The NSDI advances a future driven by place-based information services.
Our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental future depends on the sound use of resources. The NSDI’s connective framework, provided by the NSDI Strategic Plan, implements a collaborative, community-based model for sharing knowledge, data, technologies, and standards that benefit our Nation. This aligns investments, coordinates acquisitions, shares tools, and drives innovation to support decision-making. In turn, this increases opportunities to fuel economic growth and advantages for the United States.

Our Nation and the global community are generating and integrating a variety of place-based information at a phenomenal rate. Place-based data and information is growing as a national asset with unlimited potential for societal use.
Society is interconnected and interdependent. Local to global activities, events, and decisions affect us all and bring new opportunities and challenges. The components of the NSDI enable people to work together as communities, sharing place-based information and tools to understand, prepare for, and respond to challenges and seize opportunities. This is how the U.S. National Spatial Data Infrastructure advances the nation's geospatial capabilities.
