Description

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

Abstract:

USGS 2008 High Resolution Orthoimagery Index for the Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven, Connecticut Urban Areas contains polygon features that delineate the boundaries used in the creation of the 2008 USGS High Resolution Area digital ortho photos for the Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven Connecticut urban areas. This index grid may be used to determine the orthophoto image files that aquired for the aerial photography, which was taken during the spring of 2008. It is 1 foot  orthorectified imagery, 3Band (natural color), leaf off. The ground resolution for this imagery is 1 foot per image pixel.

Purpose:

This index is used to determine the name of the orthophoto image file aquired for each tile.

Metadata Standards

Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.

Standard name: FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata

Standard version: FGDC-STD-001-1998

Time convention: local time

Metadata profiles defining additonal information:

Profile: ESRI Metadata Profile

Online linkage: http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html

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.
