Getting to Know METADATA
A free, day-long, hands-on workshop
that will help you to document your geospatial data correctly the first time!
Presenter:
Nina L. Savar, GIS Manager, Northeastern Illinois
Planning Commission
10th
September 2003, Lake
County GIS Training Laboratory, Waukegan, Illinois
Do you recognize the need to document your data, but
fear you'll get bogged down by the federal metadata standard?
Are you overwhelmed by the
prospect of documenting the vast amounts of data that have been piling up
for years?
Do you have spatial data you want to publicize, but
don't know how or where?
Then
come to this free, hands-on workshop!
-
Learn to search for and
read metadata efficiently
-
Learn how to write metadata using a
Astandard@ format
-
Learn how to use
metadata compilation software
|
In one day, learn the uses of and
the reasons for writing and maintaining metadata for your organization. Learn
methods to make the task of writing metadata painless. Learn how to share your
information with the wider community and publicize your holdings internationally.
Topics Include: Review of the
structure and components of FGDC CSDGM-compliant metadata; Introduction to
metadata collection tool; Minimally compliant versus fully compliant metadata;
Finding metadata resources on the Internet.
Bring yourself and one other person
from your organization: In this case, two heads are better than one!
Participants will be contacted
prior to the workshop to draft a minimally-compliant metadata set from which to
learn the FGDC standard. After the workshop, participants will complete their
metadata and post it to the federal metadata clearinghouse.

Wednesday, 10 September 2003, 9:00
a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Where:
Lake County GIS Training Laboratory,
