Abstract
  • This presentation provides an overview of the tools and functionality of the Oregon Spatial Data Library (OSDL), partnerships formed to enhance dataset contribution, and user feedback informing the next development phase. Oregon is a natural resource rich state. Those natural resources cut across many jurisdictions. All of these use and create data about the state on a regular basis. With this in mind, the targeted primary users for the OSDL are the staff within federal, state, county and municipal government agencies, and within the sovereign tribes. The OSDL (http://spatialdata.oregonexplorer.info/ ) provides public access to reliable and up-to-date spatial data about Oregon. Currently all Oregon statewide framework data are available from this site and serve as “base data” for GIS applications supporting research, business and public services. More than 200 spatial datasets were accessible at its launch in November 2009. Collaboration with the University of Oregon Libraries will increase that number substantially in 2010. The OSDL joins the Oregon Department of Administrative Services Geospatial Enterprise Office, Oregon State University Libraries, the Institute for Natural Resources and other dataset providers in a common goal: curation of spatial data for maximum use and minimum duplication of effort.
