    Other Federal standards activities Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Standards Office
(ESO)
assists the ESDIS Project in formulating standards policy for NASA
Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS); coordinates standards activities
within ESDIS; and provides technical expertise and assistance to
standards related tasks within the NASA Earth Science Data System
Working Groups (ESDSWG).

The Geospatial-Intelligence Standards WG (GWG) serves as a US DoD,
Intelligence Community (IC), Federal, and Civil
community-based forum to advocate for IT standards and
standardization activities related to Geospatial Intelligence
(GEOINT).

The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)is a community-driven,
standards-based approach to exchanging information. It connects
communities that share a common need to exchange information in order
to advance their mission. It ensures that information is
well-understood and carries the same consistent meaning across various
communities, thereby allowing interoperability to occur.

The Spatial Data Standard for Facilities, Infrastructure and the
Enviornment (SDSFIE) is the single
Department of Defense (DoD) spatial standard that supports common
implementation and maximizes interoperability for installation,
environment, and civil work missions.

standards in government. Its primary focus is on federal agency use of
standards for regulatory purposes.  The website is maintained by
