Science and Products
USGS enterprise tools for efficient and effective management of science data
The Science Data Management Branch (SDM) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides data management expertise and leadership and develops guidance and tools to support the USGS in providing the nation with reliable scientific information on the basis of which to describe the Earth. The SDM suite of tools supports the USGS Data Management Lifecycle by facilitating quality assurance, description,

hydrolink - python package
The term hydrolink is being defined as the linkage of spatial data to a stream network. This is similar to the analogy of providing an address on a road network and provides locational context and position within a stream network. Hydrolinking data to a common stream network allows information to be centralized helping support landscape scale analyses and modeling efforts. Versions of the National
USGS Model Catalog Tools and Metadata
Tools and metadata for the USGS Model Catalog.
USGS Model Catalog intake repository
This project contains the repository component of a modular catalog implementation.

Understanding how data are used across the scientific community provides many benefits to data authors, including building a better awareness and comprehension of 1) a dataset's scientific impact, 2) use cases to direct future versions, and 3) related efforts. Effectively tracking when and how data are used in the literature through time can be challenging. This is in part due to a lack of consis
