The 1999 National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP) supports 

projects to create and serve metadata for framework data themes through the National Geospatial Data 

Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse is a decentralized system of Internet servers that provide for discovery 

and access to geospatial data. Framework is basic themes of digital geographic data that most organizations 

need for most applications. Framework data themes are geodetic control, orthoimagery, elevation, 

transportation, hydrography, governmental units, and cadastral information. The 1999 “Don’t Duck

Metadata” Program will fund 95 projects for a total of approximately $1,800,000. These projects will 

involve over 240 federal, state and local government, and private and academic organizations nationwide.
