The project will develop and deliver content for a core curriculum in the underlying concepts and operational deployment of systems for publishing data compliant with the FGDC-endorsed NSDI Geographic Information Framework Data Content Standard, using standard, interoperable data services and best practices developed or adopted by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The resulting program will include information suitable for providing managers and decision makers an overview of the benefits, operational processes, and technical architecture that attend to such installations. However, the primary focus will be on training and easing the learning curve for implementers, providing guidance on how most efficiently to approach the often daunting task of serving their data as part of the NSDI, and where to find products and deployment information that is to product-specific to include in the broadly applicable set of lessons that are envisioned.
