  1. Kentucky’s Geographic Information System Presented to - Council of Geographic Names Authorities October 3, 2007 Kenny Ratliff, Director Division of Geographic Information

  2. GIS in Kentucky • Commonwealth Office of Technology • Office of Enterprise Policy and Project Management • Division of Geographic Information Mission Facilitate statewide electronic geographic data sharing and its application for streamlined decision-making, greater efficiency, public protection, and economic vitality.

  3. Cabinet for Health and Family Services

  4. What GIS is not…. • ….the “Great-All” • ….the “End-All” • ….the “Save-All”

  5. But it is…. • ….a powerful part of the tool set for solving and addressing things related to location. GIS – A collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, storing, updating, manipulating, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. • Points (antennas, hazmat events, hydrants, etc.) • Lines (roads, rivers, pipelines, etc.) • Polygons (parcels, lakes, buffers, etc.)

  6. Overview of GIS Data Without GIS – Kentucky Census Data

  7. Overview of GIS Data with GIS – Kentucky Census Data

  8. Overview of GIS Two ways to visualize Data • Raster • Satellite images • Aerial photos • Topo maps • Hillshade • Vector • Points, Lines & Polygons

  9. Who uses GIS in Kentucky?

  10. Social Service Providers Realtors - Job seekers - Service providers Transportationworkers HomelandSecurity Local Communities Local Government Navigation Business Planning Farmers Police Educators Recreation Seekers Business Routing Researchers Emergency Management Providers Property Valuation Assessors Entertainment Seekers Utility Providers Health Care Providers

  11. Why is GIS important to KY? • Police use it to protect us • PVA’s use it to determine our property taxes • Water, sewer, electric and gas companies use it to provide our utilities • Transportation uses it to build our highways • Health Industry uses it to protect us • Social Services use it to protect our children and senior citizens • Farmers use it to produce our food • FEMA uses it to protect us from floods • Post Office uses it to deliver our mail • Homeland Security & emergency managers use it to protect us • Fuel companies use it to drill wells to supply us with fuel • UPS & Fedex use it to deliver our packages • Realty companies use it to help buy/sell our property • Companies that want to establish businesses in Kentucky use it to make location decisions • Papa Johns uses it to deliver pizzas • The list goes on and on…..

  12. Federal Agencies using GIS

  13. Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .GIS implementation began at NREPC (ESRI User Number: 31) • In 1982, PRIME 750 elite machine in GIS • 12 megabytes of memory, yes MB not GB! • 600 megabytes of disk space • 4 mb upgrade to 16 mb cost $12,000 • Technician soldered jumpers on the system board

  14. Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .Data Input ?

  15. Ky GIS History 1980’s . . .Output ? • Basically, everything was on the server . . .

  16. Ky GIS History 1990’s . . . • Many state agencies and the Area Development Districts begin to embrace GIS technology • Northern Kentucky, LFUCG, & LOJIC create high-end implementations (urban areas) • NREPC puts a couple dozen datasets out for download on the Internet / KGS does the same • Kentucky creates a Geographic Information Advisory Council (GIAC now KyGB) to provide input and oversight regarding GIS implementation

  17. Ky GIS History 2000 . . . • • Image data available for free downloadTopos and orthos on Kymartian • • Dozens of vector layers and raster data made available for download • • NREPC begins implementation of Kentucky’s first internet mapping site (Custom Map Objects IMS Application)

  18. Ky GIS History 2002 . . . • • KYGEONET comes to life (ESRI’s ArcIMS Metadata Service) • • Several publishers load nearly 100 datasets within just a few months • • Kentucky’s Geospatial Data Clearinghouse becomes a reality • • Metadata is included that increased data value • • Nearly 20 IMS exist

  19. Ky GIS History 2004 … • DGI developed a strategic plan and got buy-in from the leadership of COT • Moved the KYGEONET to DGI’s office

  20. Ky GIS History 2005 thru today - • • KYGEONET has over 400 published items • • The resource is maintained by over a dozen “responsible” publishers • • Published 23 layers to The National Map (USGS) • • Full integration with federal Geospatial One Stop (GOS II) and the federal Geography Network • • 40+ IMS in use daily

  21. The Commonwealth Map • Contains 28 layers of information • Is tapped for Kentucky layers to The National Map

  25. Kentucky Event Mapping Analysis Portal (KEMAP) • Contains 148 layers of information • Password protected site • Most layers not available to the general public • Has several tools available on the dash

  37. KyRaster • Kentucky’s Geospatial Database for Raster data • Was collectively built by GIS Staff from several state agencies • Resides in mirrored instances at Cold Harbor Computing Center • Contains all the aerial images, topographic maps, digital elevationmodels, hillshade, SPOT satellite imagery, trucolor imagery, land cover imagery, slope, and other critical raster GIS base layers • Is leveraged by nearly every state agency (that does GIS) • Drives all of the IMS applications served by state government • Is leveraged on the GIS Desktop by users in state agencies

  38. Components of KyRaster Range from satellite imagery to DEMs to topographic maps to aerial photography

  39. KyVector • Kentucky’s Geospatial Database for vector data • Is the master repository of vector-based (lines, polygons, and points) • Is based on all vector data that is available on the Kentucky Geography Network • Mirrors the categories on the “browse” tab of the KYGEONET • Contains full metadata records for each vector dataset • Leveraged by ArcGIS Users on the WAN • Leveraged by many IMS • Resides in mirrored instances at Cold Harbor Computing Center
