Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) The purpose of
			 this rule is to implement the electronic signature provisions of the Uniform
			 Electronic Signatures Act (UETA). The rule is not intended to apply to the
			 other provisions of the act.

			 This rule applies prospectively to new software applications with electronic

			 level of assurance the agency needs that the party signing an electronic
			 transaction is authentic.
(b) Use
			 only those tools and software applications approved by NIST and the Department
			 of Administrative Services, Information Resources Management Services Division

			 needed.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 125 - DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES › Division 600 - IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION/ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES › Section 125-600-7550 - Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) Software Standard

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1)
Purpose
. The purpose of this rule is to establish a common,
			 enterprise GIS Software standard to promote the creation, use and exchange of
			 inter-related and standards-based geographic data and geospatial business
			 intelligence within and between state agencies. The objective of this standard
			 is to provide a common geospatial software and data framework underpinning all
			 future computer applications containing geospatial components thus increasing
			 the value and use of those applications as state information technology assets.
			 The GIS Software standard will also allow the State of Oregon the opportunity
			 to leverage the buying power of the broadest possible user base. The GIS
			 Software standard is anticipated to enable the most integrated, economic and
			 efficient acquisition, installation and use of GIS across Oregon state
			 government. These outcomes will be made possible through the:
(a) Current installed base of GIS software
			 and trained expertise within state agencies.
(b) General technical benefits associated
			 with the use of standardized software, including but not limited to:
(A) Simplified software and application
			 infrastructure configurations.
(B)
			 Ease of software installations and upgrades.
(C) Simplified application connectivity,
			 security and data distribution architectures.
(D) The capacity for simultaneous multi-user
			 editing, dataset versioning, and history retention.
(E) The ability to utilize existing
			 geospatial business intelligence to ensure data integrity and consistency via
			 the establishment of topology rules, data attribute domain rules, and data
			 validation rules.
(c)
			 Enterprise-oriented data and application accessibility offered by the use of
			 common GIS software deployed across state agencies.
(d) Enhanced functionality and
			 interoperability of related software components within a suite of software
			 applications including the reduction of costly data translations between
			 diverse software products and the ability to leverage data modeling and
			 processing efforts for reuse between agencies.
(e) Ease of sharing geospatial data among
			 agencies and with the public based on a common GIS software
			 infrastructure.
