Structures Data Themes for Maryland and the National Capital Region
Award Number 08HQAG0060, Category 5: Building data stewardship for The National Map and the NSDI
The goal of this project is to establish an automated, sustainable means to collect, document, assemble, and distribute landmark structures data to The National Map for Maryland and the National Capital Region. Efforts will initially focus on the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. Pilot participant jurisdictions include Baltimore, Frederick, and Montgomery Counties in Maryland; the District of Columbia; and Fairfax County, Virginia. An effort will be made to establish a scale-dependent hierarchy of buildings that aligns with relevant data models such as the FGDC Homeland Security Geospatial Data Model and GIS for the Nation.
