| Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/metadata/base-metadata/index_html | 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 | 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. (Executive Summary, Emergency
Management in County Government, Page V) |

| Geographic Information Framework Data Standard (External link) http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/framework-data-standard/framework-data-standard-part5 | 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 | 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.
