ISO Metadata Editor Review

Looking for a tool to edit ISO19115 Metadata?  FGDC has published the results of a comprehensive review of these types of tools. The review was limited to ISO 19115 based metadata editors and does not include applications limited to:

- metadata standards other than ISO 19115, or
- metadata validation, distribution or other non-editor metadata operations.

For additional information, see http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/iso-metadata-editor-review

This review of available ISO Metadata Editors was lead by the FGDC Metadata Working Group with special assistance from the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). The review was compiled in two parts. Part One, the ‘Feature Review’, collected information about editor features and capabilities directly from the application developers. Part Two, the ‘User Review’, collected the observations of volunteers from the FGDC Metadata Working Group as they accessed and applied the editors. All content was collected from, and reviewed by, application developers and users. As such, FGDC is not responsible for inaccuracies or misrepresentations. Furthermore, presentation of this information does not constitute nor imply an endorsement of these applications by the FGDC.

FGDC will provide regular updates to the compiled results as additional editors and features, including support for the ISO 19115 North American Profile (NAP), emerge. Only those ISO Metadata Editors for which the developers provided 'Feature Review' information are included. Developers interested in including information about additional editors or users interested in participating in the 'User Review' of current or additional editors can contact the FGDC at http://www.fgdc.gov/contact-info. At this time, two additional editors, CATMDEdit and terraCatalog, are undergoing review and will be added when complete.
