What is it?
 |
DataLogr is a free software package that helps people input and format metadata for geographic data. DataLogr
(pronounced 'data logger') was developed and copyrighted by
IMAGIN, a consortium of
organizations in Michigan. |
Why use it?
- Simple:
The program is quick to learn, and a tutorial exercise and complete manual are
provided. Context-sensitive help is built-in.
- Creates useful output formats:
HTML: for on-screen display, printing and for creation of
webpages
XML and
SGML: for use in web search tools
CSV: for importing into database programs
- Software-independent:
It is not limited to any brand of GIS software; it only requires
Microsoft Windows.
- Flexible: Currently, it is one of the few metadata entry software
packages that can be
customized. MnGeo provides a version customized for the
Minnesota
Geographic Metadata Guidelines. Most other software tools contain the full
federal standard and cannot be modified.
