Federal Geographic
The Federal Geographic Data Committee is a 19 member interagency
committee composed of representatives from the Executive Office
of the President, Cabinet-level and independent agencies. The
FGDC is developing the National Spatial Data Infrastructure
(NSDI) in cooperation with organizations from State, local and
tribal governments, the academic community, and the private
sector. The NSDI encompasses policies, standards, and procedures
for organizations to cooperatively produce andshare geographic
data.
Global Spatial Data Infrastructure
The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure supports ready global
access to geographic information. This is achieved through the
coordinated actions of nations and organizations that promote
awareness and implementation of complimentary policies, common
standards and effective mechanisms for the development and availability
of interoperable digital geographic data and technologies to
support decision making at all scales for multiple purposes.
These actions encompass the policies, organizational remits,
data, technologies, standards, delivery mechanisms, and financial
and human resources necessary to ensure that those working at
the global and regional scale are not impeded in meeting their
objectives
