Abstract: | |
Established through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16 and charged with the responsibility to coordinate various surveying, mapping, and spatial data activities of federal agencies to meet the needs of the Nation. Major objectives of Circular A-16 are to avoid duplication and minimize costs in mapping and spatial data activities, which involves establishing standards and providing wider access to geospatial data. The FGDC also has been charged with coordinating geospatial data related activities with other levels of government and with public, private, and academic sectors.
The FGDC produces the Manual of Federal Geographic Data Products. This catalog provides a description of and ordering information for federal geographic data products that are national in scope and commonly distributed to the public. Geographic data products include maps, digital data, aerial photography and multispectral imagery, earth science, and other geographically referenced data sets. The manual can be searched at the FGDC web site or ordered from the National Technical Information Service.
