[gpl_list] data duplication

[SMITH Cy * EISPD GEO]

I wanted to follow up on the question I asked about web services
recently.  Thanks to those of you that replied to my message below.
Several of you said something similar, which I will paraphrase as, "We
would still have to keep a copy of some of the Framework data because
web services are great but limit our ability to perform geospatial
analysis and/or to make aesthetically pleasing maps, both of which are
often required to support our agency business processes."

 

>From what I've heard, it appears that providing access to the Framework
data via web services is valuable and will save some (undetermined)
amount of storage space for state agencies, both those currently in the
SDC and those that aren't.  Part of the Data Storage Reduction business
case includes an option to provide Active Directory access to data at
the SDC.  If that option is ultimately implemented, we will be able to
provide direct access to the Framework data to state agencies, in
addition to providing FTP and web services access.  I am also working on
a pilot project with Metro to demonstrate switchboard (enterprise
service bus) technology that will ultimately enable us to provide direct
access to Framework data, and possibly much more, to the geospatial
community, not just to state agencies.

Hi folks, I'm going to try to get this message out fairly quickly
because I was supposed to do this a while back and didn't get to it yet.
As such, you may find that I'm not asking the question in a very clear
manner.  My apologies.  Please ask for clarification if you need it.
Just wanted to make that caveat up front.

 

As part of trying to help ODOT make the case that there's money to be
saved if we can eliminate geospatial data duplication, we've been
working with the following list of raster and vector data sets that
represent the basic Framework data we have agreed to share.  At GEO, we
are making progress at offering all this data as web services, both REST
and WMS.  The assumption is that will meet most everyone's need and will
eliminate the necessity for multiple agencies to store and create these
data sets individually.

 

What we need to know now is how much data storage we can ultimately
eliminate by offering the data as web services.  The original question
was about how much data storage we could eliminate at the State Data
Center, but it would also be very helpful to know how much storage would
be eliminated over all, not just at the SDC.  So for those of you state
agencies receiving this message who are now storing versions of these
data sets, and for whom the navigatOR web services would satisfy your
need and allow you to stop storing that data redundantly, please let me
know as soon as possible, preferably by the end of next week.  I need to
know the size of the data sets you would ultimately eliminate if we are
able to meet your need.  You can put those numbers below next to each
data set in your reply.  Thanks!
