Abstract
Some of the key components of any Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure
(PDSI) are the data products that end-users wish to discover, access,
and interrogate. One precursor to the implementation of a PSDI is a
knowledge inventory which catalogs what products are available, from
which data producers, and at what initially understood data qualities.
We present a knowledge inventory of foundational PSDI data products:
geodetic coordinate reference frames, elevation or topography, and
orthoimages or orthomosaics. Additionally, we catalog the available
gravity models that serve as critical datums for the assessment of
spatial location, spatial accuracy, and ultimately spatial efficacy. We
strengthen our previously published definitions of foundational data
products to assist in solidifying a common vocabulary that will improve
communication about these essential data products.
