Subject: FGDC Releases Hydrographic Standard for Public Review
Sender: Julie Binder Maitra <[log in to unmask]>
The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) has released the Hydrographic Data
Content Standard for
Coastal and Inland Waterways for a period of public review ending August
31, 2000. This public review provides software vendors and data users
and producers in all segments of the geospatial community with an
opportunity to comment on this standard in order to ensure that it meets
their needs.
The Hydrographic Data Content Standard for Coastal and Inland
Waterways was developed by the FGDC Bathymetric Subcommittee. The
objective of this standard is to develop a nationally focused hydrographic
data content standard for spatial data that supports safety of navigation.
This standard will provide a consistent catalog of terms and definitions
(semantics) to ensure uniform interpretation of information across a variety
of organizations that develop and use hydrographic feature data and
applications.
Persons interested in reviewing the Hydrographic Data Content Standard
may download the public review draft from the FGDC Standards page at
http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/status/sub5_5.html. All reviewers are
strongly urged to use the Review Comment Template at http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/directives/dir2d.html when preparing and
submitting comments. Reviewers may send their comments to
