IMPLEMENTING THE SPATIAL DATA TRANSFER STANDARD Hedy J. Rossmeissl and Karen A. Irby U.S. Geological Survey 510 National Center Reston, Virginia 22092 U.S.A. ABSTRACT Significant developments have occurred in the disciplines of cartography and geography in recent years with the advent of computer hardware and software that manipulate and process digital cartographic and geographic data more efficiently. The availability of inexpensive and powerful software and hardware systems offers the capability of displaying and analyzing spatial data to a growing number of users. As a result, developing and using existing digital cartographic data bases is becoming very popular. The absence of uniform standards for the transfer of digital spatial data is hindering the exchange of data and increasing costs. Both the Federal Government and the academic community have been working over the last few years to develop a transfer standard for digital spatial data that includes definitions of terminology, a spatial data transfer specification, recommendations on reporting digital cartographic data quality, and topographic and hydrographic entity terms and definitions. This proposed standard was published in the January 1988 issue of The American Cartographer. This paper will outline the contents of the standard; describe efforts to test and promote the standard; summarize activities to review and finalize the standard by a Technical Review Board composed of Federal Government, private sector, and university representa tives; outline the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) review and approval process; and discuss user interfacing with the standard. Empirical testing of the standard was completed in early 1989. The standard underwent revision by the Technical Review Board as a result of the testing and peer review, and was submitted to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for approval as a FIPS publication in June 1990. This was a national effort to develop a spatial data transfer standard for use throughout the Federal Government that will have wide-ranging implications to the GIS community. Since the use of the standard makes it easier to transfer geographic information, there will be benefits in a much broader arena. 624
