{{Short description|Encoding scheme for storing geographical data}}
'''Dual Independent Map Encoding''' ('''DIME''') is an [[code|encoding]] scheme developed by the [[United States Census Bureau|US Bureau of the Census]] for efficiently storing [[geography|geographical]] data. The committee behind the case study that eventually resulted in DIME was established in 1965, although the term ''DIME'' itself was first coined by George Farnsworth in August of 1967. The [[file format]] developed for storing the DIME-encoded data was known as [[Geographic Base Files]] (GBF). The Census Bureau replaced the data format with [[Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing]] (TIGER) in 1990.▼
