etc.

Surveying Law

（purpose）Article 1. The purpose of this Law is to effect

coordination and standardization of surveying,

where public funds or the use of public

GIS Space-based PNT Positioning, Navigation and Timing

Backgrounds of NSDI Act

In Japan, Space-based PNT

is based on

the United States’ GPS

Link

12

The possibility of coordination between

GIS and Space-based PNT has been increasing

since the national datum changed

from Tokyo Datum to ITRF94/GRS80 in 2002

Fundamental Geospacial Data

What is FGD?

•FGD is the Digital Positional Information which

provide Positional Reference to Geospatial

Information on Digital Maps.

(Article 2 of NSDI Act)

•FGD consists of Positional Information of Control

Points, Coastlines, Administrative Boundaries,

Road Edges etc. acquired by Public Surveys. (Ordinance of MLIT No. 78)

19

In accordance with The Public Notice of MLIT No. 1144 (“Technical standards for the development of FGD”), FGD must comply with the following ISO standards when it’s provided to the public.

➢ JIS X7107（Spatial Schema） ←ISO19107:2003
