Data Management of Watershed Information and Data Enterprise Repository Implementation at Fort Hood, Texas
William D. Meyer and Marilyn Ruiz , Technical Report , 17 Mar 03 , USA CERL , Champaign, IL , Report No ERDC/CERL TR-03-6 .
In 1998, the Engineer Research and Development Centers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) was tasked with evaluating options for an enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) solution at a military installation. The goals of the evaluation were to determine a technical solution that would use commercial software to support both the daily GIS requirements of the installation as well as spatial modeling efforts. Fort Hood, Texas, was selected as a field site due to the mature GIS usage at the installation and the willingness of key personnel to cooperate in the project.In late September of 2001 the Natural Resources Branch at Fort Hood, Texas, funded the operational implementation of the Data Enterprise Repository (DER). This report documents the implementation efforts and the lessons learned throughout the process. The report concludes with a summary of the current status of the implementation, and provides recommendations on future directions.
