Geospatial Metadata Workshop
The month of May also brought the beginning of our metadata outreach efforts in the form of a 3 hour session presented at the Minnesota GIS/LIS Spring Workshops. Karen Majewicz and Melinda Kernik led the workshop, which covered the importance of metadata, standards and tools, techniques for batch generating technical and administrative elements, and a discussion of what makes good descriptive metadata.
