  2. Getting It… Together Development of the “ITDS” • Requested by Interagency Trails Council • Establish a common set of data standards • Applicable to all agency-managed trails

  3. Factors to Consider • Interagency core data set • Data aren’t cheap! • Standardized terminology • Existing, standardized data attributes • Implementation feasibility & timeframes

  4. ITDS Attribute Review Criteria Does (or is) the Attribute… • Relate to a core interagency question? • Of national, regional or statewide significance? • Provide data needed to meet applicable laws, regulations and/or policies? • Address key congressional, OMB and department-wide reporting requirements? • Currently available or obtainable?

  5. What Do We Want To Know? Interagency Trail Questions • Basic Trail Information (trail name, length, location, etc.) • Management Information (trail uses, accessibility status, condition, cost, etc.) • Additional NST / NHT Questions (trail administrator, certified sites and segments, etc.)

  6. Answering the Questions Interagency Trail Data Standards • Data Attribute • Attribute Definition • List of Values (LOVs) • Data Parameters • ITDS Application Protocols • Crosswalk Translation (if needed)

  7. Is the Trail Accessible?Data Standard Example Data Attribute:Accessibility Status Attribute Definition:Accessibility guideline compliance status for the trail or trail segment. List of Values:Accessible Not Accessible Not Evaluated

  8. ITDS Attributes

  9. ITDS Codes Standardized List of Values for each Attribute

  10. ITDS Data Parameters Defined for Each ITDS Attribute • GIS Item Name • GIS Alternate Name • Data Definition (Type & Width) • Attribute Null / Not Null • Multiple Values Allowed?

  11. ITDS Data Parameters

  12. ITDS Attributes 34 3 13

  13. Interagency BenefitsAdditional Benefits of Working Together Interagency Trail Tools • Trail Class • Managed Use • Designed Use • NHT Corridor Concept • NHT Condition Categories

  14. ITDS Implementation How are agencies incorporating the Interagency Trail Data Standards? BLM: Adapting the standards into FAMS NPS: Adapting the standards into FMSS FWS: Adapting the standards into SAMMS USFS: Majority of standards incorporated in Infra Trails. Remaining standards planned for Infra Trails or Infra Heritage (for specific NHT attributes)

  15. Comment & ReviewInternal & External ITDS Review Internal Review: • 2003: NPS, USFS, BLM, FWS External Review: • 2004: National trail partners & trail organizations

  16. Currently Underway Interagency Trail and GIS representatives currently collaborating on: Federal Trail Data Standards Review & publication of the ITDS by the FGDC
