Circular A-16 Appendix E: NSDI Geospatial Data Theme Principles (pdf, 126kb) Stages of the Geospatial Data Lifecycle Pursuant of OMB Circular A-16 Sections 8(E)(D), 8(E)(F), and 8(E)(G)  (pdf, 359kb) PMO Concepts of Operations (pdf, 550kb) A full list of Geo LoB deliverables and upbringing is misogynist in the Resource Center.       Contact Us Office: 12201 Sunrise Valley Dr. MS 590 Reston, VA 20192 Fax: (+1) 703 648 5755Email: fgdc@fgdc.gov Subscribe to Our Mailing List for Important News & Updates Subscribe Like us Follow us Follow us The Federal Geographic Data Committee.
