NPS Building Point and Polygon Data Transfer Standards v2

Steward, See Data

An accurate representation of all current and former buildings that are of interest to the NPS is required by many program areas, including but not limited to Facilities, Structural Fire, Homeland Security, and Cultural/Natural Resource Management. Building information is also needed by NPS personnel, cooperators, and the public for map display and analysis. This dataset is intended to be a comprehensive inventory of all buildings of interest to the NPS. Data transfer standards for NPS building points and polygons provide feature geometry and is intended to be supplemented with attributes maintained by other external database systems. GIS DATA TRANSFER STANDARD: This is a proposed revision of an adopted NPS GIS data transfer standard. These standards are sponsored by the NPS GIS Committee in cooperation with the Resources Information Management Division (RIMD). The principal data steward shall be the RIMD through the coordinated contributions and stewardship of many parks and programs.
