MyGDI Data Categories
Geodata refers to a well defined fundamental geospatial data categories set up mutually among participating stakeholders. It s represented by customary data categories that users require, as well as environment to support the development and usage of this data on which agencies can create by overlaying their own information and thematic data with framework dataset. Through the mutual conception several government agencies or geospatial industry groups can define reliable data categories to accomplish their common objectives.
