Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/metadata/base-metadata/index_html Federal Geographic Data Committee 1998-06-0101-Jun-1998 Implementation , Standards
Abstract: The objectives of the standard are to provide a common set of terminology and definitions for the documentation of digital geospatial data. The standard establishes the names of data elements and compound elements (groups of data elements) to be used for these purposes, the definitions of these compound elements and data elements, and information about the values that are to be provided for the data elements.

Emergency Management in County Government - A National Survey (External link) http://www.naco.org/Template.cfm?Section=Publications&template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=21623 Wes Clarke, Carl Vinson Institute of Government, University of Georgia 2006-08-0101-Aug-2006 Implementation , White Paper/Technical Docs
Abstract: In February 2006, the National Association of Counties (NACo) commissioned the National Center for the Study of Counties (NCSC)to conduct a survey to assess key aspects of county emergency management, including organizational structure, budgets and funding, personnel and training, use of technology, and ways counties collaborate with other government entities and nongovernmental organizations. NCSC prepared a survey instrument with input from NACo and from faculty studying aspects of emergency management at the University of Georgia, Indian University, and the University of North Texas. Requests with instructions for completing the survey went out in February to each of the 3,066 U.S. counties. The requests were sent primarily to county clerks, using a list provided by NACo. Forty-nine requests were returned as undeliverable. Instructions requested that the clerk send the request, which was signed by NACo Executive Director Larry Naake, to the appropriate emergency management professional. NCSC received completed responses from 564 counties in March and April 2006, representing all Census divisions and 46 of the 50 states. The counties range in size from 67 residents to more than 9.5 million, thus providing researchers with a wide range of variability from which to generalize American counties.

Geographic Information Framework Data Standard (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/framework-data-standard/framework-data-standard-part5 Federal Geographic Data Committee 2008-05-0101-May-2008 Implementation , Standards
Abstract: This Standard establishes common requirements for data exchange for seven themes of geospatial data that are of critical importance to the NSDI, as they are fundamental to many different GIS applications.
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standard Parts 1-5 (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/index_html Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) 2000-05-3131-May-2000 Implementation , Standards
Abstract: To provide consistency in reporting the accuracy of point geospatial data collected by different activities (e.g., geodetic surveying, topographic mapping, bathymetric mapping, facilities management mapping, cadastral surveying, etc.) and develop a FGDC document with a single methodology that defines how to report the positional accuracy for all point geospatial data collected, produced, or disseminated by the Federal government and the Nation.
