Category 1
Metadata Creation and Implementation
Metadata is an important first technical step toward
data discovery and sharing as well as preserving an
organization’s data investment.
This category helps organizations acquire the skills
and ability to document data to initiate metadata
implementation.

Category 2
Metadata Training and Outreach
This category assists organizations with metadata
expertise and experience to assist other organizations.
Project organizations will provide training and assist in
the implementation of metadata, clearinghouse or web
mapping services where needed.

Category 3
Institution Building and Coordination
Organizations or consortia often need help to develop
new, or strengthen existing, multi-organizational efforts
that supports the development and maintenance of
shared digital geographic resources. This category
fosters the establishment of cross-organizational
consortia that advance spatial data sharing within a
geographic area.

Category 4
Implementing OpenGIS Web Mapping Service
Standards based web mapping service allows users
to graphically integrate data from multiple sources
over the internet.
This category provides assistance to existing
registered clearinghouse nodes, serving metadata, to
implement OpenGIS compliant web mapping service
capabilities.

Category 5
Establishing Framework Data Services using the
OpenGIS Web Feature Service Specification
This category provides assistance for serving and using
draft ANSI Standard Framework data over the Web using
Geography Markup Language (GML) via the OpenGIS
Web Feature Service specification.
Projects are based on formal collaboration between a
data provider and a software provider. Projects provide
comment to the ANSI/INCITS Standards review, deploy
software that supports Framework standards, and
establish reference services for Framework data

Category 6
Participation in The National Map
Assistance is provided to organizations and consortia that
maintain, update and act as data providers - for participation in
The National Map.
Funds are provided to help new participants overcome
impediments to participation and to help existing TNM
participants improve their data services and provide them
through The National Map in an on-going collaboration.
