Description:In the 1993 National Research Council (NRC) report, Toward a Coordinated Spatial Data Infrastructure for the Nation (1), it was exemplified that geodetic control is required to systematically register all spatial information to allow their integration into Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Such GIS systems have application in wetlands delineation, mineral assessment, renewable resource management, public health, urban and regional planning, disaster response and recovery, and national defense, among others. Geodetic data, the product of geodetic control, are essential to the development of GIS and serve as one of the primary components of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The importance or value of these data to the Nation's geospatial data users has been acknowledged by various levels of government, the private surveying community, and the courts.
