As National Spatial Data
Infrastructure (NSDI) stakeholders move forward with the
implementation of the International Organization for
Standardization's (ISO) 191** series of geospatial metadata
standards, there is increasing demand for information about
applications / editors that can be used to create ISO compliant
metadata records. The USGS, through the Federal Geographic Data
Committee (FGDC) Office of the Secretariat (www.fgdc.gov), proposes
development of an online registration system for developers of ISO
Geospatial Metadata Editors to voluntarily describe their metadata
tools. Developers will be asked to include information such as
features of the editor, its functionality, supported standards, and
point of contact information through a login-based, online form.
The FGDC MWG
(www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/mwg/),
whose membership represents Federal, State, Local and Tribal
governments and the Private Sector, has requested the development
of the registry as a useful tool to learn about available ISO
Geospatial Metadata Editors. Since the information about the
editors may be of interest or utility to others implementing ISO
geospatial metadata standards, the FGDC will make the information
collected available on the Web in the form of a simple
registry-type database. FGDC MWG users as well as non FGDC MWG
members including geospatial metadata implementers from private
sector, academia, all forms of government, and the general public,
will have read-only access to the editor information published in
the registry.
