DataDictionary:
The data dictionary provides geographic information system (GIS) data file descriptions and metadata, and resource information for each environmental assessment area in a user-friendly format. Data dictionary (or system catalog) is a database about the data. A tool for recording, coordinating and processing information about the data that an organization uses. A central catalog for metadata.

DataDictionary:
Gathering and understanding available geodata is not simple. The process is lengthy, requires communication, early data exchanges, and people skilled at sorting out complex data. With the SEPP, the geodata useful for transportation corridor planning is being catalogued and organized according source, category, and applicability. As result, the Data Dictionary contains not only a metadata, but all necessary information to rapidly familiarize the users with the data available (date, format, storage, software required, contact person, projects associate with, etc)

DataDictionary:

Hypothesis: Earlier integration of local data is ideal. Local plans and issues may be reflected in results and possible opposition may be avoided. Challenge: Integrating best available data from Federal, State and local spheres is the biggest challenge. Organizing the data and developing a multiscale data dictionary is a must! Federal data Moderate to low detail data. Very well documented, distriduted nationally, widely used.

LocalData

State Data

Federal Data

State data Moderate to highly detailed. Widely used with decent metadata. Reuse of valueadded versions of federal data is common. Local data Highly detailed data. Produced for internal use as needed. Not typically distributed so normally does not incorporate proper metadata documentation.

Difficultyinavailability

Unfortunately, getting data of interest in detail is a great pain. Generally the larger the geographic area, the more topics and time periods of data you can find for ex. Data from National Wetlands Inventory in the following slide.
