Minnesota Metadata Clearinghouse

Status as of January 15, 1998

Update from November meeting

Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines

• Version 1.1 basically stable (minor tweaking in the description of the elements)
• Web site updated to version 1.1
• DataLogr template nearly finalized

• DataLogr programming complete!
• Delivery of final version 2.0 is waiting for documentation, expected in December January?
• Additional documentation for implementing Minnesota Guidelines will be written after DataLogr documentation is received

• Programming (Pete Olson at LMIC) in progress
• Coordinating with MetroGIS "Web Index" project
• Conversion tool expected December January ???

• We are now a "Test Server" on the real gateway (http://www.fgdc.gov/GEOgateway.html)
• 39 metadata records available
• Gateway seems faster, but still very slow (took 12 minutes to just display the metadata for 1 data set)
