- Value [1] Geospatial Data
- Guiding Principles -- Federal agencies that produce, collect, maintain, or use spatial data either directly or indirectly
will (1) recognize and manage their data as capital assets, (2) facilitate non-Federal participation in the development of
the NSDI, and (3) work together through the FGDC to provide for effective and economical use and management of geospatial
data in the digital environment for the benefit of the Nation.
