UNSDI-T V2.0
UN Spatial Data Infrastructure for Transport - Version 2.0
UNJLC was mandated by the UN Geographic Information Working Group and
its inter-agency steering committee to act as custodian of logistics
and transport data standards. To this end it has designed, implemented
and maintains a package made of a database schema, an associated set of
data collection forms and a global database for storing and serving
logistics data. This package was first released in September 2007
(version 1.2). The UNJLC GIS unit is releasing the version 2.0 of the
UN Spatial Data Infrastructure for Transport database schema (UNSDIT
v2.0) building on half a year of user feedbacks and UNJLC operational
lessons learned. Many thanks to all who have contributed their comments.

The aim of the UNSDIT was to create a database structure with sufficient scope to accommodate for the generation of “a la carte” UNSDIT-compliant spatial databases and assessment forms. The “Light” version represents one such subset, but not the only possible selection of the attributes available in the “Comprehensive” version.
The UNSDIT version 2.0 release encompasses both “Light” and “Comprehensive” UNSDIT packages, each with the following elements:

- A set of assessment forms for the Light UNSDIT package only.
