Without continuing adherence to industry standards, spatial applications and programs simply cannot interoperate with other enterprise system components.” Geospatial Solutions Magazine, June 2005

16. NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY Know the Earth…Show the Way UNCLASSIFIED http://www.gwg.nga.mil 16 National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSG) Geospatial Core Metadata Profile (NGCMP ) The purpose of this geospatial profile is to establish and define a systematic approach to managing, organizing, and disseminating standards to the development population. This document also establishes and maintains agreement between the customer and the project team on changing standards. Levels of NSG Geospatial Metadata - Various metadata profiling and harmonization efforts are being undertaken across the NSG community, among them the influence of current ISO standards development work to support NSG metadata requirements. To achieve this, metadata is developed at several different levels, and the GWG Metadata Focus Group (MFG) has developed recommended core metadata sets for each of these levels for use in the NSG community.
