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
