Comprehensive and authoritative baseline geospatial data content is
crucial to the nation and to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The
USGS founded its Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information
Science (CEGIS) in 2006 to develop and distribute national
geospatial data assets in a fast-moving information technology
environment. In order to fulfill this mission, the USGS asked the
National Research Council to assess current GIScience capabilities
at the USGS, identify current and future needs for GIScience
capabilities, recommend strategies for strengthening these
capabilities and for collaborating with others to maximize research
productivity, and make recommendations regarding the most effective
research areas for CEGIS to pursue. With an initial focus on
improving the capabilities of The National Map, the report
recommends three priority research areas for CEGIS: information
access and dissemination, data integration, and data models, and
further identifies research topics within these areas that CEGIS
should pursue. To address these research topics, CEGIS needs a
sustainable research management process that involves a portfolio
of collaborative research that balances short and long term goals.
