Innovate

GeoData Gateway Implementation

Office of Environmental Information (OEI), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Innovate staff were the primary architects, managers, and facilitators behind the implementation of the United State Environmental Protection Agencies (US EPA) enterprise geospatial portal, called the EPA GeoData Gateway. The GDG leverages web services to provide efficient agency wide geospatial data discovery and retrieval capabilities. Innovate staff also led the integration of the GeoData Gateway into the EPA’s Enterprise Oracle Portal. The goal of this integration effort was to provide seamless access to Agency resources across enterprise systems, leveraging EPA’s central Identity and Access Management (I&AM) System based on Oracle’s COREid. Innovate defined use cases and requirements, managed implementation, performed testing, and facilitated review of results with stakeholders.
