Transcript High priority recommendations

June – Sept 2011

Secretarial Order No. 3289 establishes Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), a network of public-private partnerships that provide shared science to ensure the sustainability of America's land, water, wildlife and cultural resources.

Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) recognize that these challenges transcend political and jurisdictional boundaries and require a more networked approach to conservation —holistic, collaborative, adaptive and grounded in science to ensure the sustainability of America's land, water, wildlife and cultural resources.

As a collaborative, LCCs seek to identify organizations coordinate existing authorities and jurisdictions.

best practices, connect efforts, identify gaps, and avoid duplication through improved conservation planning and design. Partner agencies and with each other while working within their

Survey Framework

People Data Applications Infrastructure

 Capacity unevenly distributed within and between organizations  Work at varying scales, extents, boundaries  Large pool of skills and knowledge but tend to work in silos

     Collaborative data development could achieve more than individual projects Limited by restrictions on data sharing Consistent, high resolution land cover needed across region Could help coordinate LiDAR Climate, energy development, human impacts, ecological processes

 Most require additional capacity for developing applications  Esri – based map applications spreading, some are outdated ArcIMS sites

Options

Data security Datasets can be downloaded Data search catalog Datasets can be downloaded based on user parameters Responsiveness System can grow dynamically Metadata can be added, viewed, edited Integrated with other online systems Run analysis tools Personal or private workspace within larger application Integrated with desktop systems Upload, view and share associated documents Functions available when disconnected from internet Controlled permissions to edit data Control scale at which datasets can be viewed Controlled permissions to access data Multiple versions of data supported Personal profile shared with other users Independent look and feel (e.g. GPLCC branding) Multi-user editing Data can be edited online 0 5 10 15 20 25 30

 Additional server capacity needed for large datasets  Challenging to piece together data from existing portals / clearinghouses  Cloud infrastructure is worth evaluating

 Create data development working groups (starting with land cover)  Evaluate technology options  Implement data sharing portal

 Define requirements for applications  Coordinate acquisition of licensed data  Improve internal knowledge-sharing

 Increase external communication
