National Spatial Data Framework

The National Spatial Data Framework (NSDF) is a structured approach that helps organize and manage geographic information across a country. It ensures that data about land, resources, and infrastructure is collected, stored, and shared effectively. By standardizing how spatial data is handled, the NSDF supports better decision-making in areas like urban planning, environmental management, and disaster response. Essentially, it acts as a blueprint for creating and maintaining a comprehensive database of geographic information, facilitating collaboration among government agencies, researchers, and the public.
