Volunteer for the GIS Data Transition Working Group

NENA seeks volunteers for a new working group to write a NENA Information Document that will provide guidance to GIS professionals in the transition to NG9-1-1, for applying NENA’s standards and other information documents to their data development activities, and for everyday maintenance of GIS address attributes. 

The intent of this working group is to clarify the use of civic address fields within the NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model to support the transition from E9-1-1 to NG9-1-1. The WG will build upon lessons learned, and suggest best management practices for common challenges faced by GIS professionals transitioning through phases of GIS readiness, from initial creation of GIS data for E9-1-1, to supporting both E9-1-1/ALI-style addresses and NG9-1-1 CLDXF-style civic locations.

Volunteers for this work group should be subject matter experts in:

• Assessing and maintaining MSAG/ALI/GIS records, ensuring their accuracy, and keeping them synchronized (NENA 71-501);
• The NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model (NENA-STA-006) civic location layers and their attributes, especially the differences between legacy fields and fields that support CLDXF; and
• GIS data needed to support civic address lookup by various elements of the i3 Standard for NG9-1-1 (NENA-STA-010), especially current work on i3 v3, and CLDXF v2.

Weekly calls will tentatively be held on Mondays at 3:30PM Eastern.
