and the costs of operating Data Finder.
- Metadata: MetroGIS Data Finder and the MN NSDI Clearinghouse

Finder as appropriate.

- MetroGIS should strongly encourage contributors to complete metadata records for each dataset. A complete
metadata record is a record with all known information about that dataset and all applicable fields completed.

Geographic Information: Clearinghouse Advisory Steering Committee, and vice versa.
- Feedback mechanism: MetroGIS should establish a LISTSERV for feedback and a mechanism for participants to
share information.
