This course presents the concept, principles, and value of metadata in adherence to metadata standards in current use by Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) member agencies. The content and structure of the FGDC authored Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) as well as the FGDC endorsed ISO 191** metadata standards are presented in overview. The initial focus is on discovery level metadata. Detailed metadata information is also presented to enable metadata creators to develop more 'robust' levels of metadata documentation, including 'metadata for access' and 'metadata for understanding.' Available metadata tools for the creation and validation of standard metadata will be demonstrated; and guidelines and best practices for writing quality metadata will be presented.

  • Presented in six (6) online modules; trainers can compress or expand the course to meet user needs in classroom or workshop settings.
Prerequisite: None
