METADATA Creation Workshop

How do you get you from where you are now, to standards based, spatial data descriptions on the Internet - in one day?

What??

A productive, hands on, information packed workshop where you roll-up your sleeves and create FGDC compliant data descriptions of your selected data layers. Then post them to the Internet for access through the NSDI Clearinghouse Gateway.

What Do We Get Out of It?

Tools, training, and metadata service on the Washington State Clearinghouse server. Learn more about how the Clearinghouse could become a significant component of your public and/or professional spatial data access strategy.

Price of Admission?
