How does the US Federal standard for GILS (FIPS 192-1) relate to the international standard GILS Profile?
The U.S. Federal Government adopts the GILS Profile through a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). The formally constituted body for maintaining the GILS Profile is the Open Systems Environment Implementors Workshop/ Special Interest Group on GILS (OIW/SIG-GILS). Version 2 is the current approved GILS Profile, and the corresponding FIPS is 192-1. The U.S. Geological Survey is the maintenance agency for FIPS 192-1 as designated by the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
