Digital Declaration Data on Nuclear Sites Operators and States Dept. of Safeguards Translation of Format? Transformation Of Data Models Data Model Geospatial Exploitation System (GES) 22
Digital Declaration Data for Nuclear Sites Consider: Promoting the adoption of GIS for sites and its potential benefits Providing tools for translation of local formats and the GES standard data model Is it viable to web-enable GIS tools to allow operators to manage their data in a cloud environment? 23
Challenges Resistance to Change: When new technologies impose themselves on cultures long habituated to older technologies, anxieties of all kinds exists. - Marshall McLuhan Red Queen Effect: "in this place it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." - Lewis Carrol Foundation building: If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." - Carl Sagan 24
The Up Side GIS is a mature, proven technology There is a wealth of experience The tools are easy to learn for end users There are many cost-effective technical options The frontier of change lies with Partnership and Collaboration 25
