FGDC endorses 64 external standards 
The FGDC Steering Committee has officially endorsed 64 non-Federally authored 
standards that play an important role in enabling geospatial interoperability.  
The standards include standards from Open Geospatial Consortium; ISO Technical 
Committee 211, Geographic information/Geomatics; the American National Standards 
Institute (through International Committee for Information Technology Standards 
Technical Committee L1, Geographic information systems) and de facto standards.
The FGDC Steering endorsed these standards in accordance with the FGDC Policy on 
Recognition of Non-Federally Authored Geographic Information Standards and 
Specifications 
[ http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/Non-FGDC_StandardsSpecs_Policy.pdf
 ].  This was the first time this policy was exercised.  The standards were 
identified and reviewed by the FGDC Standards WG (SWG), reviewed and voted upon 
by the FGDC Coordination Group (CG), and then endorsed by the FGDC Steering 
Committee. 

For a list of the endorsed standards, please visit FGDC Endorsed External 
Standards page on the FGDC website:
