GeoData
GeoData gives
users access to downloadable vector and raster spatial data for Idaho.
These data sets have been organized by INSIDE Idaho staff from the formidable amount of geospatial data developed by state,
federal and local
agencies, research organizations and individual researchers. Many
data sets have been standardized to facilitate ease of use. Follow
this link to find data.
The majority of spatial data on the INSIDE Idaho site are in Idaho Transverse Mercator
(IDTM)
projection. Additionally, some data may also be found in their native
projection. Most data have been compressed into ".tgz" files.
Many vector data sets are provided in ESRI shapefile format. Image data are provided in various formats ranging
from TIFF to MrSID. Many raster data are provided in Arc/Info GRID format. For more
information about the IDTM
projection, data compression technique, or data formats found on this site see the Standards page.
Every data series available for download has
Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant
metadata. INSIDE Idaho project staff are using metadata management
software to compile metadata records for data sets that do not come with
metadata, and to revise existing incomplete metadata records. The site is also a
clearinghouse node on Geospatial One
Stop. Many organizations have contributed data
to INSIDE Idaho. Data users should be sure to check the metadata to find
the contributing agencies who created and continue to
maintain these data sets. |
