Metadata Clearinghouse: Why this is important

Problem with data portal:•Data can be edited, republished by different agency•Tendency to republish data without updating metadata•Lack of “branding”, confusion over data origin & history

Metadata clearinghouse stores metadata:•Data contributors can host own data•Metadata is current

Geographic Profile: Search multiple spatial datasets to find detailed

geographic information from just one piece of data

• I know the Township/Range -- what is the county?• I know the coordinate – what quad is it in?

You need to know ONE of the following:• County

• Quad

• City

• Township/Range/Section

• United States National Grid (USNG)

• Coordinates: Lat-Lon, Decimal Degrees, State Plane, Albers, UTM

• Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)
