Digital Geographic Exchange Standard

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:

    Development, it turns out, occurs through this process of progressively more complex exchange between a child and somebody else—especially somebody who’s crazy about that child.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.
    Anne Tucker (b. 1945)
