    Utilities Data Content Standard, FGDC-STD-010-2000 Document number
FGDC-STD-010-2000
Maintenance Authority
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this Utilities Geospatial Data Content Standard (hereafter
abbreviated as Utilities Standard) is to standardize geospatial information
for utility systems.  This standard specifies the names, definitions,
and domains for utility system components that can be geospatially depicted
as feature types and their non-graphical attributes.  This Utilities
Standard is classified as a Data Content Standard in the Federal
Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Standards
Reference Model.
SCOPE
This Utilities Standard supports large-scale, intra-city applications
such as engineering and life cycle maintenance of utility systems. 
The components of each utility system described in this Utilities Standard
are considered to represnent features located outside the foundation of
an enclosed structure.  This Utilities Standard describes eleven feature
classes: compressed air, electrical distribution, electrical monitoring/control,
fuel distribution, heating/cooling systems, industrial waste, natural gas
distribution, saltwater, storm drainage collection, wastewater collection,
and water distribution.  This standard does not contain all features
necessary to describe or model communications, alarm systems, or long distance
utilities networks that stretch between cities.  As with the Spatial
Data Transfer Standard (SDTS), this standard uses a logical data model.
