Data Dictionary (Under Development)
The NSDI Organization Registry is designed to provide authoritative information about organizations participating in the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). This resource adheres to the widely recognized schema.org standards for structured data, specifically following the schema for the Organization type.
- Interoperability: Data can be easily integrated and understood across different platforms and applications.
- Consistency: Common attributes such as name, url, address, contactPoint, and sameAs are represented in a standardized way.
- Discoverability: Search engines and linked data systems can better interpret and index organizational information.
