GEOSS Clearinghouse | The GEOSS Clearinghouse is the engine that drives the entire system. It connects directly to the various GEOSS components and services, collects and searches their information and distributes data and services.

ISO 19115 Metadata for Air Quality | ISO 19115 is the metadata standard for Geographic information. The AQ Community chose ISO 19115 because it is a standard accepted by GEOSS and being implemented widely around the world. It includes the ISO 19115 Core, 19119 metadata for describing the geospatial services and AQ-specific metadata for finding datasets. |
KML Keyhole Markup Language | KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile. KML uses a tag-based structure with nested elements and attributes and is based on the XML standard. All tags are case-sensitive and must be appear exactly as they are listed in the KML Reference.
