Document Actions
Standards
Standards facilitate the development, sharing, and use of geospatial
data. The FGDC develops geospatial data standards for
implementing the NSDI, in consultation and cooperation with
State, local, and tribal governments, the private sector and academic
community, and, to the extent feasible, the international
community. The FGDC develops geospatial data standards only when
no equivalent voluntary consensus standards exist, in accordance with
OMB Circular A-119.
