**2008 NSDI CAP**

**Notes:**
Category 2: In support of the goals of the Geospatial Line of Business (LoB), the effective design and deployment of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using Web Services will determine the success of shared access to geospatial data and applications. This category seeks joint proposals from industry leaders partnering with the federal government to design, deploy, and document reusable geospatial services and applications using SOA. Solutions are sought that satisfy multi-agency requirements through the modeling and deployment of business processes through related data and service components. Documentation of implemented best practices is required to identify and educate federal agencies on the issues of design, implementation, and application for use in future government-wide services associated with the Geospatial LoB.

**2008 NSDI CAP**

**Notes:**
Category 5 will focus on fostering stewardships for either structures data or for transportation data through best business practices.  Primary needs for structures data are the geospatial location, classification, and other characteristics of manmade facilities, based on homeland security requirements.  Primary needs for transportation data are updates for features, attributes, and geometry to the baseline roads data developed through Census MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project (MTAIP) sources.  The data will be part of a national data inventory of consistent, seamless, integrated data that is continuously improved through the incorporation of data updates from the data community.

**2008 NSDI CAP**

**Notes:**
Category 6 will provide funding to organizations to assist in the implementation of FGDC- endorsed standards (excluding metadata standards, see category 1 above).  For many FGDC-endorsed standards, there are few, if any, resources that guide organizations in implementing standards.  Without resources that document best practices, provide experienced advice, and new techniques, the implementing organization has a steep learning curve. 

## The next NSDI CAP season

- The 2009 NSDI CAP will be open for applications in October 2008.
