Search Metadata

There are many ways to search for geospatial metadata. We recommend the following:

• Delaware- The Delaware Metadata Explorer (DME) searches metadata published to the Delaware Geospatial Information Clearinghouse. There is also an option on the DME to search the entire NSDI.



• National- The Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) searches metadata published to the GOS portal. Many agencies at the federal and state levels are actively particpating with GOS to publish their current metadata holdings to this clearinghouse.



• International - This provides an interface that searches all clearinghouses around the world that are registered with the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI).



• FGDC Portal - Provides interface to search all US maintained NSDI clearinghouses.
