NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Know the Earth…Show the Way UNCLASSIFIED 3 GEOINT Standards Working Group Inaugurated January 2005 Working as a Community: Eliminate duplicative standards investments that deliver the same or similar capabilities Bring subject matter experts together within the DoD and IC to fully address GEOINT standards matters Enhance our ability to manage and share GEOINT data among disparate groups

NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Know the Earth…Show the Way UNCLASSIFIED 4 GEOINT Standards Working Group Leverage ongoing standardization efforts in the GEOINT industry as well as in DoD, and internationally Establish broad-based “focus groups” to serve as a forum for coordinating standards activities Manage GEOINT standards for the NSG community via the DoD Information Technology (IT) Standards Registry (DISR) Ensure that standardization efforts are closely aligned with implementation requirements and schedules Develop a GEOINT standards process that implements this strategy “The formation of this new standards body [GWG] demonstrates a growing realization that geospatial applications must be standards-based if GEOINT is to be a world class citizen. Without continuing adherence to industry standards, spatial applications and programs simply cannot interoperate with other enterprise system components.” Geospatial Solutions Magazine, June 2005

NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Know the Earth…Show the Way UNCLASSIFIED 16 National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG) Geospatial Core Metadata Profile (NGCMP ) The purpose of this geospatial profile is to establish and define a systematic approach to managing, organizing, and disseminating standards to the development population. This document also establishes and maintains agreement between the customer and the project team on changing standards. Levels of NSG Geospatial Metadata - Various metadata profiling and harmonization efforts are being undertaken across the NSG community, among them the influence of current ISO standards development work to support NSG metadata requirements. To achieve this, metadata is developed at several different levels, and the GWG Metadata Focus Group (MFG) has developed recommended core metadata sets for each of these levels for use in the NSG community.
