New Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) Portal

December 21st, 2006 · 6 Comments · GIS

Something I just learned about yesterday, but I’m sure some of the SDSFIE users might already know about. It looks like there is finally a great resource for implementing SDSFIE, a portal page. I hadn’t seen a link to it before and found it via Google (but today it appears to be on the front page of Upper 90 Systems). I like the web based SDSFIE browser that will come in handy when traveling and I don’t have access to my laptop. The forums are pretty sparse, but I’m sure that is because no one really knows about this resource. Even on the CADD/GIS Technology Center web page there is no mention.

Upper90 has had the web browser since last winter…glad to see they’ve made it more accessible.

Good thing for the portal than because I’ve never seen it. I’ve been using SDSFIE on a stick.

As someone who eats, sleeps, breathes (and dreams), SDSFIE…I’m glad to see this. Thanks for posting the link. I didn’t know about it either.

I’m the new PM for SDSFIE. The SDSFIE website is a new effort, no longer directly associated with the CADD/GIS Center. The new website is a result of this new effort (yes, Upper90 is one of the contractors.) There are some great things coming up for SDSFIE in the near future, including a new UML data model. We appreciate any help we can get in spreading the word about the changes happening to SDSFIE.

… Now that they’ve settled on a new home, here’s hoping that they start on normalizing the domains!

Thanks for checking out the SDSFIE site. We are still under construction, but any feedback you have about the page is very useful. As far as normalizing the domains, I couldn’t agree more! As Bill Ryder said, we will be creating a UML data model over the next year. This will iron out many of the kinks we see in the current standard. It is important that you register a login name if you will be using the site often, as there are extra features that you would otherwise not see (such as the compliance checker). You will also be able to start forums, and respond to posts. Thanks again for checking it out!
