Metadata, or "data about data," provides information related to digital spatial data set. It typically describes the creator, content, quality, accuracy, format, age, condition, and other pertinent characteristics of a geospatial data set. The intent of metadata is to benefit the creators of the data, as well as the users. Proper knowledge of a digital geospatial dataset’s lineage is critical to generate accurate inferences and conclusions generated from GIS analyses.
Furthermore, it allows for efficient querying of metadata servers enabling access to relevant geospatial data. OGRIP has deployed the Ohio Metadata Explorer to assist GIS users in accessing geospatial metadata and datasets that have been developed and maintained throughout the state of Ohio.
The OGRIP Metatdata Explorer has been disabled. Please email us with any metadata questions at gis.support@das.ohio.gov
GIS Links to various Ohio Data Sources:
OGRIP - Geodata Distribution Digital Line Graphs (DLGs) Digital Orthophoto Quarterquadrangles (DOQQs) Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs, USGS TOPOs) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/ServicesData/GeodataDistribution.aspx
Ohio Statewide Imagery - The Ohio Statewide Imagery Program (OSIP) is a partnership between State, Local and Federal government agencies to develop high-resolution imagery and elevation data for the State of Ohio to benefit Geographic Information System users at all levels of government. Accurate imagery and elevation data serve as the backbone for the development of additional data sets maintained and accessed by government decision makers and the public. http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/ServicesData/StatewideImagery/tabid/86/Default.aspx
LBRS - Location Based Response System - The Location Based Response System (LBRS) is an initiative of the Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP). The LBRS establishes partnerships between State and County government for the creation of spatially accurate street centerlines with address ranges and field verified site-specific address locations. http://ogrip.oit.ohio.gov/ProjectsInitiatives/LBRS.aspx
