NITFS Register
General Information
SCOPE This page contains information about the registration process and configuration management.
APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS Documents can be obtained through the NITF Register Library.
REGISTRATION TRE's, DES's, and Field Values must be registered with the Geospatial Intelligence Standards Working Group (GWG) NITFS Technical Board (NTB) before use within NITF files.
Registrar The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is the designated registrar. The NITFS Technical Board (NTB) is the designated Focus Group (FG) for approval of all NITF registration items including TRE, DES, and Field Value activities. The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) serves as the executive agent to NGA for oversight of registration activities and maintenance of the register. Contact us for registration questions.
Developmental Procedure:
- Submit to NTB for approval/registration if experimental/under development.
- If final form, submit for approval/technical review.
- Be prepared to have implementation lifecycle, maintenance guidance documented, and suggested test/implementation criteria available.
- Upon approval by NTB, register on JITC website along with copies of documentation.
Registration Submissions Must Contain:
(Note: Before using on-line submission, implementers and acquiring agencies should contact the NTB registrar to identify the current issues regarding the tagged record extensions and associated documentation applicable to their specific requirements.)
- Identification of the submitting organization and point of contact for the submission.
- Identification of the preparing organization and point of contact for the preparing activity.
- Purpose and general description of the proposed tag(s).
- Rationale and justification for including the submission within the NITFS.
- Copy of the documentation defining the tagged record extension to be registered.
- For RE only, analysis and rationale describing how use of the proposed RE will not adversely impact community use of the standardized features defined within the NITFS.
CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT: The NGA registrar exercises configuration management control of the register. The register identifies the approved issue(s) and version(s) of tagged record extensions and associated specifications and documentation allowed for use within NITFS. Although another agency may be the proponent, author, and/or configuration manager of tagged record extension specifications and documentation, only those issue(s) and version(s) identified and authorized in the register managed by NGA are allowed for use within NITFS.
TWO-YEAR REGISTRATION PERIOD OF 'RE': Nominated RE will be recorded in the 'Register' upon approval by the NTB. At that time, an RE expiration date (typically two years from registration) will be established by the NTB and recorded. An RE(s) proponent may submit a request for registration renewal to the NTB, or a request for the RE(s) to become "Controlled," prior to expiration of the tag's registration. Otherwise, the RE(s) will be marked as "expired" in the Register.
