Metadata Metodology The objective of the studies of CONABIO, particularly in the geographic information systems area, is to evaluate, gather and generate new cartography. For the past three years our cartographic material (maps) has been increasing. Therefore, a database allowing a quick and reliable search of data for each existing map has been created and is constantly develloped. Organization of cartographic information started with a review of each directory in maps, resulting from overlays, copies, and temporarily created maps. 1200 maps were reviewed, from which those important in analysis and general query processes were extracted. In order to organize all information, metadata -"data of data"- formats already available for geographic information were reviewed; these formats include: Graphic Representation NBII Content of Standard (December, 1995), NBII Content of Standard for National Biological Information Infrastructure Metadata (December, 1995), FDGC Content of Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (June, 1994). The format used as a reference for information input is the Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata NBII Metamaker (November, 1996), which incorporates NBII and FGDC standards with the following subjects: Metadata Digital Information
