deprecated Federal Geographic Data Committee: Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata

Abbreviation: FGDC CSDGM


General Information
This record was deprecated on Sept. 25, 2018 for the following reason(s): This resource has been deprecated by the FGDC in favor of ISO Geospatial Metadata Standards.

Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM), Vers. 2 (FGDC-STD-001-1998) is the current version of this FGDC authored and endorsed standard. The objectives of the standard are to provide a common set of terminology and definitions for the documentation of digital geospatial data. The standard establishes the names of data elements and compound elements (groups of data elements) to be used for these purposes, the definitions of these compound elements and data elements, and information about the values that are to be provided for the data elements. This standard is intended to support the collection and processing of geospatial metadata. It is intended to be usable by all levels of government and the private sector. This record also references three CSDGM extensions: the Extensions for Remote Sensing Metadata, the Biological Data Profile, and the Metadata Profile for Shoreline Data. Executive Order 12906 directed that Federal agencies document geospatial resources using this standard. Since the publication of EO 12906, the FGDC has endorsed several ISO Geospatial Metadata Standards that are now encouraged for use.

DataONE
DataONE is a community driven project providing access to data across multiple member repositories, supporting enhanced search and discovery of Earth and environmental data.
Research Data Archive at NCAR
The Research Data Archive (RDA) at NCAR contains a large and diverse collection of meteorological and oceanographic observations, operational and reanalysis model outputs, and remote sensing datasets to support atmospheric and geosciences research.
Forest Service Research Data Archive
A repository of published research data related to forest and grassland ecosystems. Primarily holds data sets created with U.S. Forest Service funding. Data sets are reviewed prior to publication, particularly their metadata; metadata are currently written to the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata - Biological Data Profile.
NSF Arctic Data Center
The Arctic Data Center is the primary data and software repository for the Arctic section of NSF Polar Programs. The Center helps the research community to reproducibly preserve and discover all products of NSF-funded research in the Arctic, including data, metadata, software, documents, and provenance that links these together. The repository is open to contributions from NSF Arctic investigators, and data are released under an open license (CC-BY, CC0, depending on the choice of the contributor). All science, engineering, and education research supported by the NSF Arctic research program are included, such as Natural Sciences (Geoscience, Earth Science, Oceanography, Ecology, Atmospheric Science, Biology, etc.) and Social Sciences (Archeology, Anthropology, Social Science, etc.).
NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center
The Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) is a regular member of the World Data System and focuses on human interactions in the environment. Its mission is to develop and operate applications that support the integration of socioeconomic and Earth science data and to serve as an "Information Gateway" between the Earth and social sciences. The SEDAC is one of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) that archive and distribute earth science data, managed by NASA's Earth Science Data and Information System Project (ESDIS), as part of the Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) Program.
