Our goal for this presentation… : 

Our goal for this presentation… Educate HQDA Proponents and Functional Subject Matter Experts on how to participate in the development, review and implementation of the Quality Assurance Plans process

Quality Assurance Plans (QAPs) : 

Identifying acceptable data sources Performing quality assurance Quality control Quality Assurance Plans (QAPs) Establish a process for enterprise-wide data collection and provide guidance for:

Installation Geospatial Information & Services (IGI&S) Program : 

Installation Geospatial Information & Services (IGI&S) Program IGI&S supports the Army’s QAP development to align geospatial data across installations

QAPs increase geospatial access and ensures data standardization : 

QAPs increase geospatial access and ensures data standardization QAPs provide data for Army Mapper, http://mapper.army.milthe Army’s installation geospatial system

QAP Roles and Responsibilities : 

QAP Roles and Responsibilities Functional SME Authoritative expert responsible for developing policies and guidelines associated with their assigned geospatial data layer Installation Level SME Responsible for coordinating with data stewards and executing HQDA requirements as outlined in the QAP. Also has approval authority for data layer HQDA Proponent Responsible for developing and maintaining QAPs, which define acceptance criteria for each of their data layers

Stakeholders are Vital to QAPs : 

Stakeholders are Vital to QAPs Allow best interpretation of existing policies and regulations Provide expertise on how data is used in the field and how data should be formatted and managed most effectively

What is GIS? : 

What is GIS?

represents real world objects such as roads, buildings and hydrants as digital data : 

represents real world objects such as roads, buildings and hydrants as digital data GIS Data

Slide 11: 

GIS Features Objects are represented in GIS as features with a specific shape and size or geometry QAPs are concerned with geospatial data represented as points, lines, and polygons Points Lines Polygons

Slide 12: 

Polygons Ft. Knox, Kentucky

Slide 13: 

Streams Lines Roads Electrical Lines Pipelines Railroads

Slide 14: 

Lines can be represented as more complex features Flow Analysis Routing Address Assignment Dynamic Segmentation Geocoding

Slide 15: 

Points

Slide 16: 

Groups of similar GIS features with the same geometry Data Layers

Information associated with individual GIS featuresStored in an attribute table : 

Information associated with individual GIS featuresStored in an attribute table Attributes

Lists or ranges of acceptable values for a given attribute : 

Lists or ranges of acceptable values for a given attribute Domains

Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE) Data Model : 

The DoD standards governing the organization of geospatial data layers and attribute tables Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE) Data Model

SDSFIE : 

SDSFIE Data Model

Slide 21: 

Transportation Entity Set Entity Type Name = Feature Class Name

Characteristics of Attributes and Domains : 

Characteristics of Attributes and Domains Domain Table Relational database tables containing attribute data or other non-graphic information Specific data type and character length Attribute Table Contain a list of “valid” or “permissible values” Attribute name ends in “_d.” Specific data type and character length

Slide 23: 

An enterprise solution designed to meet the needs of GIS professionals and those without GIS expertise or access to GIS applications, but need to view and analyze spatial information It consists of desktop GIS and CADD applications available through CITRIX and internet mapping both of which are served by a central geospatial data repository for the Army Army Mapper’s Initial Operating Capability( IOC) was March 2008, with Full Operating Capability expected in December 2011 Your Role in Army GIS Activities Data specifications and guidance for Army Mapper will be driven by the QAPs SME participation in the QAP development process is vital OACSIM IMCOM

A Look at the QAP Document : 

The QAP provides guidance for identifying acceptable geospatial data sources and performing quality assurance and quality control The second section is comprised of a set of documents that provide specific guidance for each geospatial data layer A Look at the QAP Document The QAP defines geospatial data layer content specifications, geospatial data handling procedures, validation methodology, and metadata content specifications The first section provides general guidance that applies to all the geospatial data layers The QAP is divided into two sections:

The QAP Document Defines… : 

Features to be included in a particular feature class How features should be represented geographically The minimum frequency at which a data layer must be validated Potential source materials used in creating or maintaining the data layer Where the data layer should reside within SDSFIE Required attribute fields populated and their acceptable values Steps utilized to validate the data layer The QAP Document Defines…

OACSIM IGI&S is responsible for: : 

Roles & Responsibilities OACSIM IGI&S is responsible for: creating list of QAPs that must be written developing the list of Functional Subject Matter Experts to be involved in the development process reviewing QAP drafts and final documents overseeing and promoting the development and maintenance of QAPs working in collaboration with proponents to create and validate QAPs providing technical support to proponents when creating and conducting annual reviews
