It also supports the concept of a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) which help agencies work with authoritative and reliable spatial information and reducing duplication of data.
This short video provides a simple introduction to NSDI, its history, purpose, members and data contributors, as well as how the platform can be used to explore Bhutan’s geospatial information.
