NPS Metadata Profile
|
| |
The NPS Metadata Profile was developed in FY 2004 to support the NPS-wide interoperability of GIS metadata with natural resource and other data management systems using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The NPS Metadata Profile Document Type Definition (DTD) combines the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM), the FGDC Biological Data Profile, the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM, the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program’s Dataset Catalog, GIS data layer standards tracking, and other NPS-specific, metadata system requirements.
The NPS Metadata Profile is utilized in the National Park Service (NPS) Metadata Database and NPS Data Store for managing GIS and other data for both internal use and publication to the NPS GIS Clearinghouse and NPS Focus Digital Library and Research Station.
Note: All GIS data layers must be documented appropriately with FGDC and NPS metadata standards. The NPS GIS Committee (GISC) requires data layers to be described with FGDC standards and the NPS Metadata Profile.
