Resource Access Roads Geospatial Data Information Management Plan and Data Management Guide Location based information is used extensively by MNR staff to deliver or support the MNR’s business activities as highlighted in the examples below. Diagram 1 Location based information related to resource access roads are a responsibility of both local and main office levels within the MNR. Geospatial data containing the x, y ground coordinates of the road centreline plus a series of descriptive attributes associated with the road is created and maintained through the MNR’s corporate Natural Resources and Values Information System (NRVIS). The MNR’s geospatial roads data within NRVIS has become dated and no longer addresses today’s business requirements. As a result, users have had to build their own solutions in order to meet day-to-day business demands. The MNR now has varying corporate and local data standards, road network classification systems and ad-hoc data maintenance activities. In order to remedy these data issues, a Strategy for the Improvement and Maintenance of the MNR’s Geospatial Data on Resource Access Roads was developed through 2004 to 2006. An internal consultative process across MNR business areas and programs was conducted to obtain agreement on data content, standards and responsibilities in producing and maintaining roads data. With positive support received across the organization, the strategy moved to the project implementation stage in the fall of 2006. 4
Resource Access Roads Geospatial Data Information Management Plan and Data Management Guide The Strategy identified a series of steps to successfully improve the MNR’s geospatial data for resource access roads: 1. Create an Information Management Plan. 2. Agree upon a set of established Data Standards (spatial and tabular). 3. Develop a new NRVIS Resource Access Roads Layer and tools to collate and integrate existing datasets. 4. Develop Data Maintenance Procedures for Resource Access Roads. 5. Have the MNR become a user and contributor to the Ontario Road Network. 1.1 Purpose of Document The Information Management Plan and Data Management Guide was developed by the Resource Access Roads Team to provide direction, information and assistance in understanding: - the MNR’s resource access roads geospatial data - how it is being improved and managed - who has what responsibilities - what data processes and support models are in place. 1.2 Audience This document is intended to provide direction to staff across the MNR’s business and program areas who are involved in creating, maintaining and using resource access roads geospatial data. This document will also be of interest to the MNR’s partners and people or groups with a direct interest in how the MNR manages its resource access roads geospatial data. 1.3 Data Scope The geospatial data that falls within scope of this Information Management Plan and Data Management Guide are resource access roads that meet the following definition: “A travel route that was constructed for and used by conventional street legal vehicles and may include winter roads” Recreation trails and short-term forest operation roads (skidder trails) are out of scope. 5
