DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Meeting To Update Stakeholders on the Progress of the Recreation
One-Stop Initiative
Date: Thursday, November 21, 2002.
Registration: 12:30 p.m.-1 p.m.
Meeting: 1 p.m.-4 p.m.
Location: American Institute of Architects (AIA), 1735 New York
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20006.
Background
Recreation.gov (www.recreation.gov) is an Internet portal providing
one-stop access to federal recreation information. The service, which
is hosted by the Interior Department, is a partnership among Federal
natural resources agencies, with participation from State and local
agencies. Recreation.gov is being expanded to a broader service called
Recreation One-Stop. The Administration's E-Government task force
selected Recreation One-Stop as one of 24 government-wide Internet
projects intended to expand and improve on-line access to government
information and services. The goals of the Recreation One-Stop
initiative are to improve the quality and availability of recreation
information through partnerships, data sharing, and innovative uses of
technology.
The Recreation One-Stop Team held a public meeting on March 7,
2002, in Washington, DC to discuss the goals and objectives of the
project, and to obtain feedback from stakeholders and interested
parties. A summary of the meeting is available on the web at http://
recreation.gov/summary.cfm.
The project team has taken action on many of the recommendations
made at the March 7 meeting. Additional features have been added to the
Recreation.gov site, and the project team commissioned an independent
report by the Industry Advisory Council (IAC) to identify best
practices related to development of data standards and governance of
intergovernmental portal projects.
Purpose of Meeting
The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public and our
stakeholders with an update on actions taken since the March meeting,
and to solicit feedback and suggestions on the next phases of the
project.
Topics
Areas to be covered at the meeting include the following:
Update: The Recreation One-Stop Team will provide an overview of
actions taken since the last stakeholder meeting, and provide an
overview of the IAC best practices study.
Technology: One of the common themes from the March stakeholder
meeting was the importance of developing data standards and the
importance of data quality and availability. The status of
intergovernmental data standards for recreation will be discussed.
Governance: Recreation One-Stop is evolving toward a Federal-State/
Public-Private partnership to promote data sharing related to
recreational resources. One of the issues to be discussed is the
development of an appropriate governance structure for this initiative.
Attendance
This is a public meeting open to anyone interested in learning more
about Recreation One-Stop and providing input on the development of the
project. For more information, please contact Charlie Grymes at the
