2 Data transfer and storage
In my point of view this group is the most important for the future GIS.
Spatial Data Transfer Formats
The standardization of spatial data transfer formats is intended to provide efficient interchange of data between users.
Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) A comprehensive transfer standard for Earth-referenced data which may be used to transfer all types of spatial data between dissimilar computer systems.
MapInfo Data Transfer Files or MIF/MID: A transfer system used by MapInfo that carries three types of information: geographic, attribute, and display.
DATA TRANSFER
The movement of data from one computer system or software to another. It often requires a change of DATA FORMAT.
Data Transfer
Data Transfer*WCDMA 2100 (HSDPA) with simultaneous voice and packet data (PS max speed UL/DL= 384/3.6MB, CS max speed 64kbps)
Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) support for simultaneous voice and packet data connection in GSM/EDGE networks.
Data transfer standard - See Data exchange standard.
Data translator - A program that converts data from one proprietary format to another. See also Data exchange standard.
[data transfer] In communications, the number of electrical cycles, or signals, transmitted per second. At lower transfer speeds the baud rate equals the data transfer rate measured in bps, or bits per second.
The data transfer traffic and the network bandwidth can be used to estimate minimum network transport times for a single map display transaction. A typical GIS application requires up to 1 MB of data to generate a new map display.

The Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) is a file format the USGS uses for distributing geospatial data. The file format is complicated and generally handled well only by advanced software.

Ousterhout, J.K. 1994. Tcl and the Tk Toolkit, Addison-Wesley.
Acronym for Spatial Data Transfer Standard for transferring data between multiple geographic data management systems.
SDTS/TVPSpatial Data Transfer Standard/Topological Vector Profile. A United States Federal standard designed to support the transfer of different types of geographic and cartographic spatial data.
SDTS Spatial Data Transfer Standard. A standard vector format developed by the US Federal Geographic Data Committee.
(For instance, data transfer rates and physical characteristics of connections vary widely.) The Internet exhibits "emergent phenomena" that depend on its large-scale organization. For example, data transfer rates exhibit temporal self-similarity.

Becaus e of the increased use of GIS technology, a new national Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) has been established.
A common alternative--this appears to be where the USGS has been going for several years--is the SDTS (Spatial Data Transfer Standard) format.

Data transfer through the serial port requires that the standard parameters or protocol be set. When job and area files are transferred, they are copied but not erased. The original file remains in the device and serves as a backup for the project.
One format may be excellent for CAD data transfer, but very limited if you need to get data into a GIS or mapping database. When creating vector data, it is always better to use the native format the target system supports.
The spatial data usually contain Arc/INFO export format (.e00 files), ArcView Shape files, AutoCAD DWF files, and SDTS (Spatial Data Transfer Standard), etc.

It is the de facto plain-vanilla standard for data transfer between different applications. However, at this point the USGS has converted most of its data to different formats (see below).
FIPS 173 is the precursor to the SDTS (Spatial Data Transfer Standard), which includes standardized definitions for a variety of digital mapping terms, addressing federal requirements for accuracy. FIPS provides a U. S.
