SDSFIE 3.0 Gold Geodatabase Updated
The SDSFIE 3.0 Gold Geodatabase has been updated to match the Logical Data Model. This is not a new version, but a few corrections were made. Please log into the website and download the updated geodatabase from the SDSFIE 3.0 Downloads page.
SDSFIE Moves to the Cloud
The Spatial Data Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure & Environment (SDSFIE) migrated to a cloud environment in December 2011. Following the Federal Cloud Computing Strategy the SDSFIE management team is working in coordination with the office of the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO), which is taking an enterprise approach regarding cloud computing services to maximize IT efficiencies and ensure interoperability and security risks are adequately resolved. As always, our goal will be the efficient and effective delivery of the standard to the communities that desire it.
Website Redesign Announced
We will launch a redesigned website for SDSFIE in the near future. The new site will feature a revamped look and feel, as well as improvements to navigation and workflows. It will incorporate changes recommended by users and approved by the SDSFIE governance board, the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) Group.
The new site will feature an expanded support section and a wiki that will answer common questions and allow users to post lessons learned as well as a ‘tool share’ area. The site, developed by GISi, is the first step in streamlining the community’s experience and how you interact with the standard.
During the redesign process, our goal is to continue existing functionality while incorporating desired changes into the new website. Thank you for your patience and feedback.
The Air Force Adaptation 3.0.1 – Coming Soon
The Air Force (AF) Adaptation 3.0.1 of SDSFIE 3.0 has obtained the final approval from the Defense Installation Spatial Data Infrastructure Group (DISDIG). The AF Adaptation adapts SDSFIE 3.0 Gold to meet AF mission requirements. This AF adaptation is the only authoritative IGI&S data schema/source authorized by the AF.
The AF Adaptation and physical data model will be available through the AF CE portal beginning March 2012. Migration of AF IGI&S SDSFIE 2.X data will begin March 2012 and be completed by October 2012.
