SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FGDC is a committee of Federal Agencies
engaged in geospatial activities. The
[[Page 61270]]
FGDC Facilities Working Group specifically focuses on geospatial data
issues related to facilities and facility management. A facility is an
entity with location, deliberately established as a site for designated
activities. A facility database might describe a factory, a military
base, a college, a hospital, a power plant, a fishery, a national park,
an office building, a space command center, or a prison. The database
for a complex facility may describe multiple functions or missions,
multiple buildings, or even a county, town, or city. The objectives of
the Working Group are to: promote standards of accuracy and currentness
in facilities data that are financed in whole or in part by Federal
funds; exchange information on technological improvements for
collecting facilities data; encourage the Federal and non-Federal
communities to identify and adopt standards and specifications for
facilities data; and promote the sharing of facilities data among
Federal and non-Federal organizations.
Dated: November 14, 1995.
