FGDC 2010 Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP) Award
In March 2010 HIGICC received a CAP award in Category 4 of the program: "Fifty States Initiative: Business Plan Development and Implementation. Projects in this category are developing and implementing statewide business plans that will facilitate the alignment of federal agencies with statewide geospatial planning activities that advance the NSDI. Up to $30,000 with 50% in-kind match."
HIGICC's project ran from March 2010 through February 2011, and resulted in a "Business Plan for Imagery, Metadata, and GIS Data Portal." This Business Plan builds on one of the Programmatic Goals of the 2009 Strategic Plan to "develop a strategy for assisting data acquisition projects and developing geospatial data standards that cross geographic and administrative boundaries." Although this project focuses specifically on the imagery framework data layer, it will serve as a process model for addressing other layers in the future. The goals are three-fold: 1) define a mechanism to support periodic statewide imagery acquisition; 2) facilitate the adoption of a set of metadata standards; and 3) develop an online spatial data and dissemination mechanism.
Some of the significant milestones of the project-to-date are:
