Meeting Recap
- Watershed Boundary Dataset
- This data has been updated on the GIS Hub and will now be updated every two years
- The data on the Hub is a North Dakota-centric January snapshot of the National Watershed Boundary data
- The Hub Data Portal has been updated to include a link to the National Watershed Boundary Dataset
- Future Imagery
- 2017 may be the last year for obtaining the statewide NAIP from the USDA
- Need to look at other options and criteria. Concerns include the need to be able to access previous years, cost, and the need to manage subscription access
- Historical imagery in 10-year blocks is also of interest. We have 90s and late 50s/early 60s and now would like to go further back
- Datum/Coordinate System
- Needs to be more complete documentation on state standards to make it easier for
- conversion to the new datum (by clearly stating what the current standards are)
- vendors and all levels of government to easily determine what is required
- This documentation will placed onto the GIS Hub website
- Needs to be more complete documentation on state standards to make it easier for
- Rural Water Layers
- Existing layers will be renamed for consistency
- New layers will be added, using the new naming which consists of using "RuralWater" as the prefix
- City Boundaries Update
- Work continues with a number of agencies and the League of Cities to determine a workflow for managing submitted data
- GeoPackage
- This is an OGC standard which may be a handy way for one to distribute/share data
- The GIS Hub Data Portal now supports this format for data downloaded
- While the Esri desktop products allow for creation of a geopackage, Esri desktop production are not able to edit the contents of the geopackage
- QGIS allows creation of a geopackage and editing the contents
