Geographic Data Committee (GDC)

The Geographic Data Committee (GDC) is a group responsible for overseeing the management and quality of geographic information within an organization or region. They establish standards, policies, and best practices to ensure that maps, spatial data, and location-based information are accurate, consistent, and reliable. This helps different departments or entities share and use geographic data effectively for planning, analysis, and decision-making. In essence, the GDC ensures that everyone working with geographic information does so using common methods and high-quality data, facilitating better coordination and understanding of spatial information.
