Overview What is metadata and what are the different standards? |
CIESIN's Guide to FGDC Compliant Metadata This Guide is intended to assist in the creation of metadata records using the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (FGDC-STD-001-1998). Its focus is on providing definitions and examples for all the elements in the standard. The appendices include an example template that illustrates record format, some sample metadata records, and tips on writing abstracts. |
Keywords The “CIESIN Indexing Vocabulary,” developed by CIESIN specifically for CIESIN projects, is a controlled vocabulary for socioeconomic and environmental parameters or indicators. It also includes a controlled vocabulary for location indexing terms. |
