RE: Notes from 12/21/04 EM GIS SC teleconference

In attendance:

Carl Reed

Tom Merkle
Elysa Jones

The first topic of discussion was 
whether the GIS SC should continue in existence for 2005. Given the continued 
work on CAP, with the new EDXL work, with requirements for commenting on GJXDD, 
and the new enterprise architecture work at DHS, there was unanimous consent 
that the GIS SC should continue its work.

There was then discussion about 
CAP and GJXDD and the development of  a CAP profile that would be 
conformant with the schema rules in GJXDD. Tom provided information as to where 
all the justice schemas could be found.

Then there was discussion about 
the DHS draft Geospatial Enterprise Architecture developed by the Office of 
Geospatial Management at DHS. To promote the needed 
GIS interoperability at the federal, state, and local level, the Department of 
Homeland Security is planning to release a geospatial enterprise architecture 
this Spring, based on a federal, business and performance-based framework to 
support cross-agency collaboration, transformation, and government-wide 
improvement (the federal enterprise architecture).  The 
document can be obtained from DHS once a non-disclosure agreement is signed. The 
contact person at DHS for the NDA and getting the document is:
