Interagency

Improving the interoperability and access to environmental data and related services across US government agencies is an ongoing goal of the Earth Science Data Information Systems (ESDIS) project. To this end, ESDIS has active membership in the United States Group on Earth Observations (USGEO) Architecture and Data Management (ADM) committee. USGEO was established in 2005 under the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to lead federal efforts to achieve a national Integrated Earth Observation Systems (IEOS). More information on these data system activities can be found at: http://usgeo.gov/.
