General Results

  • From review of GeoSpatial OneStop, it is clear that several metadata repositories hold the records for the same datasets
  • It is not wrong to have multiple partially redundant repositories
  • Must have a way to resolve inconsistencies
Possibly authorize one of the sites as "official" record
