The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is a combat support agency of the United States Department of Defense.

NGA provides timely, relevant, and accurate geospatial intelligence in support of USA national security.

Its primary mission is collecting, analyzing, and distributing geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in support of national security. NGA was formerly known as the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). In addition, NGA is a key component of the United States Intelligence Community.

The NGA Commercial Archive Data

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), in partnership with the Civil Applications Committee (CAC), of which NASA is a member, provides access to its immense archive of unclassified commercial high-resolution satellite data to non-DOD government agencies under terms of its NextView contract.

ArchAtlas is a web-orientated archaeological mapping and research project. It is developed at the Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, UK.

The ArchAtlas project aims to provide a visual summary of spatial processes in prehistoric and early historic times, such as the spread of farming, the formation of trade contacts, and the growth of urban systems, and to illustrate the locations of key archaeological sites. It uses GIS techniques to integrate georeferenced information on archaeological sites, cultural entities and contact routes with environmental data and satellite imagery.

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international industry consortium of more than 400 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface standards for geospatial data and services, GIS data processing and data sharing.

OGC® Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services and mainstream IT. The standards empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications.

OGC standards are developed in a unique consensus process supported by the OGC's industry, government and academic members to enable geoprocessing technologies to interoperate, or "plug and play". You will also find the OGC trademark associated with products that implement our standards and that have obtained the Certified OGC Compliant brand. Make sure that your geoprocessing and location services procurement and technology development programs demand OGC standards!

OGC® and OpenGIS® are registered trademarks of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). OGC is the brand name associated with the standards and documents produced by the OGC.
