National Park Service Data Store Shares Records with NBII Metadata Clearinghouse

The National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) and National Park Service (NPS) have partnered to share NPS metadata records through the NBII Clearinghouse. Metadata records from the NPS Data Store have increased the holdings in the NBII Clearinghouse by nearly 17,000 -- resulting in increased ability for Clearinghouse users to access data from approximately 90,000 metadata records. To search for NPS data or data from other NBII partners, visit the NBII Metadata Clearinghouse. For more information on metadata and contributing to the NBII Clearinghouse, contact Viv Hutchison.
