FGDCMETA - Illinois State Geological Survey Metadata Program

Rob Krumm

The Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS), in cooperation with other offices and divisions of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), has implemented a National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse Node dedicated to serving digital geospatial information about Illinois natural resources. The node contains metadata and GIS data for geological, hydrological, natural resource, historical, administrative, and infrastructural issues. The Illinois Clearinghouse Node project of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) is a multiagency effort to make metadata and digital geospatial data about Illinois natural resources available on the Internet. The primary objectives are to generate metadata compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM), develop a clearinghouse node to support search and retrieval of the metadata, and offer the results as a model for other organizations in Illinois.
