Spatial Metadata and Clearinghouse Training
May 7 - 9, 2003
CIESIN is pleased to offer a training session on using and creating
geospatial metadata. The introductory metadata session will be held on May
7-8, and an additional session on setting up a clearinghouse node for
serving metadata records will be held on May 9. Support for this training
is provided by the 2002 Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)
Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP).
There is no registration fee for these training sessions: however, seating
is limited. If you would like to attend either or both of the sessions,
please send a message with a) your contact information, b) which
session(s) you would like to attend, and c) your organizational
affiliation to metadata_training@ciesin.columbia.edu. Alternatively, you

trainees and alternates by April 16. Some spaces in the session will be
reserved for recipients of FGDC CAP Category 1 Metadata Implementation
Assistance Projects.
