  • What is MS1759?

    MS1759 is a method of encoding features and attributes that facilitates geospatial information structuring. Efficient and systematic sharing requires structured and uniform storage of geospatial information.

    • For example: Feature Code TA0060 refers to the ROAD feature. The agencies that want to share are required to use the same feature code TA0060 as a reference for the ROAD feature.

  • What is MyGDI Explorer?

    MyGDI Explorer is an application that provides a catalog of National geospatial information. This application enables users to search, view, review, share and manage geospatial information metadata

  • What Is MyGDI?

    Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) is an initiative by the government to develop a geospatial data infrastructure to enhance the awareness about data availability and improve access to geospatial information. This can be fulfilled by facilitating data sharing among participating agencies. MyGDI as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) for Malaysia, is a national infrastructure comprises of person, policy, standard, geospatial information and technology established by MyGDI Circular Letter No. 1 of 2006 - Guidelines for the Implementation of Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) for the purpose of facilitating the sharing and dissemination of geospatial information amongst government agencies, private sector and the general publics. Through this infrastructure, smart partnership among agencies is continuously being developed to produce and share geospatial information thus providing customer-focused, cost effective and timely delivery of geospatial data.

  • What is MyGeo Data Services?

  • What is NSDI?

    National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) defined as the technologies, policies and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government

  • What is Public Sector Geospatial Buletin?

    • The Public Sector Geospatial Bulletin or its acronym BGSA is a bulletin published by the National Geospatial Centre (PGN), Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.
    • BGSA is an annual event-related publication under the National Geospatial Data Infrastructure Program (MyGDI).

  • What is the Geographic Names Database (PDNG), National Gazetteer and MyGeoName?

    • Geographic Names Database (PDNG) is a database that stores geographic names, locations, histories and names that have been verified in a consistent format for government and public use. Gazetir, on the other hand, is an index that lists the geographical names found in the PDG.
    • The entire database is made available to users online through the MyGeoName Application. Users can also download gazetteers through the MyGeoName application.
