Surface-water samples are\ncollected from streams or lakes at specific sampling stations.\nEfficient quantification of the site-specific geographic and\nenvironmental characteristics at sampling stations requires a\ngeospatial data set composed of the site locations that may be\nprocessed, together with other digital thematic maps (such as geology\nor land use), in a geographic information system (GIS).  Digital data\nfor 24 stream-sampling stations in the Yellowstone River Basin are\nincluded in this data release.  The station locations were retrieved\nfrom the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System\nwhere they are stored as latitude-longitude coordinate pairs\nreferenced to the NAD27 datum.  Selected station identifiers and\ngeographic codes also were retrieved and are included in the data\nrelease.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9HS8ZWG", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.740243b9-c6b1-41a4-98bb-de826a14fa8e.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_740243b9-c6b1-41a4-98bb-de826a14fa8e", "keyword": ["Montana", "North Dakota", "USGS:740243b9-c6b1-41a4-98bb-de826a14fa8e", "Wyoming", "Yellowstone River", "Yellowstone River Basin", "environment", "gaging stations", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "sampling stations", "surface water", "water quality"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-110.92394679, 43.58748981, -104.15611266, 47.67833036", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Surface-water sampling stations, National Water-Quality Assessment, Yellowstone River Basin, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming"}
