It was born out of the recognition that several of the regions prominent resource management agencies have similar, if not shared, requirements for GIS data.
Some of the underlying goals of the GIS Library are to:
1) make sure folks know what’s available in terms of geospatial data and resources that could contribute to their decision support toolkits;
2) enhance access to regional data resources, particularly data funded by public monies and data of regional significance;
3)make sure that the data hosted at the GIS Library meets basic distribution standards so as to alleviate complexity for the end user; and
4) work with resource managers to identify shared geospatial requirements and develop resources that have regional application.

Slides 7 through 13 are a stepwise demonstration of how users would go about querying the GIS Library for data of interest, getting a quick introduction to any data that might be of interest, and downloading that data for immediate use. In other words, accessing a common operating picture used by others in the resource mgmt community.
3
Search the data and map services that are either distributed by the GIS Library or are partner datasets.
4
From our Library website, you can search by keyword, advanced search or by browsing. The presentation will show an example of all three types of searching.
5
Search the Geoportal by keyword. Enter a search term in the box. By theme, organization, area.
6
Clicking the Additional Options menu will allow users to further filter results.

ISO 19139: Geographic information ‐‐Metadata ‐‐ XML schema implementation: An XML document that specifies the format and general content of an ISO 19115 the metadata record. Expected to be updated to ISO 19115‐1: Geographic Information – Metadata – Part 1: Fundamentals once approved by ISO.
ISO 19115:2003 Geographic information – Metadata (corrigendum 1): The base ISO metadata standard for the description of geographic information and services. Expected to be replaced by ISO 19115‐1: Geographic Information – Metadata – Part 1: Fundamentals once approved by ISO (currently a Draft International Standard, anticipated to be an International Standard in May 2013). ISO 19115 – 2: Geographic information ‐Metadata ‐ Part 2: Extensions for imagery and gridded data The base ISO 19115 metadata standard plus extended elements for the description of imagery, gridded data and data collected using instruments, e.g. monitoring stations and measurement devices. These extensions also include improved descriptions of lineage and processing information. ISO 19115‐2 is expected to be updated to comply with ISO 19115‐1 once the final standard is released. North American Profile (NAP) of ISO 19115: A US and Canada joint profile of ISO 19115:2003 that extends some domains, increases conditionality for some elements, and specifies best practices for populating most elements.

The best help topic for locating FGDC metadata is the Illustrated guide to complete FGDC metadata. Search for “illustrated metadata.” Use “Find” or Cntl‐F to located specific FGDC element numbers.

In ArcCatalog, the metadata tools can be found in ArcCatalog under Conversion Tools>Metadata or on the Description Tab of the dataset.

If you see that metadata elements are missing or if you created your metadata in 9.3.1 or earlier, you may need to scroll to the bottom of the Description tab to view your FGDC metadata.

It was born out of the recognition that several of the regions prominent resource management agencies have similar, if not shared, requirements for GIS data.
Originating at the Forest Service in 2001, the GIS Library now includes 8 partner agencies and is jointly funded and managed by representatives from each of these agencies.
The committee was expanded in 2008 and again in 2011, to reflect the dominant source of the data contributions available to thelibrary and skill sets needed to support its continued development.
