NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM(http://www.ngs.noaa.gov) • The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is that component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) -[http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html]which contains all geodetic control contained in the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Data Base. This includes: A, B, First, Second and Third-Order horizontal and vertical control, Geoid models such as GEOID 99, precise GPS orbits and Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), and the National Shoreline as observed by NGS as well as data submitted by other Federal, State, and local agencies, Academic Institutions and the private sector
NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM • ACCURATE-- cm accuracy on a global scale • MULTIPURPOSE-- Supports Geodesy, Geophysics, Land Surveying, Navigation, Mapping, Charting and GIS activities • ACTIVE-- Accessible through Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) and derived products • INTEGRATED-- Related to International services and standards (e.g. International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, International GPS Service etc.)
METADATA • METADATA IS DATA ABOUT DATA • DATUMS • NAD 27, NAD 83(1986), NAD83 (199X), • NGVD29, NAVD88 • UNITS • Meters, U.S. Survey Feet, International Feet, Vara, Toise, Chains, Rods, Poles, Links, Perchs, Smoots ACCURACY • A, B, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3cm, Scaled
