Minimum Metadata Requirements ( 0.04MB )
To share your GIS files at the CFGIS clearinghouse your GIS data to be used by other users, it must be accompanied by metadata (information that describes the GIS data). We have kept the metadata requirements to the bare minimum, to reduce the workload on participating agencies while still ensuring that end-users can use the GIS data they download.
