The NATO STANAG 7074, Digital Geographic Information Exchange Standard (DIGEST), is a product of Defense Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG). This standard is related to a number of other international standards and form a model for exchange of Geographic Information. DGIWG continue to work on interoperability standards for geographic data exchange between various military systems and Geographic information system in general. However, after revision 2.1 of DIGEST, released in September 2000, DGIWG has discontinued work on the standard and are currently focusing of incorporating its standards as profiles in ISO/TC 211.
Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or standard:
“We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
“A dwarf who brings a standard along with him to measure his own size—take my word, is a dwarf in more articles than one.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
