<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am creating a metadata class for Seminole County
users and have had LOTS of fun wading through the legalese of the FDGC
standards. :) I finally got the standards and keyword thesaurus done and am
creating the class. However, I am having trouble finding ANY literature on
metadata to use as source material other than the aforesaid legalese, the
excellent example of the SJRWMD metadata, and a PowerPoint from someone within
our county. I did not see anything on the ESRI site (maybe I missed
something?) Can anyone refer me to any published metadata instruction other
than the FDGC standards, especially more examples of practical application of
FDGC standards?</FONT></P>
