Project Description

The Australian Spatial Data Directory (ASDD) provides these search interfaces to discover geospatial dataset descriptions (metadata) throughout Australia. A dataset description is a concise document which consistently explains a certain set of geospatial (earth-related) data, and provides links to further information and possibly to the actual data.

The ASDD is an ANZLIC - the Spatial Information Council Australian Spatial Data Infrastructure (ASDI) initiative.
