NWRC Spatial Data and Metadata Server


This site contains geospatially referenced data, much of which is biological in nature, and other information. The Spatial Data and Metadata Server (SDMS) represents NWRC's commitment to data accessibility through compliance and cooperation with the National Information Infrastructure (NII) which includes both the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII). Resources on this site relate to the requirements of Executive Order 12906, for participation in the NSDI and the requirements of USGS Biological Resource Division regarding the NBII. Both directives require NWRC to document existing and newly developed data using specific content standards for metadata, and require that these metadata be electronically accessible.
