GCMD Metadata Workshop

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
(preliminary agenda)


The Value of Metadata: Using the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) to Promote Your Earth Science Data, Services, and Climate Visualizations

NASA's Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) enables users to discover and access data, services, and climate visualizations relevant to global change and Earth science research. In this session, participants will learn about the value of the GCMD for discovering Earth science data, services, and visualizations. In addition, data and services from ESIP members will be highlighted in the updated ESIP portal. A "hands-on" demonstration of our metadata authoring tool will be given and participants will have the opportunity to use the tool for describing their data, services, and visualizations.
Please bring your laptop to the workshop.
