Abstract:

The U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is tasked by Executive Order 12906 to develop procedures and assist in the implementation of a distributed discovery mechanism for digital geospatial data. Using the data elements defined in the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata, governmental, non-profit, and commercial participants worldwide can make their collections of spatial information searchable and accessible on the Internet using free reference implementation software developed by the FGDC. The clearinghouse is comprised of a system of software and institutions to facilitate the discovery, evaluation, and downloading of digital geospatial data.
