The FGDC Standards Working Group (WG) updates on its responsibilities and recent activities, focusing on the review and endorsement of national geospatial data asset standards, including the revised digital orthoimagery standard. Recent discussions included updates on various geospatial standards and the next meeting is scheduled for late September 2015, where several topics related to standards implementation will be addressed. The coordination group actions included approvals for the revised standards and a review of agency participation in related organizations.
FGDC Standards WG update

- 4. 4 FGDC Standards Activities Part 2, Digital orthoimagery (revised) of the Geographic Information Framework Data Content Standard supports exchange of orthoimagery data. It provides a base on which to collect, register, and integrate digital orthoimagery data accurately. Part 2 specifies data content and logical structure for description and interchange of digital orthoimagery; provides guidelines for acquisition and processing of imagery; specifies documentation of those acquisition and processing steps; focuses on images sensed in the visible to near infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum; stresses complete and accurate reporting of information relating to quality control and standards employed in testing orthoimagery data; and includes a data dictionary based on its conceptual schema. This revision primarily replaces analog camera references with digital sensors and recognizes satellite technology for digital orthoimagery production. This standard was revised with support from members of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS).
