Subject: GIS SC draft charter
Here's a proposal for the charter of the new GIS Subcommittee, drafted among Dave Denko, Bill Schroeder, and me. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Geographic Information Systems Subcommittee (GIS SC) Scope of Work - Geography and spatial location are an extremely important part of Emergency Management. Geographic information standards are becoming mature and being integrated into general Information Technology standards. This subcommittee will ensure the proper use and integration of these geographic standards into the development of Emergency Management interoperability standards. Purpose - The purpose of this subcommittee is to ensure existing geographic information standards are properly used and integrated into Emergency Management standards. This may include developing profiles and application schemas of existing geographic information standards for EM, if and when unique sets of requirements are identified. The SC will seek to make EM TC participants aware of the correct use of coordinate reference systems, GIS capabilities, feature classes, geographic metadata, and other related geospatial information. Deliverables - (1) By June 2003, provide to EM TC participants educational materials, as well as identifying specific standards and standards work such as the Open GIS Consortium, ISO TC 211 and the FGDC Framework Themes progressing in ANSI; (2) By September 2003, provide advice on the GIS aspects of the particular EM TC standards work concerning the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP); (3) By December 2003, institute the process to reach a consensus position on how best to align symbologies across different maps used in an emergency. -----------------------------------------------------------------
