IntroductionsNameDepartmentWhat you are doing and/or hope to do with GISWhat do you hope to get out of this User Group?

Page 4: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group

Page 5: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Technical User Group

Page 6: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Technical User GroupTHIS IS YOUR USER GROUP!!For anyone:

New to GISExperienced in GISInterested in finding out more about GIS

We see new users as a valuable additional resource!Improve communicationIncrease effectiveness of GIS county-wide both internally and externally by having an internal working groupIndividuals will benefit on-the-job by using GIS as a toolEncourage collaboration and partnershipsProvide a learning environment:

Hands-On TrainingProject demonstrations, presentations, etc

Page 7: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Technical User GroupPresentations for users by usersIncrease awareness of technical and data resourcesEncourage discussionIdentify data needsForm special-interest workgroups

Example: Emergency Preparedness

Page 8: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Technical User GroupInitially, meetings will be held on a bi-monthly basis…will adjust as neededThis is YOUR User Group!!An idea to consider:

Split this group into two subgroups: New Users Experienced Users

Meet for 1-2 hoursFirst half hour: Entire Technical User Group meets togetherSecond half hour: Subgroups meet to come up with recommendations for the entire groupThird half hour: Entire group comes together and discuss recommendations

History and Development ofRamsey County GIS

David Claypool, P.L.S.Ramsey County Surveyor

Page 10: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Three Land Surveyors… and one other guy

Page 11: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Ramsey County GIS2 primary goals:

To create a basemap and database that was as accurate as possible To build a GIS collaboratively

Page 12: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

It’s all about COLLABORATION!Collaborative efforts will help to ensure your successWe ALL benefit by working togetherSharing knowledge of available data and the process to obtain it is valuable to all of us

Page 13: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

CollaborationWhat you could end up looking like if you choose to do GIS on your own!!

Ramsey County’s GIS Fee ScheduleIn process of updatingData can be purchasedCharges for printing and plottingCharges for staff timeCustom projects

Page 26: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Ramsey County’s GIS LicensingALL Ramsey County Digital Base GIS Data is licensed!

Please become familiar with the conditions of useIt cannot be freely distributed to anyone outside of Ramsey County or the Ramsey County GISUGIf you have a 3rd-party working on a project for you

A signed license agreement must be completed before data will be distributed

Page 27: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Where we’re going…

Curt Peterson, GIS Supervisor

Page 28: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Where we are now: Current Data Access Model

GIS users must physically move update data to their own desktops or servers

Monthly CD updatesFTP sites:

RCGISUG – Password protected Public – Anonymous login

Time consumingDanger of utilizing data that isn’t current

Page 29: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Where We’re Going : Enterprise GISWhat is an Enterprise GIS System?

Centralized data resourceContains both graphical and tabular data

Page 30: Ramsey County Internal GIS Technical User Group Kickoff March 10, 2004.

Why move to an Enterprise GIS System?

Provides County wide functionality. Simplifies data layer maintenance/updating Serves a wider range of county needs. More efficient data distribution Opportunity to be a direct node on the MetroGIS Data CaféOpportunity for participation among multiple departments. Promotes shared vision, collaboration and development.

Where We’re GoingTransition from ArcView3 and Arc/Info7 to ArcGIS

Migration of dataCreation of new applicationsBuilding database schemasData compatibilitiesAnd other behind the scene GIS functions…

At least a one year project
