Subject: Announcement: FGDC Endorses Utilities Data Content Standard
FGDC Endorses Utilities Data Content Standard
The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) endorsed the Utilities Data
Content Standard (http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/status/sub3_1.html),
FGDC-STD-010-2000, in June 2000. The Utilities Data Content Standard
specifies the names, definitions, and domains for utility system components
that can be geospatially depicted as feature types and their non-graphical
attributes. It 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 represent 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.
The Utilities Data Content Standard was developed through the FGDC
Facilities Working Group (http://corpsgeo1.usace.army.mil/FGDC/welcome.html
), chaired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The FGDC endorsed the
Utilities Data Content Standard after it had completed all steps of the
FGDC standards approval process (http://www.fgdc.gov/standards).
