What are some of the benefits of metadata?

Metadata that conform to the FGDC standard are the basic product of the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse, a distributed online catalog of digital spatial data. This clearinghouse will allow people to understand diverse data products by describing them in a way that emphasizes aspects that are common among them.
