Arkansas GeoLibrary

 

Other Geospatial Interoperability areas:

The Arkansas GeoLibrary node of Clearinghouse was registered in 1999, with the support of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). It has grown to an archive of over 800 metadata records, which, due to the fact that these records document seamless statewide data layers, represents over 15,000 metadata records in a traditional archive. The node provides OGC web mapping services (WMS) and OGC web feature server (WFS) capability as well as OGC Style Management under OWS 2. Software developed at CAST in the course of several FGDC Cooperative Agreements projects, allow metadata records to be quickly updated, added, and indexed in the Arkansas GeoLibrary Clearinghouse node. Currently all metadata for geospatial data available in the University of Arkansas Spatial Library (UASL)is stored in an Oracle based SMMS.

Federal Geographic Data Committee  

The formal metadata at this site is compliant with The Federal Geographic Data Committee Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata. Plea se note that while browsing various pages at the CAST web site you may encounter references to 'metadata'. In most cases this refers to informal, legacy metadata that in all likelihood does not comply with the FGDC standards.
