The Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) is the single Department of Defense spatial data standard that supports common implementation and interoperability for installations, environment, and civil works missions.  Seven principals guide the development of SDSFIE:

• SDSFIE will focus on the geospatial representation of features and maintain a minimum number of attributes. It will link to our business databases for attribute data and not duplicate attributes found in business databases.
• SDSFIE will provide a data model that is scalable from installation mapping up to service level and DoD; from local to global.
• If a relevant data content standard already exists, SDSFIE must incorporate it into the model rather than develop new content.
• SDSFIE standard development will follow a nationally recognized development process
• SDSFIE will reside in the public domain and is vendor neutral
• The standard will be responsive and built to support the business needs of data creators and end users
• SDSFIE is governed and managed by the Services.
