This paper considers the plan of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) presented in Executive Order 12906 by the President of the United States of America, William J. Clinton. The purpose of NSDI is to avoid wasteful duplication of effort and promote effective and economical management of spatial data by Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. This paper, in particular, describes two components of the NSDI, National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse and Spatial Data Standard Activity.
