Description

A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.

Abstract:

Connecticut 2008 NAIP Orthophoto Index contains polygon features that delineate the boundaries used in the creation of the 2008 National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQs) for Connecticut. This index grid may be used to determine the GeoTIFF image files and the dates each tile image was acquired. Aerial photography was acquired during the summer of 2008. The 2008 NAIP for Connecticut is 1 meter orthorectified imagery, 4Band (natural color and color infrared), leaf on. The ground resolution for this imagery is 1 meter per image pixel.

Purpose:

This index is used to determine the GeoTIFF image files and the dates each tile image was acquired for the 2008 NAIP imagery for Connecticut.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet

Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet

File name: FGDC Plus.xsl

Version: 2.2

Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
