<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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>
