Metadata

As part of EIRGIS’s mission to "improve the quality... of data", we encourage GIS agencies within our region to keep FGDC compliant metadata. This practice will improve the quality of GIS data by better informing users of the data we produce as to the purpose and methodologies used to create it. 

Along with encouraging the development and maintenance of metadata, EIRGIS is working toward the standardization of certain metadata fields, such as geographic keywords, security classification systems, and use constraints. 

We have created a database file that can be loaded into your Three Tab Editor which will populate your metadata with values unique to our region. Click here to download this database.
