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) (see footer)
