The North Carolina State and Local Government Geospatial Metadata Profile is a standard adopted by the GICC in November 2014. This version dated December 30, 2016 made the following changes, reported to the Statewide Mapping Advisory Committee January 18, 2017:

  • Minor text revisions for spelling, grammar, capitalization, date and website updates;
  • Changes to tables:
    • reorganized each table so that Mandatory elements are listed before Optional elements
    • revised best practices to improve clarity

  • Changes to Appendices
    • Minor text edits and updates
    • Added Appendix 3. Element Xpaths - to make clear where in the standard they can locate the element
