EXAMPLE metadata record for a FWS geospatial data set with all the elements
required for full compliance with the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial
Metadata (CSDGM), Version 2.0
Metadata elements are described below -- notations on what
should be entered in required fields are enclosed in {parentheses}:
- "Compound" elements (groups of data elements) in regular font appear as
general headings and represent higher-level concepts that cannot be represented
by individual data elements. These elements do not require an entry but are
needed to run the formal metadata through a compiler to check the syntax against
the FGDC CSDGM and generate output suitable for serving on the Internet and
viewing with a web browser or text editor.
- Mandatory elements are in lower case, bold italic
font; these are required elements that must be documented to comply with the
CSDGM.
- Mandatory if Applicable elements are in lower case, bold regular
font; these are required if they are included in a section you are documenting.
- Optional elements are in lower case,
blue regular font; these elements are not required
but can be provided at the data producer's discretion.
- Explanatory notes are in regular italics
.

Habitat Mapping Project used occurrence information and
species/habitat models to map potential habitat for 91 species of primary concern to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. These include migratory birds, anadromous and estuarine fishes, and threatened or endangered
species. The habitat models are based on published
literature. agency reports, and knowledge of experts working with
the species. Environmental data sets, such as substrate, were used
in identifying suitable habitats for certain species. For
details, see the narrative

- 1.2.1 Abstract: {Background information about the data set.}
- Several sources of digital information were combined to map
intertidal and subtidal benthic features such as rock, gravel, sand,
and mud sediments throughout the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Maine.
- 1.2.2 Purpose: {Why did you want the data in the first place?}
- Substrate forms the structure to which invertebrates may attach,

ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800
2 Data Quality Information {This section is Mandatory if Applicable}
- {Just how good is the data? Provide an accurate and concise description of
attributes, the actual lines or topology, the geographic registration, and the original
hard copy data that was automated. NOTE: The report is more descriptive, the assessment
more specific or measurable. Your choice will depend on the type and quality of the data.
Generally, it will not be necessary to do both.}
- 2.1 Attribute Accuracy
- 2.1.1 Attribute Accuracy Report:
- The accuracy of the attributes is determined by the quality of the data sets
used, which may have errors in characterizing substrate types.
- 2.2 Logical Consistency Report: {How well does everything line up? How was it
checked? Provide a general description.}
- This raster data set is based on highly generalized information,
gathered at widely scattered locations.
- 2.3 Completeness Report: {How complete is the cover, i.e., the entire state,
county, etc.? Were portions left out? Size of items mapped?}
- The coverage may omit useful habitat or erroneously identify
habitat because of limitations of the source data.
- 2.4 Positional Accuracy {Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual
comparison of the data with hard copy maps and on-screen with existing data sets that
cover the same area. How accurate is the data in feet or meters? NOTE: Horizontal will be
more common than vertical; enter NA if not applicable or needed.}
- 2.4.1 Horizontal Positional Accuracy
- 2.4.1.1 Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
- Data set accuracy may correspond to that of the 1:24,000 base data used to align
the raster data. Warping of the data sets was used to reduce
maximum error to approximately 1 cell (30 m)
