Info Page: National Geologic Map Database section edits/changes

Feedback from cooperator: (tasks below)

The description of the National Geologic Map Database needs to be more thorough than the current "A distributed archive of standardized geoscience information for the nation" . This is the description from data.gov which I recommend using instead : The National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) is a Congressionally mandated national archive of geoscience maps, reports, and stratigraphic information. According to the Geologic Mapping Act, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Association of American State Geologists (AASG) cooperatively build this national archive, according to technical and scientific standards whose development is coordinated by the NGMDB. At present, the NGMDB consists of a comprehensive set of publication citations, stratigraphic nomenclature, downloadable content, unpublished source information, and guidance on standards development. The NGMDB contains information on more than 90,000 maps and related geoscience reports published from the early 1800s to the present day, by more than 630 agencies, universities, associations, and private companies.

This is on them, I added the easy tag because I thought it would be as easy as updating the description and changing the table, but I forgot it's all pulled from the services they gave, which only provides the ID, Scale, and Reference (No title or pub date)... And the description also comes through them.
