Currently working on Version 2 of the Data Standard

Factors to ConsiderFactors to Consider Interagency core data set

Data isn’t cheap!

Standardized terminology

Existing, standardized data attributes

Implementation feasibility & timeframes

Is the Trail Accessible?Is the Trail Accessible?Data Standard Example

What Are the Core Attributes?

For managing the Geospatial Component?

For interrelationships (Tabular) with other data sources?

Which is the authoritative source?

Partnership of FGDC, NPS, and NCSUThe FGDC-supported Trail Data Standard will provide, in two

separate parts: data content and data transfer standards for trails of all kinds:

Initially had Data QA/QC component but removed based on comments

Data Content provides semantic definitions of a set of objects. This part specifies and defines the data elements associated with trails.

Data Transfer describes how to produce or consume packages of data, independent of technology and applications that will facilitate moving data between agencies and systems.
