3. Tools for Creating and Editing ISO Metadata

4. Tools for Creating and Editing ISO Metadata Various tools… different needs and requirements • Desktop Applications • Web Applications • Graphical User Interface (GUI) • XML editor • Standalone Editor • Part of Larger Software Package

5. MERMAid https://mermaid.ncddc.noaa.gov/request-account

6. Challenges ISO translation of CSDGM or related profile No native ISO editing environment External ISO validation Benefits CSDGM, RSE, BIO, Shoreline Exports ISO 19115-2 Exports ISO 19110 Ingest and export (CSDGM) records Platform independent Graphical User Interface Free – requires account access MERMAid

7. CatMDEdit

8. CatMDEdit Customization of the tool to support new standards and metadata profiles according to user needs. Automatic metadata generation for some data file formats: Shapefile, DGN, ECW, FICC, GeoTiff, GIF/GFW, JPG/JGW, PNG/PGW. Automatic metadata generation from the "getCapabilities" operation supported by a service that complies with the OGC Specifications (WMS, CSW, WFS, WCS or WPS).

9. CONS No ISO 19115-2, Biological, or NAP support No search or common catalog No transform engine No XML attributes PROS ISO 19115, ISO 19110, ISO 19119, CSDGM, Dublin Core Good validation Ingest and export records Auto generation for some file formats Platform independent Multilingual GUI Customizable Free CatMDEdit

10. GeoNetwork

11. GeoNetwork GeoNetwork is a catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources. It provides powerful metadata editing and search functions, as well as an embedded interactive web map viewer. Platform independent Multilingual Multiple standards • ISO 19139 • FGDC CSDGM • ISO 19115 • ISO 19115-2 • ISO 19119 • ISO 19110 • Dublin Core

12. GeoNetwork • Presentation of metadata records using different view formats, such as HTML. • Free download http://geonetwork-opensource.org/

13. Benefits ISO 19115, ISO 19115-2 ISO 19110, ISO 19119, CSDGM, Dublin Core Good validation Ingest and export batch records Search interface Platform independent Multilingual Graphic User Interface (GUI ) Customizable Common repository Open-source Challenges Complicated start-up Validation errors are hard to understand sometimes No Biological or North America Profile (NAP) support Transform engine cannot support XPath 2.0 (FGDC-ISO transforms) GeoNetwork

14. Geoportal

15. Benefits Partial FGDC CSDGM, RSE, ISO 19115, 19115-2, and 19110 Auto populates some fields Provides some drop-down menus Integrated workflow Challenges Does not support full standards No biological support Transform engine cannot support XPath 2.0 (FGDC-ISO transforms) Few XML attributes Cannot edit auto populated fields without editing code Geoportal

16. Geoportal http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoportal/

17. ArcGIS 10

18. ArcGIS 10 • Benefits • Integrated with ArcGIS • Auto populates some fields • Challenges • Integrated with ArcGIS • Metadata is in native ArcGIS format • Must know how to export to different standards as needed • Does not export gmd namepaces

19. ESRI ArcGIS Desktop http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop
