Clearinghouse is a physical repository structure that collects, stores, and disseminates information, metadata, and data. It is a distributed system of servers located on the Internet which contain field-level descriptions of available digital spatial data and services. This descriptive information, known as metadata, is collected in a standard format to facilitate query and consistent presentation across multiple websites. Clearinghouse uses readily available Web technology for the publication and discovery of available geospatial resources through clearinghouse portal.

  • Custodians are agencies that act as trustees on behalf of the Government and not absolute owners of the data stored in their respective databases.
  • Fundamental Geospatial Data (FGD) is a high interest or significant geospatial data that complies with the standards and required by various parties to support the planning and development of a country or organization. The main references of FGD are based on the features in the document Malaysian Standard MS1759 Geographic Information/ Geomatics - Feature and Attribute Codes.
  • Geospatial Data Centre (GDC) is a main component of the data framework in the implementation of the National Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI). The development and maintenance of GDC data is centrally located based on seamless data categories and complies with the standards.

Geospatial Data or geographic information is data or information that identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on earth, such as natural or man-made features, oceans, and more. Spatial data is usually stored as coordinates and topology and can be mapped. Spatial data is often accessed, manipulated or analyzed the Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
