MSDIS General News

Following from last month’s report, we have posted several datasets to the MSDIS Map Data Server with the new naming format that we are proposing for all of our vector data. Datasets with the new naming format include the updated Public Schools Districts, Local Public Health Agencies and Districts, and all of the 2020 TIGER/Line data recently released by the US Census Bureau. In lieu of including the year of the data in the file name, that information is available in the metadata description. No changes have been made to the naming format of the data downloads found in the MSDIS File Library. As we previously mentioned, we are collecting any and all comments, concerns, or criticisms about this suggested change before we make a full effort to rename existing services.

MSDIS users who have become familiar with our ArcGIS Hub page may have noticed the inclusion of two new pages that are now available along the top menu. Specifically, we have recently recreated the Partners page from the MSDIS main page and included a dedicated page for MSDIS Story Maps. Like the changes to our service names, this is another long term project that we are experimenting with. As more of our MAGIC Clearinghouse sister sites adopt ArcGIS Hub, we want to make sure that our Hub page has as much functionality as the MSDIS Main Page. To that end, we will slowly be rolling out additional pages on the Hub site in the coming months. To be clear, this should not be taken as a sign that we are abandoning the MSDIS Main Page. We are not doing that. This is merely a replication of functionality from our older site onto our newer alternate site.

The next year’s goal is working on establishing next gen and the data layers needed for it. Expecting to get with stakeholders after June 1. Sare will be at his until February 2022.
