*__BS 7666___ specifies the manner in which address information should be specified, and is important within Local Government and the Utilities. Archaeologically, it may prove most useful in the consistent provision of address information, for example for Listed Buildings.
*__FGDC___ the United States Federal Geographic Data Committee's Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata is, perhaps, the best known and established of geospatial data standards, the current version having been first released in 1994, and updated in 1998. This standard underpins much of the US Federal Government's work with geospatial data, and is also used by other collectors of spatial data. The standard was recently enhanced, and is available in a variety of commonly used formats.
*__ISO 15046___ is a draft standard from the International Standards Organisation Technical Committee TC/211 that addresses geographic information and geomatics. The draft standard appears modelled upon current FGDC practice, and offers powerful options for extensibility and modification within the wider standards framework.
*__OGIS___ (Open Geodata Interoperability Specification) is an initiative by the vendor-led Open GIS Consortium (OGC). OGC is looking to increase the ease with which geospatial information may be passed between products, and OGIS is one important aspect of this work.
*The ___National Geospatial Data Framework (NGDF)___ was an important co-operative initiative aiming to provide effective means of access to geospatial data that is collected and held by government and the public and private sectors. It will be replaced by the ___GiGateway___ (see below).

There are a number of metadata initiatives within the UK geospatial community. The most relevant of these is probably ___UK GEMINI___ (GEo-spatial Metadata INteroperability Initiative) launched in 2004 following a collaboration between the [Association for Geographic Information|http://www.agi.org.uk/] (AGI) and the [Cabinet Office e-Government Unit|http://e-government.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/Home/Homepage/fs/en], with additional representation from national and local government and the academic community. Adherence to the UK GEMINI profile, which will replace the Gigateway Discovery Metadata Specifications (the NGDF Standard) as the UK's national geospatial metadata profile, allows for the creation of discovery metadata with both ISO 19115 (Geographic Information –Metadata) and the national e-Government Metadata Standard (eGMS), ensuring compliance with both. Adopting UK GEMINI will also simplify the process of [publishing metadata|http://www.gigateway.org.uk/] via Gigateway's Data Locator.
