The GOS-PI goal was to build a standards-based portal for geospatial information
discovery, access, and mapping. OGC partnered with the Geospatial One-Stop
project on this work. Led by the Department of the Interior, GOS is one of
24 US Office of Management and Budget E-Government initiatives to improve
effectiveness, efficiency, and customer service throughout all layers of government.
Geospatial One-Stop builds upon National Spatial Data Infrastructure objectives
to enhance interoperability among geographic components of government activities.
More information about Geospatial One-Stop is available at http://www.geo-one-stop.gov/.
Sponsorship of this initiative is provided under the auspices of Geospatial
One-Stop by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Federal
Geographic Data Committee, the US Department of Agriculture, and the US Geological
Survey. The initiative sponsors and participants collaboratively refined and
documented the technical architecture of the Geospatial One-Stop Portal. Compusult
was tasked with developing, demonstrating and installing a working prototype
implementation based on that architecture and its Web Enterprise Suite product
line.
The Geospatial One-Stop Initiative is one of 24 OMB electronicgovernment
initiatives that will enhance government efficiency and achieve President
Bush's vision that government be more citizen-based and results oriented.
Geospatial One-Stop will build on investments already made to develop a National
Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and advances in geospatial information
technologies to encourage greater collaboration and coordination in their
use across all levels of government.
