NSDI | The NSDI Connected Vision
Our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental future depends on the sound use of resources. The NSDI’s connective framework, provided by the NSDI Strategic Plan, implements a collaborative, community-based model for sharing knowledge, data, technologies, and standards that benefit our Nation. This aligns investments, coordinates acquisitions, shares tools, and drives innovation to support decision-making. In turn, this increases opportunities to fuel economic growth and advantages for the United States.
Place-based information is stimulating a local to global trillion-dollar industry, bringing new jobs, transforming organizations, and spurring market competition. Our Nation is a global leader in the creation and dissemination of place-based assets and information. Using spatial data, tools, and models to understand our ever-evolving world provides a worldwide recognized value.
The NSDI advances a future driven by place-based information services.
