Agenda

PowerPoint presentation

The FGDC Standards WG recommends that the proposal to create a database containing records for standards from the ISO 19100 series of geographic information standards and normative references be referred to the ISO/TC 211 Programme Management Group.  This proposal will be included as an agenda item for the February 2009 meeting of INCITS L1/U.S. TAG.

  • final draft Wetlands Mapping Standard, presented by Margarete Heber (EPA) and Bill Wilen (Fish and Wildlife Service)

The FGDC Standards WG recommends that the FGDC Coordination Group approve the FGDC Wetlands Mapping Standard for FGDC endorsement.  Vote on approval will be put on the agenda of the February 2009 meeting of the FGDC Coordination Group.

  • country codes proposal presented by Rick Pearsall (NGA)

    • NIST issued a notice dated 2008-09-02 that ten FIPS standards were withdrawn, among them FIPS 10-4, which documents two-letter country codes. The proposal is for the Federal government to adopt 3-letter country codes, as specified by ISO 3166. Three-letter country codes allow for reserved codes to extend the set. The FGDC Standards Working Group recommends to the FGDC Coordination Group that agencies inventory existing data assets for the use of country codes to devise a transition plan to 3-letter country codes. In addition to referring this proposal up the FGDC chain to the FGDC Steering Committee, this proposal should also be referred to the CIO Council.
