Publication_Place: BLM RECOMMENDED Publisher: BLM REQUIRED – Bureau of Land Management Other_Citation_Details: BLM RECOMMENDED – <Enter any extra information here that the user should know about the origin or publication of the data. These would be details that are otherwise not covered by other available subcategories of the Citation section.> Online_Linkage: BLM REQUIRED, If Applicable –<Only for data published to the public – may be required by some publishing systems, and managed by other publishing systems. Direct URL to dataset. Example: https://www.blm.gov/... > Description:

Abstract: BLM REQUIRED – <A brief narrative summary of the data set. Describe in general terms what this data set portrays and the type of data (attributes) associated with it. Example: "This theme contains polygons of Big Horn Sheep distribution with attributes for season of use, key value, occupancy, and others (see Entity/Attribute section)".> Purpose: BLM REQUIRED – <A summary of the intentions with which the data set was developed. Why was the data set created? What business functions does this data set support? This [POINT, LINE, POLYGON] dataset was created to [EXPLANATION OF PURPOSE OF THIS DATASET]. This is not the correct location for any processing steps; those belong in the process section of the metadata.> Sample: "This data set was developed to support land-use planning and site-specific project planning", or “This point dataset was created to represent the 591 National Natural Landmark (NNL) sites for mapping and visualization purposes. These data were created from the centroids of the NNL Boundary dataset.”

Supplemental_Information: BLM RECOMMENDED – <Other descriptive information about the data set not covered elsewhere. Example: This is a good place to define abbreviations that you use elsewhere in the metadata such as the Keywords.> Optional: A published revision of the Department Manual’s Part 305: Departmental Science Effects, Chapter 3: Integrity of Scientific and Scholarly Activities (305 DM 3), effective December 16, 2014, is available online at http://elips.doi.gov/ELIPS/DocView.aspx?id=4056. Scholarly information considered in Departmental decision making must be robust, of the highest quality, and the result of as rigorous scientific and scholarly processes as can be achieved. Most importantly, it must be trustworthy. This policy helps us to achieve that standard (http://www.doi.gov/scientificintegrity/index.cfm) Status:
