President's Budget Fiscal Year 2011
In 2010 and 2011, federal data managers for geospatial data will move to a portfolio management approach, creating a Geospatial Platform (see diagram) to support GeoOneStop, place-based initiatives, and other potential future programs. This transformation will be facilitated by improving the governance framework to address the requirements of State, local and tribal agencies, Administration policy, and agency mission objectives. Investments will be prioritized based on business needs. The Geospatial Platform will explore opportunities for increased collaboration with Data.gov, with an emphasis on reuse of architectural standards and technology, ultimately increasing access to geospatial data.
