The Federal Geographic Data
Committee (FGDC), Geospatial One-Stop (GOS), and The National
Map are three national geospatial initiatives that share the
goal of building the NSDI. FGDC focuses on policy, standards, and
advocacy; GOS focuses on discovery and access; and The National Map
focuses on integrated, certified base mapping content. The National Geospatial Programs Office
(NGPO) of the U.S. Geological Survey is the organizational host for
these complementary activities.
