This document describes recommended practices for using ISO19139 xml encoding of ISO 19115 and ISO 19119 metadata to describe a broad spectrum of geoscience resources. The document provides guidance for the population of ISO19139 encoded metadata documents to enable interoperability of catalog service clients with multiple servers conforming to this profile

This document provides guidance on the metadata content required to meet the use requirements for USGIN metadata. The intention is to reduce the daunting complexity of the ISO metadata specifications to a manageable level to promote development of interoperable metadata records for a federated resource catalog system

A brief overview on how to link data, obtain Identifiers, a look at the actual data and templates, and how to get your borehole data online. Video's part 1 - 5 Part 1 introduces and explains types of data for boreholes with an explanation on identifiers and linking data. Part 2 briefly explains metadata vs. data with an overview on templates used for borehole data. Part 3 takes a look at actual data being used and made through templates, spreadsheets and feature services. Part 4 starts off where part 3 stopped, a look at the actual data using the templates and feature services. Part 5 explains how to search the catalog for metadata records.

A brief overview on creating metadata records for resources in the US Geoscience Information Network (USGIN) and getting them in the system catalog. The catalog should include records for individually retrievable resources that are considered as a unit— things that come bundled in an individual file, document, or container. Software applications and services are also resources that should be documented in the catalog. Domain specific description information should be provided in domain-specific services like OGC feature or observation services or NetCDF services. Resources that would be provided by such ‘data’ services include individual database records, polygons in a GIS dataset, individual chemical analyses, and individual temperature measurements. Three workflows are currently supported by the system. The first is for situations in which there is some metadata information already compiled in a structured form that can be converted to a table for manipulation in a spreadsheet or database. Existing metadata should be loaded into the metadata template spreadsheet (http://www.stategeothermaldata.org/data-delivery/content-models/metadata/), and any missing information that can be added can be entered in the spreadsheet. The second workflow is for situations in which the metadata record must be created from scratch. There are two online tools for creating metadata in this situation. If the resource is already accessible online, the metadata wizard (http://mw.usgin.org/) provides forms for generating the metadata record. If the resource needs to be placed in a web accessible repository, the USGIN repository (http://repository.usgin.org/) is available to create a metadata record and upload the resource to make it available for online access. The AASG geothermal data project has implemented an online catalog using the open-source ESRI Geoportal software (http://catalog.usgin.org/geoportal). This catalog software has functions to harvest metadata from OGC service GetCapabilities documents, providing another path to get service metadata into the catalog. Includes webinar audio/video

This workbook is intented to facilitate compilation of metadata content according to the USGIN Recommended Metadata Model (http://repository.usgin.org/uri_gin/usgin/dlio/335). Usage and metadata content are described on the 'Notes' worksheet. Metadata records can be assembled and checked using the 'Metadata Template' worksheet. Content loaded into the template will be transformed to ISO19139 XML metadata records for the NGDS catalog system, but could be transformed to other formats as well. Field names in the template worksheet are similar to the XML element names in the ISO19139 schema, but not equivalent. Mapping from the columns in the spreadsheet to the XML schema is indicated in the FieldList worksheet (right-most column).
