The Evidence Act applies to all agencies. These federal policies do not apply to state and local governments which may have their own policies. However, state and local governments are welcome voluntarily to contribute their metadata to Data.gov. To do so, they must publish their metadata using the DCAT-US standard while omitting any federal-specific metadata elements as noted in the documentation.
