In the late 1980s, many U.S. organizations including various governments, the academic community and the private sector came together to encourage common practices and uniform standards in digital geographic data collection, processing, archiving and sharing. The resulting National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) encompasses policies, standards and procedures for organizations to produce and share georeferenced information cooperatively.
