Federal Geographic Data Committee. The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is an American organization that operates under the Department of the Interior to promote the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of GIS data, working closely with NOAA, USGS, and NASA. The FGDC collaborates with various stakeholders, including NIST, FHWA, and EPA, to advance the use of geospatial data. By working with organizations such as the OGC and the ISO, the FGDC aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of GIS data sharing and use.

● Introduction

The Federal Geographic Data Committee plays a crucial role in promoting the use of GIS data in various fields, including Urban Planning, Emergency Management, and Environmental Monitoring. The committee works closely with organizations such as the NACo, NLC, and APA to develop and implement geospatial data standards and specifications. By collaborating with Academic Institutions such as Harvard University, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley, the FGDC stays at the forefront of geospatial research and development. The committee also partners with Private Sector Companies like Esri, Google, and Microsoft to leverage their expertise and resources in advancing the use of GIS data.

● History

The Federal Geographic Data Committee was established in 1990, with the signing of Executive Order 12706 by President George H.W. Bush. This executive order aimed to promote the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of GIS data among Federal Agencies, including the DoD, DOT, and DOC. The FGDC has since worked with various organizations, including the NAS, NRC, and GAO, to develop and implement geospatial data standards and specifications. The committee has also collaborated with International Organizations such as the UN, EU, and World Bank to advance the global use of GIS data.

● Organization and Membership

The Federal Geographic Data Committee is composed of representatives from various Federal Agencies, including the DOI, USDA, and HHS. The committee is chaired by the DOI and includes members from organizations such as the NPS, USFS, and BLM. The FGDC also has partnerships with State and Local Governments, including the NASCIO and the NARC. By working with Tribal Governments and Private Sector Companies, the committee aims to promote the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of GIS data.

● Standards and Specifications

The Federal Geographic Data Committee has developed various geospatial data standards and specifications, including the CSDGM and the GeoPFB. The committee has also collaborated with organizations such as the OGC and the ISO to develop and implement geospatial data standards and specifications. By working with Academic Institutions and Private Sector Companies, the FGDC stays at the forefront of geospatial research and development. The committee has also partnered with NIST and NOAA to develop and implement geospatial data standards and specifications.

● Initiatives and Programs

The Federal Geographic Data Committee has launched various initiatives and programs to promote the use of GIS data, including the GeLoB and the NSDI. The committee has also collaborated with organizations such as the USGS and the NASA to develop and implement geospatial data initiatives and programs. By working with State and Local Governments and Private Sector Companies, the FGDC aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of GIS data sharing and use. The committee has also partnered with International Organizations such as the UN and the EU to advance the global use of GIS data.

● Data Themes and Applications

The Federal Geographic Data Committee has identified various geospatial data themes and applications, including Transportation, Emergency Management, and Environmental Monitoring. The committee has also collaborated with organizations such as the FHWA and the EPA to develop and implement geospatial data themes and applications. By working with Academic Institutions and Private Sector Companies, the FGDC stays at the forefront of geospatial research and development. The committee has also partnered with NIST and NOAA to develop and implement geospatial data themes and applications, including Climate Change and Disaster Response.
