Agenda
This meeting will be dedicated to the discussion of DATA. We have two scheduled speakers and I encourage everyone who plans on attending to come prepared to talk about what data they have and what data they need.
Ray Fox, USGS - Imagery for the State/LiDAR - current status and future plans including urban area updates. Imagery for the State with 2' resolution imagery will be complete and available by December of 2009. In 2010 USGS in cooperation with NGA will be acquiring one foot or better (6"?) imagery for the St Louis metro area, Kansas City and Jefferson City. LiDAR, a spreadsheet is being developed to track LiDAR acquisitions in the state, this along with known future acquisitions will be discussed.
Mark Duewell, MSDIS Program Manager – Data redundancy and backups including changes coming to MSDIS. We will discuss efforts to discover Missouri geospatial metadata to create the state’s first comprehensive inventory. We have a clearinghouse – but no real knowledge of how much data is out there or what it is. The clearinghouse data is freely provided by the data set’s custodians for MSDIS to publish. But we constantly discover a tremendous amount of new data that MSDIS may never host but still has a state mandate to collect a metadata record of when it exists.
