Welcome to the Clearinghouse information resource page. The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is tasked by Executive Order 12906 to develop procedures and assist in the implementation of a distributed discovery mechanism for digital geospatial data. Using the data elements defined in the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata, governmental, non-profit, and commercial participants worldwide can make their collections of spatial information searchable and accessible on the Internet using free reference implementation software developed by the FGDC. The following resources will help you learn more about Clearinghouse, who the members are, and how you can participate.
