Discovering Spatial Data: Use of the Clearinghouse
Abstract
This presentation provides background on the use of FGDC-style metadata for Clearinghouse
Development, and provides managers and users with guidance on the use of the Clearinghouse to find spatial data. A Clearinghouse node minimizes duplication of effort in spatial data collection and processing, provides means to discover data
collection requirements, inventory, and
quality, and supports documentation of basic spatial data sets for advised re-use within
internal and external applications. A rundown of the advantages of using FGDC-compliant metadata is offered, as well as various concerns for implementing metadata.
