National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

The technologies, policies and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community. The goal is to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public, to increase the benefits of using available data, and to establish key partnerships with states, counties, cities, tribal nations, academia and the private sector to increase data availability.

Normalization

A conceptual database design task that involves applying data dependency to a data model to avoid data inconsistencies by prohibiting redundancy.

       -

North American Datum

an adjustment of geodetic measurements that provides the horizontal reference for North America. The 1927 Datum held Mead's Ranch, Kansas as a fixed point, while the 1983 Datum performed a simultaneous adjustment of all measurements. 1927 uses the Clarke's ellipsoid, while 1983 uses the 1980 Geodetic Reference System. The plural of a geodetic datum is 'datums', despite the Latin origins.

Network framework

      -

National grid

a spatial reference system usually adopted by legal or administrative procedures for use through a given country. Typically consists of a projection or a system of projection zones plus a geodetic datum and ellipsoid.
