  1. What’s Coming for MGMG: Metadata Workgroup Update Nancy Rader, MnGeo Statewide Geospatial Advisory Council June 30, 2011

  2. What is MGMG? • MN Geographic Metadata Guidelines • Streamlined version of FGDC metadata standard • Version 1.2 created in 1998 • Used extensively by MN GIS community • Metadata essential for data discovery, use and re-use • Clearinghouse, Deli, DataFinder, Commons, Geospatial One-Stop…

  3. Why Change MGMG? • Editing tools need updating • MGMG Editor no longer works in ArcGIS 10 • DataLogr (standalone) is outdated • Federal standard is changing • “North American Profile” (NAP) based on international standards • Need to document web services Don’t Duck Metadata!

  4. Editing Tool: Short-term fix • Modifying the EPA Metadata Editor (EME) so that it can create and edit MGMG1.2 metadata • EME works within ArcGIS 10 • EME can also be a standalone • source code is anticipated to be available by mid-July • ArcGIS Metadata Toolkit may be another option • anticipated release date: August

  5. New Federal Standard (NAP) • Transition to NAP is beginning • ArcGIS 10 complies with NAP • NAP is very complicated, but has a subset of mandatory elements • Want to stay compatible • Provides documentation for web services

  6. MGMG2 • Initial decisions: • Include all mandatory NAP elements • Remove the 4 MGMG elements not in NAP • Include elements for web services • When complete, submit to Standards Committee as a proposed state standard

  7. Workgroup Members • Chris Cialek, MnGeo • David Fawcett, PCA • Jim Gonsoski, Ag • Jon Hoekenga, Met Council • Mark Kotz, Met Council • Susanne Maeder, MnGeo • Jesse Pearson, Mn/DOT • Eileen Quam, OET • Nancy Rader, MnGeo (chair) • Hal Watson, DNR
