• Description:
  This document contains a specification of the Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS), that will serve as a national spatial data transfer mechanism for the United States. As such it is designed to transfer a wide variety of data structures that are used in the spatial sciences. These sciences include cartography, geography, geology, geographic information systems and many other neighboring sciences.
  
  SDTS consists of three primary parts: the first is the SDTS logical
  
  superstructure that presents the organization and structure of the SDTS transfer mechanism; the second presents the definition of spatial features and attributes; and the third part presents the ISO 8211 data transfer implementation (i.e., encoding method).
