631 categories such as soils, wetlands, geology, vegetation, and demography. The objectives of this national data base system are to: • encourage and hasten the use of the Spatial Data Transfer Standard • provide a mechanism for improved coordination and standardization of data content and quality • provide for more consistent and compatible Federal spatial data bases • improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Federal agencies and others using Federal spatial data bases • inform users and potential users of digital spatial data regarding availability and data content • clarify Federal agency responsibilities for developing, maintaining, and distri buting spatial data bases Such a system will require that each agency responsible for spatial information about the United States be able to release its information in the standard SDTS format. The up dating and accuracy of a data set would remain the responsibility of the agency that has the mandated responsibility to collect and use that data set. The National Mapping Division of the Geological Survey will establish base data categories, such as hypsography, hydrography, transportation, and boundaries, in data files that will be obtained by the general public through the standard format. It is envisioned that other agencies will make their data available in a similar manner so that a user could acquire those data files and overlay them on Geological Survey base data without knowledge of the internal formats used by the collecting agencies. Using the standard for release of data allows each agency to design and use its own internal format to process spatial data and does not require standardization across the Federal Government on one data structure, data format, and hardware/software system. CONCLUSION It is clear that the time for spatial data standards is here. The availability of standards has many advantages to the data collector, processor, and user, particularly those who need to utilize data from several sources. The establishment of standard terminology will be of great benefit in setting a common language of definitions for users and producers of spatial data. A standard transfer specification will facilitate the exchange of spatial data through out the public and private communities and will enhance the capability for displaying and analyzing and integrating spatial data for a growing number of applications. The availabil ity of information about data quality, such as lineage, completeness, accuracy, and logical consistency, will help users to evaluate the fitness of the data for a particular use. The Spatial Data Transfer Standard provides these characteristics and offers a mechanism for the exchange of spatial data that is long overdue.
