NSDI
The NSDI ensures that spatial information is accurate and available to state, local, and tribal governments as well as to academia and the private sector. The NSDI obeys four primary values:
- Privacy and Security of raw and processed citizens' personal data and accuracy of statistical data
- Access to these data per guidelines subject to OMB Circular A-130
- Protection of proprietary interests to these data
- Interoperability between various federal agencies' information systems within these data
The NSDI supports the advancement for a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure that coincides with National Security interests. Any Federal system that develops international data in accordance with these systems must follow international voluntary standards as outlined by Circular A-119.
The NSDI has five parts:
- data themes
- metadata
- the National Spatial Data Clearinghouse
- technical standards
