OpportunityTitle: National Capital Region Cultural Resources GIS Spatial Data
CategoryExplanation: This funding opportunity is to provide the public notice of NPS&apos;s intention to fund the following project activities. Task Agreement # P17AC00912 with the University of Maryland.
Description: Background - In February 2014, the National Park Service (NPS) released new Cultural Resource Spatial Data Transfer Standards (the &quot;Standards&quot;) that all NPS cultural resource inventories must follow when producing new data. All inventory legacy data is required to meet these standards in a timely manner. The benefit of using the standards is to create a database of accurate locations of cultural resources so that they can be managed and shared between parks, parks and regions, among regions, between parks/regions and programs and among programs. The standards will help insure spatial data consistency, quality, accuracy and to insure the data is used appropriately. Using location as a way of linking the 15 existing descriptive cultural resource databases together further allows users to explore all facets of a cultural resource in ways that are not currently possible.
