Data Management Plan (Deprecated)
GUID: gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:50444 | Published / External
This is an outdated version of the NOAA Data Management Plan template. InPort now supports a dedicated Data Management Plan Catalog Item type, which is up-to-date with the latest NOAA DMP template. The ability to generate Data Management Plans from Data Sets will be discontinued in a future release. Please see the Data Management Plan Help Guide to learn more.
Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
EagleView acquired highly accurate Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data at the USGS QL2 guidelines for the County of Douglas, Wisconsin in November 2016. This data set represents County of Douglas, comprised of approximately 1,333 square miles. LiDAR for this data set was classified and quality controlled by EagleView. Products were generated by Ground Point and subsequently quality controlled by EagleView.
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the lidar and breakline data from the City of Superior, WI site, processed it, and made it available on the the NOAA Digital Coast. The breakline data has not been reviewed and is made available at the user's discretion.
Notes: Only a maximum of 4000 characters will be included.
Notes: Data collection is considered ongoing if a time frame of type "Continuous" exists.
Notes: All time frames from all extent groups are included.
Notes: All geographic areas from all extent groups are included.
(e.g., digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, tabular data, etc.)
(e.g., satellite, airplane, unmanned aerial system, radar, weather station, moored buoy, research vessel, autonomous underwater vehicle, animal tagging, manual surveys, enforcement activities, numerical model, etc.)
2. Point of Contact for this Data Management Plan (author or maintainer)
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.

Process Steps:
- 2016-11-22 00:00:00 - Lidar Preprocessing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Single Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) of the lidar system trajectory for each lift. Lidar ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections were derived. This relative calibration was repeated iteratively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to 3 cm or less. Data were then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control.
- 2016-12-13 00:00:00 - Lidar Post-Processing: After generation of the calibrated point cloud data in LAS format from Optech's Lidar Mapping Suite (LMS), the data is imported into the TerraSolid software suite (running under Bentleys MicroStation) for matching and classification. Upon import, the data is divided into tiles for the purpose of creating more manageable data. Once imported to TerraSolid, blocks of data containing overlapping flight lines are selected. The data in these blocks is analyzed by TerraMatch and adjustments to the roll, pitch, heading, and scale that minimize any data misalignment between the flight lines are computed. These adjustments are then applied to the entire missions worth of data. Data across the mission is then manually reviewed to ensure proper alignment between flightlines has been achieved. This process is then repeated for each mission; once complete, intra-sortie alignment is verified
- 2017-11-20 00:00:00 - The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded the lidar point cloud and breakline data from the City of Superior, WI site on Oct 20, 2017. The files contained lidar elevation and intensity measurements. The data were in WISCRS Douglas feet (NAD83 2011) coordinates and NAVD88 (Geoid12b) elevations in feet. OCM did the following processing to the data for Digital Coast storage and provisioning purposes: 1. Converted the lidar point cloud data from WISCRS Douglas ft (NAD83 2011) coordinates to geographic coordinates 2. Converted the lidar point cloud data from NAVD88 (Geoid12b) elevations to NAD83 (2011) ellipsoid elevations using Geoid12b grids 3. Converted the lidar point cloud data from ft to meters 4. Copied the lidar point cloud laz files to database and https 5. Created an OGC GeoPackage (gpkg) version of the breaklines from the ESRI GeoDatabase (gdb) and copied it and the gdb to https

6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
None
