Virginia Metadata Clearinghouse Implementation Support

Award Number 07HQAG0101, Category 1: FGDC-Endorsed Standards Implementation Assistance and Outreach

Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN), which is mandated to coordinate GIS activities across the Commonwealth, will implement a geospatial metadata clearinghouse to support the needs of local and state agency stakeholders in the
spring of 2007. This effort is timely. Stakeholders have been provided with introductory metadata workshops, are armed with metadata development tools, and understand the importance of metadata implementation. The implementation of the metadata clearinghouse and appropriate instruction will serve as the final catalyst to support metadata development and publishing among Virginia’s geospatial community.

This project will serve to support Virginia’s metadata implementation efforts, through the Virginia Metadata Academy. The Metadata Academy will provide a several pronged approach that will meet the needs of local and state government users at various levels of need.
