FGDC Metadata

• Using arcgis 9.3 or some other FGDC editor (metavist, npseditor, etc…)

• You can still run thru the esri2eml2.1 stylesheet– Still need to customize for your site– Follow some best practices (EML more restrictive)

Stylesheet Customization

• Demo– Site info– Legal/data access policies, etc– May be others, document as we run more examples

• How to find errors before you parse.• Parse using ecoinformatics parser• Solving errors • Send problems/errors to Indigo and Theresa, we

Recommendations to EML Dev

• Raster/vector tags for eml would have distribution information for download here or in the main distribution tag?

• Other question? What about the other distribution tag? Where do we do this? (for a web service, for example…– If 2, first would need to be data, 2nd web service.
