The Federal Geographic Information Center (FGIC) announced the launch of the National Geospatial Features Catalogue, which will contribute to the creation of a strategic data guide to facilitate the exchange of geographic information at a national level between federal and local government entities on one side and the private sector on the other. The National Catalogue seeks to provide the authorities with a unified national model for geographical information for all entities operating in the sector, through which the exchange and integration of geographical information at the national level are facilitated, and unified codes are provided for all geographical features in the UAE. This is achieved through a spatial database of geographical information related to more than 260geographical features.
