ISO Metadata Editor Review
The US Federal Geographic Data Committee has embarked upon an ISO Geospatial Metadata Editor Review. The review is being performed in three stages.
Stage One: Feature Review
The FGDC and the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)
cooperatively developed a spreadsheet of metadata editor features of
primary interest to the US metadata community. This ‘Feature Review’ spreadsheet
was provided to the metadata editor developers to complete and
return.
Stage Two: User Review
A team of reviewers has been compiled to review each metadata
editor and provide feedback with respect to the metadata creation/edit
experience. The reviewers will specify the features that they found
most useful and any issues encountered when trying to access or
implement the software. In addition, the reviewers will spot check the
feature capabilities indicated by the software developers and provide
feedback, if needed, to clarify or more fully describe the editor
features.
Stage Three: Compilation
FGDC and the NGDC will compile the results and make the
reviews available via the FGDC website. Final results will also be
announced to via the geospatial metadata listserver maintained by Geocommunities. FGDC
will also provide regular updates to the compiled results as additional
editors and features, including support for the ISO 19115 North
American Profile (NAP), emerge.
