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.
Fit: The fit of the dialect path with the concept is estimated on a scale of 1 = excellent two-way fit, 2 = one-way fit or some other problem, 3 - extension required.
xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means
any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere
in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements. This
usually indicates one of several concrete realizations of an abstract object. For
example /*/gmd:identificationInfo could be gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo
or gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo and gmd:identificationInfo//*/gmd:descriptiveKeywords
could be gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords
or gmd:identificationInfo/srv:SV_ServiceIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords.
Fit: The fit of the dialect path with the concept is estimated on a scale of 1
= excellent two-way fit, 2 = one-way fit or some other problem, 3 - extension required.
