AAG (Association of American Geographer): scientific and educational society aims to promote the researches on theory, methods, and practice of geography. ACSM (American Congress on Surveying and Mapping): explores the new technology of GIS, LIS, GPS, etc.. ASPRS (The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing): officially incorporate the tag of "The Imaging and Geospatial Information Society", aims to promote the scientific research on remote sensing. CaGIS (Cartography and Geographic Information Society): serve as the primary focal point in the United States for individuals interested in cartography and geographic information related professions. FGDC (Federal Geographic Data Committee): an interagency committee to promote the coordinated use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data on a national basis. GIS (Geoscience Information Society): aims to facilitate the exchange of information in the geosciences through cooperation among scientists, librarians, editors, cartographers, educators, and information professionals. GITA (Geographic Information Technology Association): aims to provide a variety of information and useful references for professional and technical needs. NCGIA (National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis): an independent research consortium dedicated to basic research and education in geographic information science and its related technologies, including geographic information systems (GIS). NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure): coordinated by FGDC, aims to reduce duplication of effort among agencies, improve quality and reduce costs related to geographic information, to make geographic data more accessible to the public. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration): aims to describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment, and conserve and wisely manage the Nation's coastal and marine resources. OGC (Open GIS Consortium): promotes benefits from geographic information and services made available across any network, application, or platform. Society for conversation GIS: aims to facilitate cooperation and information exchange between individuals who apply geographic information systems (GIS) for the conservation of the world's resources. UCGIS (University Consortium of Geographic Information Science ): a non-profit organization of universities and other research institutions dedicated to advancing our understanding of geographic processes and spatial relationships through improved theory, methods, technology, and data. USGS-GIS: provide introduction on the GIS.
