National Archives and Records Administration has a transfer guidance for the transfer of geospatial data. It promotes the transfer of open formats, including Spatial Data Transfer Standard, GML v. 3, and military standards.

In practice, NARA takes in Shape files from agencies to capture simple databases. We also have taken in military standards for imagery.
