Welcome to the Delaware Geospatial Information Clearinghouse!

The Delaware Geospatial Information Clearinghouse supports the coordination efforts at the national level of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and at the state level of the Delaware Geographic Data Committee (DGDC).

Simply known as the "Delaware Clearinghouse", it is essentially a searchable database of documentation and project descriptions of geospatial infromation within Delaware. This documentation is better known as "metadata". Metadata entries provide detailed descriptions of the content and sources of the data or activity, often including direct hypertext links to the data sets or websites.

From this site, you can search or browse through the Delaware Clearinghouse metadata, search other national and international clearinghouses, find help how to create and maintain metadata, publish metadata to the Delaware Clearinghouse, and much more. Most of the information contained within the Clearinghouse have been contributed primarily by State and local government agencies. However, we welcome and encourage contributions from all data producers – public, private, and individuals.

This Delaware Geospatial Information Clearinghouse gratefully acknowledges the financial support provided by grants from the FGDC Competitive Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) and other funding from the University of Delaware.
