A heads up on the model:
It’s online at the FGDC website here.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Geospatial Management Office (GMO) has developed this DHS Geospatial Data Model (DHS GDM) in support of urgent DHS mission requirements. This DHS GDM is a standards based, logical data model to be used for collection, discovery, storage, and sharing of homeland security geospatial data. The model will support development of the Department’s services-based geospatial architecture, and will serve as an extract, transform, and load (ETL) template for content aggregation.
DHS allies who have an interest in supporting this model are encouraged to review this DHS GDM and provide comments to the FGDC Homeland Security Working Group. This data model is being constructed in phases. As new versions of the model are delivered, associated documentation will be made available through this website.
Among the goodies: an HTML version of the data dictionary.
Comments and feedback are requested via the FGDC website.
