Helping the U.S. Elevate GeoSpatial Standards


Knowledge Philanthropy

The idea was born in the mid-2000’s as volunteers came together to share their expertise for the betterment of Society.

There is now a long and winding road of engagements that deserve your support and participation, either directly or through funding our superstars. Today, and into the future, GeoSDO is engaging with the community to fulfill the promise within the

Strategic Plan of the United States Government.


JACIE Title Graphic

The Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) workshop is the place where stakeholders meet to share knowledge about innovations in the use of imagery to guide decisions at all levels of government, academia, industry, and missions. As Chair of the INCITS GIS committee, David provided an overview of the current status on international geospatial standards development, as well as methods of engagement with the effort, as part of the Trust, Traceability, and Standards track.
