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.

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Most require additional capacity for developing applications Esri – based map applications spreading, some are outdated ArcIMS sites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