be responsible for: . Promoting effective, efficient, and compatible land-information systems among governmental levels, in cooperation with the federal government to ensure compatibility on a national basis; · Setting standards for state, regional, and local government surveying, mapping, and land-data collection efforts, making use of federal technical studies; · Providing guidance to those local offices with major responsibilities for land information (namely, recorders, assessors, surveyors, engineers, and planners)

2. It is recommended that the USGS National Mapping Division accelerate the development of digital files of the 7.5 minute mapping series and provide documentation of the current status, cost, and methods and procedures being employed in the development of the National Digital Cartographic Data Base.

3. Speed the creation of the NDCDB by increasing emphasis on work-sharing and cost-sharing programs, developing prototyping, testing and implementing a digital data donor program throughout the public and private sectors, and allocating adequate National Mapping Division resources to information management and user/donor coordination, and, if necessary increasing these relative to traditional data production programs.

4. The FGDC should: · Coordinate identification of the various components of existing framework data through its clearinghouse; · Encourage efforts to integrate those data with the foundation; and · Identify gaps in data coverage and encourage the establishment of programs that include partnerships to populate these framework data themes.

From page 112... ...
8. There are at least nine major steps necessary to realize this extended Framework: · Definition of the contents of the city, county, or local extended Framework; · Definition of the contents of the state or tribal nation extended Framework; · Definition of the extended Framework hardware architecture; · Definition of coordination mechanisms; · Assignments for layer responsibilities; · Definition of quality standards (collection and maintenance)
