Attachment A The following describes those federally maintained, endorsed or adopted initiatives that grantees are strongly recommended to review: National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) (httD:/Iwww.fadc.aov/nsdi/nsdi.html) The NSDI was created under Executive Order 12906 calling for the establishment of the NSDI defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, private and nonprofit sectors, and the academic community. The NSDI clearing house is available to local, state, and federal contributors to register as clearinghouse nodes where metadata about geospatial data, services, and resources can be published and harvested for discovery by any user. FGDC manages NSDI and provides guidance and instruction for using and registering nodes on NSDI. Geospatial One Stop Portal (www.aeodata.aov) As a part of one of Office of Management and Budget's 24 Federal E-Gov initiatives (www.whitehouse.Qov/omb/eQov/), the Geospatial One Stop portal was established to promote data sharing across federal entities and is available to the public for use as a discovery portal. Geospatial One Stop portal (www.Qeodata.Qov) is an interface to NSDI established under Executive Order 12906. The portal harvests geospatial resource metadata from nodes registered with NSDI and is a repository for all metadata published and accessible on NSDI. Users also have the option to publish metadata holdings directly to Geospatial One Stop enabling smaller organizations with the ability to share and collaborate on geospatial resources. An important feature on Geospatial One Stop for grantees is the geodata.gov Market Place. Here users can find information about planned acquisitions of geospatial resources and future projects or activities that may align with their own objectives. If grantees find no existing resources on Geospatial One Stop in either the metadata searches or in the Market Place, they are strongly encouraged to register their planned activities for geospatial data acquisition or future projects and activities so that others may prevent from redundant efforts. United States National Grid (httD:/Iwww.fgdc.aov/standards/status/usng.html) The objective of this US National Grid standard is to create a more interoperable environment for developing location-based services within the United States and to increase the interoperability of location services appliances with printed map products by establishing a nationally consistent grid reference system as the preferred grid for NSDI applications. The U.S. National Grid is based on universally-defined coordinate and grid systems and can, therefore. be easily extended for use world-wide as a universal grid reference system. There are a number of coordinate reference systems that can be used either in location service appliances or on printed maps for the purpose of establishing a location. Within 1-2
