<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> 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?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
