CSDGM was developed by the The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) - a U.S. Federal inter-agency committee that promotes the coordinated development, use, sharing, and dissemination of geospatial data. FGDC activities are hosted by the U.S. Geological Survey and allows users to: a) ascertain the fitness of the geospatial data set for an intended use; and, b) Determine the availability, means of accessing, and to successfully transfer a set of geospatial data.

FGDC for Data Discovery - Mandatory

The FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata includes fields in the Identification Information and Metadata Reference Sections that are mandatory for data discovery. In the graphical representation of the standard, these are yellow fields included in yellow sections.

Concept	Description	Dialect (Fit) Paths
Resource Title	A short description of the resource. The title should be descriptive enough so that when a user is presented with a list of titles the general content of the data set can be determined.
