Texas Coastal Erosion Data Network and Data Repository

Summary

The main focus was to expand the capabilities of the TCEDN in two specific areas- Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities and Metadata Clearinghouse nodes. A web-based GIS server was established which allowed the addition of GIS-based reports, projects and data sets to the collection and provided the capability to query and view these GIS data sets. This data set is compatible with other State of Texas GIS data bases. A template was established for accepting metadata sets, a searchable data base and incorporate this into the TCEDN web site.
