Navigation Data Standard (NDS) is a standardized format for automotive-grade navigation databases, jointly developed by automobile manufacturers and suppliers. NDS is an association registered in Germany. Members are automotive OEMs, map data providers, and navigation device/application providers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Navigation Data Standard )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OpenStreetMap wiki )〕 NDS aims at developing a standardized binary database format that allows the exchange of navigation data between different systems. NDS separates navigation software from navigation data, thus enhancing flexibility for creating various navigation products for end users. In addition to this interoperability, NDS databases support incremental updates, protection against illegal use, and compactness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The NDS Standard )〕 NDS products are available in the market since 2012, among others in BMW,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's first passenger car navigation map loading NDS standard format available )〕 Daimler, and Volkswagen cars. ==Visions and Goals== The vision of NDS is to provide a leading world-wide map standard for automotive-grade use. A “leading standard” means that the map format shall: *Be widely used in the navigation industry and be adopted by leading suppliers of navigation maps *Be interoperable between navigation platforms *Enable up-to-date maps *Be globally applicable *Fulfill specific needs of all regions of the world “Automotive grade” implies that: *The standard is developed and maintained as a cooperative effort by leading OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry. *The standard consistently supports all automotive-specific use cases for map-related data. *The standard supports advanced navigation technologies like eHorizon, autonomous driving, and cloud solutions *The design is validated through large-scale adoption, implementation, and deployment. To realize this vision, NDS pursues the following goals: *Fast implementation of extensions and changes to the NDS standard *Promotion of the NDS standard to increase its adoption in the world-wide automotive market through ease of use and efficient implementation *Securing the freedom to operate the NDS standard *Certification of compliance with the NDS standard To support the adoption of the navigation standard and reach its goals, NDS supports NDS projects (e.g. by providing tools and support), constantly develops the standard technically, and aims at enlarging the association. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Navigation Data Standard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
