5. The USGS node of the National
Geospatial Data Clearinghouse is a component of the National Spatial
Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The Clearinghouse provides a pathway to find
information about geospatial or spatially referenced data available from
USGS. The information is in the form of metadata which describe the
content, quality, condition, and other characteristics of data. This site is
maintained by the USGS in cooperation with the U.S. Federal Geographic Data
Committee (FGDC). The Geospatial Data Clearinghouse is a collection of over
250 spatial data servers, that have digital geographic data primarily for use
in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), image processing systems, and other
modeling software.
