NDS is an association registered in Germany. Members are automotive [[Original equipment manufacturer\|OEMs]], [[geographic information system\|map data]] providers, and [[navigation system\|navigation device]]/application providers.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.nds-association.org/\|title=Navigation Data Standard\|accessdate=2015-02-13\|publisher=NDS e.V.\|archive-date=2021-03-08\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308142150/https://nds-association.org/\|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Navigation_Data_Standard\|title=OpenStreetMap wiki\|accessdate=2015-02-13\|publisher=OpenStreetMap\|archive-date=2015-04-02\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402161828/http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Navigation_Data_Standard\|url-status=live}}</ref> NDS aims to develop a standardized binary database format that allows the [[data exchange\|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 [[Map database management#Incremental update\|incremental updates]], protection against illegal use, and compactness.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.nds-association.org/#thestandard\|title=The NDS Standard\|accessdate=2018-02-15\|publisher=NDS e.V.~~\|deadurl=~~\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213203530/http://www.nds-association.org/the-nds-standard/\|archivedate=2015-02-13~~\|df=~~}}</ref> NDS products have been available in the market since 2012, among others in [[BMW]],<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://wmiue.blogspot.de/2012/10/the-worlds-first-passenger-car.html\|title=The world's first passenger car navigation map loading NDS standard format available\|accessdate=2015-02-13\|publisher=wmiue.blogspot.de\|archive-date=2015-02-13\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213184709/http://wmiue.blogspot.de/2012/10/the-worlds-first-passenger-car.html\|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Daimler AG\|Daimler]], and [[Volkswagen]] cars. ==~~Objectives~~Objective== The vision of NDS is to provide a leading worldwide map [[Technical standard\|standard]] for automotive-grade use. A ~~“leading~~"leading ~~standard”~~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~~fulfil 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 worldwide automotive market through ease of use and efficient implementation * securing the [[freedom to operate]] the NDS standard Line 59 ⟶ 60: ===Update region=== An update region represents a geographic area in a database that can be subject to an update. Update regions thus enable incremental and partial updating of defined geographic regions within an NDS database. Example: Each European country within the product ~~“Europe~~"Europe basic ~~navigation”~~navigation" may be presented by a separate update region. ===Building block=== [[File:~~Overview_buildingblocks~~Overview buildingblocks-nds-with-HAD.jpg\|thumb\|NDS building blocks]] All navigation data in an NDS database belongs to a specific building block. Each building block addresses specific functional aspects of navigation, such as names for ___location input, routing, or map display. To cover specific use cases, navigation systems and applications may be required to filter and aggregate data from different building blocks, e.g. from both Routing and Map Display in order to calculate a route and show it to the user. Each update region may contain data from multiple building blocks. Within a product database, which has several update regions, there may thus be several instances of the same building block. Example: In a Europe product database, there may be a Basic Map Display building block in the update region ~~“France”~~"France" and a Basic Map Display building block in the update region ~~“Germany”~~"Germany". ==Tooling and documentation== The NDS standard is documented regarding database structures, interoperability requirements, and update processes.
