Metadata Editor Review


Reston, Virginia, USA: 4 August 2008

The US Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) has published a review of ISO Metadata Editors.

The announcement states:

“The following review of available ISO Metadata Editors was lead by the FGDC Metadata Working Group with special assistance from the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). The review was compiled in two parts. Part One, the ‘Feature Review’, collected information about editor features and capabilities directly from the application developers. Part Two, the ‘User Review’, collected the observations of volunteers from the FGDC Metadata Working Group as they accessed and applied the editors. All content was collected from, and reviewed by, application developers and users. As such, FGDC is not responsible for inaccuracies or misrepresentations. Furthermore, presentation of this information does not constitute nor imply an endorsement of these applications by the FGDC.

The review was limited to ISO 19115 based metadata editors and does not include applications limited to:

  • metadata standards other than ISO 19115
  • metadata validation, distribution or other non-editor metadata operations.”
