List of National Geospatial Data Assets (NGDAs) Portfolio Datasets As Endorsed by the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC)

An National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) is defined as a geospatial dataset that has been designated by the FGDC Steering Committee and meets at least one of the following criteria: used by multiple agencies or with agency partners such as State, Tribal and local governments; applied to achieve Presidential priorities as expressed by OMB; required to meet shared mission goals of multiple Federal agencies; or expressly required by statutory mandate. Together, these datasets comprise the NGDA Portfolio. This metadata points to a spreadsheet that contains the official list of NGDA with a link to specific NGDA metadata maintained by the dataset owners on Data.gov, GeoPlatform.gov, a link to their associated NGDA Theme, and the agency responsible for the NGDA.
