NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 7074, Digital Geographic Information Exchange Standard (DIGEST), is a military standard for the exchange of geographic information. It was developed by the Defence Geospatial Information Working Group (DGIWG).

The standard is related to a number of other international standards. DGIWG continues to work on interoperability standards for geographic data exchange between various military systems and geographic information systems in general.^{[citation needed]}

After revision 2.1 of DIGEST, released in September 2000, the DGIWG discontinued work on the standard and is focusing on incorporating its standards as profiles in ISO/TC 211.^[1]
