2. Purpose and Agenda
• Defense Installations Spatial Data Infrastructure Group –
DISDI Group (DISDI-G)
• DISDI-G: the Community of Interest
• Governance and policy
• DISDI-G working groups
• DISDI-G net-centric goals – implementation projects

3. The DISDI Group
“The DISDI-G will seek strategies across the RP&ILM core business
mission area for optimizing DoD investments in people, policies, and
practices necessary to acquire, steward, and share installation,
environmental, and range spatial data assets for defense, federal, and
national goals. Once strategies are developed, the DISDI-G will
deliberate and forward proposed actions to the I&E Domain
Governance Board (DGB) for approval.”
“The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will function as a key partner
to the DISDI-G to ensure alignment with the strategic intent of the
National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG).”

9. DoD Business and The Key Drivers for
Spatial Data Requirements
The DoD Global Information Grid has Three Domains:
(1) Warfighter (2) Intelligence (3) Business
The DoD Business Domain has 5 Core Business Mission Areas:
Defense Installations Strategic Plan - VISION: Installation assets and services are
available when and where needed, with the joint capabilities and capacities necessary to
effectively and efficiently support DoD missions. 9

11. Working Groups
• Spatial Data Standard for Facilities Installations
and Environment (SDSFIE) Working Group
• Geospatial Metadata Working Group
• Architecture Working Group
• Imagery Working Group
11

12. SDSFIE Working Group
The SDSFIE Five-Year Vision Statement:
The single spatial
standard that supports
common implementation
and maximizes
• Meet strategic interoperability for FGDC, and
requirements: DISR, BEA, DDMS, ISO,
other DoD standards and models
• Ensure Installation, Environment,
interoperability of adaptations
• Future releases of the SDSFIE will be driven by DoD Business
and Civil Works Missions.
Mission Area Requirements
• Individual content requests and change recommendations will
drive local adaptations and not the SDSFIE Logical Data Model
12

13. SDSFIE Working Group
SDSFIE Guiding Principles
1. SDSFIE will focus on the geospatial representation of features
and maintain a minimum number of attributes. It will link to our
business databases for attribute data and not duplicate attributes
found in business databases.
2. SDSFIE will provide a data model that is scalable from installation
mapping up to Service level and DoD; from local to global
3. If a relevant data content standard already exists, SDSFIE must
incorporate it into the model rather than develop new content.
4. SDSFIE standard development will follow a nationally recognized
development process
5. SDSFIE will reside in the public domain and is vendor neutral
6. The standard will be responsive and built to support the business
needs of data creators and end users
7. SDSFIE is governed and managed by the DISDI Group.

15. Metadata Working Group
• Established to align with DoD Metadata efforts
• Incorporate Defense Discovery Metadata Specification into geospatial
metadata
• Align with mandated DISR standards
• Create and Implement ISO profile for geospatial metadata
• In sync with Federal Geographic Data Committee and NGA
geospatial metadata efforts
• Developed DISDI Geospatial Metadata Profile based on ISO 19115
specification
• Developing Metadata translation tools to help migration from old
metadata standard
15

16. Architecture Working Group
• Address geospatial architecture federation requirements
• Develop high level architecture views (OV-1, SV-1, TV-1,2)
• BEA 5.0 geo-enabled location
• Geo-enable Real Property Unique Identifier Registry
• I&E - Universal Core “Where”
• Authoritative Source for Location – “Where”

20. Geo-Enable Location in BEA 5.0
• Problem:
– DISR mandates the use of ISO standards for geospatial systems.
– Current BEA products do not incorporate ISO geospatial standards.
– Existing I&E geospatial data standards (i.e. SDSFIE) not included.
• Strategy:
– Update BEA products to align with DISR.
– Implement ISO geospatial meta-model for BEA 5.0 release.
– Align with geospatial standards and architectures as implemented by warfighter,
intelligence domains and RP&ILM.
• Outcome:
– Geo-enables the Real Property Business Process Model.
– Aligns all current efforts for geospatial representation, visualization and analysis of Real
Property assets.
– Ensures business domain geospatial data is aligned with the National System for
Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG) and ISO compliant.
