Title: Developing Geospatial Metadata Date: Friday April 21, 2006 Time: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Location: Computer Classroom 150, University of Idaho Boise, 322 E. Front Street, Boise, ID. Description: This one-day, free workshop will cover hands-on use of ESRI’s ArcCatalog software to document geospatial data as well as an overview of why writing metadata about geospatial resources is important, and what standard(s) are applicable. The goals of the workshop are: 1) to prepare participants to create Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant metadata to document their geospatial data 2) to assist participants to understand and use the information in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and 3) to encourage and facilitate geospatial data cataloging efforts in support of geospatial data discovery and data sharing activities.
