• Taught how to write FGDC Metadata in training sessions for well over 50 military, civil service, and contracted staff working for the Department of Defense, largely while working at HQ AFSPC.
• Prepared metadata for state, local, and federal clients since 1999 and have probably written more than 200 complete metadata records in my career.
• Written specifications for metadata tools and would be happy to provide further service to the Federal, state, and local community by teaching according to the limits of my client and employer.
