Abstract
 Disseminating Critical Pipeline Infrastructure Data with GIS Track: Petroleum and Pipeline Transmission Author(s): Samuel Hall, Amy Nelson, Jay Mukherjee, Daniel Meehan The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) is a GIS dataset owned by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety (US DOT OPS). It contains features and attributes representing hazardous liquid and gas pipelines in the U.S. The main challenge of this Federal program is protecting sensitive data while making it available to qualified parties for activities such as analysis and emergency response. The US DOT OPS and its contractor have designed an ArcIMS Web site displaying pipeline data with background layers such as quads, Unusually Sensitive Areas, High Population Areas, and Federally-owned property. Innovations on the ArcIMS site include the use of OpenGIS to display other agencies' data, granting users partial data access by password, advanced buffering and querying, and security features.
